The question is not whether outsiders are getting China or Chinese culture right, but what we choose to do with their attention
What comes to mind when you think of China, Japan and South Korea?
This was a question posed in a second-year sociology seminar during my time at Bristol, and it has stayed with me ever since. We were split into three groups and given 10 minutes to create posters capturing our immediate associations.
“Do you guys not see how biased your thinking is?” I asked, as the only Chinese student in the room. One person nodded, only to add: “The UK has a lot of CCTVs as well.”
