Chinese are hard working, smart, and peaceful people who built their country without cololizing or invading other countries, which is very different from the west.

中國人勤勞、聰明、愛好和平，他們建設自己的國家，沒有殖民或侵略其他國家，這與西方非常不同。

As a Chinese, I have never been more proud of my country. The Chinese leadership together with my fellow compatriots deserve all the credit due for the amazing achievements and transformations taken place over the past 40 years, in fact the past 200 years since the Western colonialists aggression, China has fought hard, worked hard for everything they have today. And I have no doubt we will continue our efforts to make China an even better place.

作為一個中國人，我從未像現在這樣為我的祖國感到驕傲。

在過去40年里，中國取得了令人驚嘆的成就和變化，這一切都應歸功于中國領 導人和同胞們。

事實上，自西方殖民 主義侵略以來的200年里，中國經歷了艱苦卓絕的斗爭和奮斗，才有了今天的一切。

我毫不懷疑，我們將繼續努力，讓中國成為一個更美好的地方。

I witnessed the last 25 years of the 40 years of reform in China. I saw changes taking place in the country on a daily basis.

我見證了中國改革40年中的最后25年。我看到這個國家每天都在發生變化。

Sadly many Americans will never get a chance to experience these architectural and infrastructural marvels in China…

遺憾的是，很多美國人永遠沒有機會體驗中國的這些建筑和基礎設施奇跡……

China is a peaceful country and we have never invaded any one throughout history so Americans have a lot of reckoning to do with the coming election 2024.

中國是一個愛好和平的國家，歷史上從未侵略過其他國家，所以對即將到來的2024年大選，美國人要多想想。

The more u know, the more u respect the China's effort to improve their country

你了解的越多，你就越尊重中國為改善國家所做的努力

Many in the west fear a powerful China but I feel like it adds some much needed balance in the world. China prefers a win-win relationship with other countries whereas the U.S always prefers a win-lose.

很多西方人害怕強大的中國，但我覺得中國為世界增添了一些急需的平衡。中國傾向于與其他國家建立雙贏關系，而美國則傾向于零和博弈

China not only develop it's own country and improve it's own people living standard but also hel other countries' infrastructure through  belt and road.

中國不僅發展自己的國家，提高自己的人民生活水平，還通過“一帶一路”幫助其他國家建設基礎設施。

Bruce Lee

Thanks to the wisdom of the chinese and the hard working merit of the people, the country finally emerged into a powerful country again delivering decent life for everyone in the society.

得益于中國人的智慧和人民的勤勞，中國終于再次成為一個讓每個人都過上體面生活的強大國家。

China has a future and is currently heading towards a developed country with advanced technology and a culture characteristic of China, China will be successful in the future.

中國有未來，目前正朝著一個擁有先進技術和中國特色文化的發達國家前進，中國將在未來取得成功。

Look back into history, China used to be superpower of the world for thousand of years. The biggest difference between ancient China Dynasties and modern superpowers like British Empire and USA is China never wanted to rule the world in the past. Now, China is on the way back to its past glory, but still, it will become a superpower like no others, which is, in a peaceful way.

回顧歷史，中國曾是世界超級大國，持續數千年。

中國古代王朝和現代超級大國（如英帝國和美國）之間最大的區別是，中國過去從未想過統治世界。

現在，中國正在重拾過去的輝煌，但它仍然會成為一個獨一無二的超級大國，而且是通過和平的方式。

Squidus Giganticus

China has always been a global superpower for the last 2000 years. Only thing is that the last 200 years is an anomaly. In particular the last century of humiliation. This has been ingrained in the collective minds of the Chinese diaspora. Every single Chinese remembers this and strives to become the best that he can be wherever he is. It's only natural that China regains it's apex position as a global superpower within the world order.

在過去的2000年里，中國一直是全球超級大國。唯一的問題是過去的200年是不正常的。尤其是上個世紀的恥辱。這在海外華人的集體思想中根深蒂固。每一個中國人都銘記這一點，并努力成為最好的自己，無論他在哪里。中國在世界秩序中重新獲得超級大國的最高地位是很自然的。

Perfect Storm

The most amazing of all, China did all these without conquering others for resources or forcing others to accept its currency. They did it through hard work and good planning. Peaceful rise of China

最令人驚訝的是，中國做到了這一切，沒有為了資源而征服其他國家，也沒有強迫其他國家接受中國的貨幣。他們通過努力工作和良好的計劃做到了這一點。中國和平崛起

Just imagine if my government in the US would ditch its destructive and self-serving impulses and take a page from China, this planet would be a much happier place for all!

