and i just wonder where americans study when theyre not that an advanced country and go back later to make their own country "stonger" and more democratic, in spain maybe? lol.

So gentlemen, I know quite a lot of Chinese pretty well. From them I learned that most Chinese are very modest. Being modest is really a big virtue.
Some of them told me that China/Chinese should be low-tone now and will still be very modest when they become the superpower in the future. Seems to me you guys are not really like those I know of. I doubt China can really grow into a superpower with respect from the rest of the world if you have so many "enemies" (almost every of your neighbors, such as russia, india, vietnam, and..). Then what is the difference between a to-be "superpower China" and the current superpower?
Isn't it more to the Chinese intersts to invest more of the resources to civil projects, rather than nuclear subs? After all, China is not that rich yet.

Gentlemen,
I have always provided substance as for as the topic is concerned. However, some of you americans just can not refrain from off-top stuff. As a result, we have to respond to them.
as for modesty being a virtue. This is true in all societies. I have lived in the US for many years too and learned many things from you as well. The virtue is not to be modest; the virtue is to always give the truth. Some truth are indeed modest, but many are not. However, being modest doesn't mean being defensive. We have known to take offensive as well. I think your interpretation and observation of our culture is quite incomplete. It can not take a modest culture to be one of the largest and most lasting empire in human history. It takes all the virtues to achieve what we have achieved in our 5000 year of history, with modesty being but one of our many virtues.

We only agree to disagree and will be as modest as we can and necessary. So long as there are off-top bullcrap from americans, we will responde to that.
