Are there catchy slogans in China, such as “Buy Chinese”? Walmart used to market how much they bought in America, but it seems they have dropped that aspect of their PR campaign. I wonder if they just resurrected it in China, where they discuss how much the sell from China, and promote shoppers to “Buy Chinese”.
We recently picked up some little plastic farm animals and exotic animals toys. Each one is proudly stamped with the word CHINA. I can’t help but wonder what the person was thinking as they painted the spots on the leopard and the coloring on the pig. Had that person ever seen a Giraffe? Rhinoceroses? Did they think they were painting some alien creature, the type that could only be imagined by a methamphetamine addict from the midwest?
What does the Chinese assembly line worker think of America? Between SpongeBob SquarePants and Bratz dolls, America must appear to be some sort of messed up world, where the women have no waists, perfect breasts, and wide hips. Males worship mechanical deer and salmon that sing. Girls always play with pink toys, and boys play with cars that have oversized tires or the words Star Wars on them.

Based on your last paragraph I think China has an accurate view of America.

Yeah, and all Chinese people are short and use broken English, like “To Push START Only 1 Player Button” and “All your base are belong to us.”