想象一下，如果美國政 府放棄搞破壞和自私自利的沖動，向中國學習，這個星球對所有人來說將是一個更快樂的地方!

Government in China works for its people and country. In India, it works for the personal desires of its PM, not even the ruling party.

在中國，政府為人民和國家服務。在印度，政府只為總理的個人欲望服務，甚至不是為執政黨。

China has unlimited positive potential, and will be the world peaceful superpower and leader, go China!! the world needs you!!

中國擁有無限的積極潛力，將成為和平的超級大國和領導者，中國加油！世界需要你！

China was once a dirt-poor, starving country in the past, but fast forward till today and China has since transformed into the world's 2nd largest economy (the largest if you go by PPP), the factory of the world, having the world's 2nd largest research spending, protected by the world's largest land army, the People's Liberation Army. And it's all been achieved under the leadership of the .

中國曾經是一個非常貧窮、挨餓的國家，但快進到今天，中國已經轉變為世界第二大經濟體(如果按購買力平價計算，是最大經濟體)、世界工廠，世界第二大的研究支出，受到世界上最大規模的陸軍——人民解放軍的保護。這一切都是在英明領導下取得的。

Yueh Chen

go-go-go-China and the world to build a prosperous future together, you can do it.!!!

中國加油，和世界一起建設一個繁榮的未來，你能做到的！

Raf IQ

Thank you so much for this "China Intro" that still shocks and moves someone who thought he knew China enough.  Those infrastructure marvels, expansive public works that help improve every respect of people's life, let's hope we see something similar in the United States.

這讓那些自以為足夠了解中國的人感到震驚。這些基礎設施奇跡，龐大的公共工程，幫助改善人們生活的各個方面，希望我們在美國能看到類似的奇跡

David Richards

Simple. Elon Musk who has EV and battery gigafactory plants in both the US and China says, "China rocks. They're smarter, they work harder, and they don't complain. American workers are lazy and they feel entitled."  THAT is how China became a superpower and the world's biggest economy PPP by far.

埃隆·馬斯克在美國和中國都有電動汽車和電池超級工廠，他說：“中國很棒。中國人更聰明，工作更努力，而且從不抱怨。美國工人很懶，他們覺得自己有權這樣子。”

這就是中國成為超級大國和世界最大經濟體（按購買力平價計算）的原因。

It’s crazy to see all these developments.

看到這些發展真是太瘋狂了。

Chinese DO a lot, while SOME Others TALK a lot.

歸結起來就是:

中國人做得很多，而有些人說得很多。

Colin Spencer

Western powers recognised the future vitality of the Chinese market as soon as the Bamboo Curtain fell.  VW quickly established production of Volkswagen cars, soon with plants in five provinces.  GM and others quickly followed.   Low cost of production is a small part of the success, but huge quantities of scale contributes a great deal of efficiency.   China's commitment to providing energy for industry and domestic uses is a reason for the shift of industrial manufacturing from western economies to China.

竹幕一落，西方列強就認識到了中國市場未來的活力。大眾迅速建立了汽車生產，很快在五個省建立了工廠。通用汽車和其他公司迅速跟進。低成本生產是成功的一小部分。中國承諾為工業和家庭提供能源，這是工業制造業從西方經濟體轉移到中國的一個原因。

China's rise kind of reminds me of Japan's rise to power over 100 years ago. Japan was a poor country, but rised to power in only 40 years. China is also a similar story. China was poor and undeveloped, but now, China is a superpower and on track to overtake the US economically by 2035 or earlier. We, as Americans, need to stop listening to American politicians and western news media and respect China and consider China as a friend, not a enemy

中國的崛起讓我想起了100多年前日本的崛起。日本曾是一個貧窮的國家，但只用了40年就崛起了。中國的情況也類似。中國曾經貧窮不發達，但現在，中國是一個超級大國，有望在2035年或更早在經濟上超過美國。作為美國人，我們別再聽信美國政客和西方媒體的報道了，尊重中國，把中國當作朋友，而不是敵人

Even before building roads and factories, there is one important development that is necessary for highspeed growth, and that is investment in human resources... that is what really seperate China and India... the early investment in Health and Education.

在修建道路和工廠之前，還有一項重要的事情是高速增長所必需的，那就是對人力資源的投資，這才是中國和印度的真正區別，早期對健康和教育的投資。
