G'day Zhui, I have little love for China for what the Chinese leaders have done to the World. Ma'am, I do believe however, that your 'OZ Speak' can turn things around in these travelogue presentations. China is really the total of it's ordinary people and whom you present to us so well. The Chinese people have weathered many storms and like the bamboo, they will spring back to take back what is their real culture and nothing in Beijing will stop them. Those days will become just a painful memory. You have many friends, just reach out with sincerity and you will find that what I say is true. Percival - Thailand
After nearly a hundred years of history of being invaded and entering modern civilization, I believe that China is no longer the country with serious imperial thinking in history. I understand your concern, because China is too big, so when it develops, neighboring countries will feel threatened. Perhaps the disputes in the South China Sea over the years have exacerbated these concerns. Southeast Asia is a place with a lot of potential. I don't think China and Southeast Asia are rivals. I can only say that as an ordinary Chinese born in the 90s, I don't think people around me are hostile to Southeast Asia.
