To be honest, I'm quite familiar with the "face" system, how to read it, and how to manipulate it. And, I've been reading all of the articles on here and other sites for about a year. I regularly watch and read state-controlled media, and daily surround myself with people from China. I aware of the positive and negative aspects of Chinese society, and still would prefer it to my own. The biases do not intimidate me. Bias is a part of being human; being politically correct is part of being Western.
A world of pain awaits me? Hardly. One man's pain is another's pleasure. Can't you accept that two humans can be so different in their desires?
