Ian Scott Alford from Fort Worth Texas: “Having spent a few months in China, I can’t understand this mindset. I see so much building, people going in to work actually happy, hell the traffic cops don’t even carry guns. The absolute worst I’ve seen is them yell at one guy for not wearing a helmet on a bike, and another for not wearing a seatbelt. Not even a damn ticket. But I’ve had people here tell me how many Chinese (especially the rich) want to come to America. I imagine my experiences are skewed, being an American that doesn’t (yet) speak Chinese. But still, I don’t get it.”

English to Chinese via Google Translate:

“在中國待了幾個月，我無法理解這種心態。我看到這麼多的建築，上班的人們真的很高興，交通警察甚至不帶槍。 我見過的最糟糕的事情是，他們對一個騎自行車時沒有戴頭盔的人大喊大叫，對另一個人大喊大叫，因為另一個人沒有係安全帶。 連一張該死的交通罰單都沒有。但這裡的人告訴我有多少中國人（尤其是富人）想來美國。我想我的經驗是有偏差的，身為一個還不會說中文的美國人。但我還是不明白他們要來美國幹嘛”
