Topic: news China’s International Image and Influence: What Foreigners “Really” Think

This comment comes from the original Chinese article discussions. "上车争先恐后,不排队；公共场合大声喧哗；开车不守规则，不礼让；随地吐痰，乱扔垃圾??????別急，希望老外说的不是你." The getting onto the bus part is a bit tricky to translate, the other parts are quite direct. "Getting onto the bus as if it is a 'gold rush'; no lining-up; yelling in public; lawless driving; no manners; spitting everywhere; throwing garbage anywhere. I hope you are not the one the laowei(s) are talking about." To me, this kind of indirect teaching is far more important than getting them tomemorize the complete work of Shakespeare. What's the use with a brain full of poems when you act like a crossbreed between an ape and a cavemen? Very ironic for a 5000+ year civilization having to learn how to behave like a civilized humanoid....what have they learnt for the last 5000+ years, really? Better late than never.
