Foreigners Stereotype of China 外国人对中国的刻板印象

For foreigners, when it comes to China, they will think about kongfu, giant panda and delicious food. If they ask you whether you eat cats and dogs, you will feel very curious about the question. Actually, most foreigners have the stereotype of China and the people there. When we watch Hollywood movies, we barely see Asian faces, or there exist, the images in the screen always show negative information. Most movies like to create the stereotype, for example, if there is a Chinese student, he or she must be good at math and doesn't like to talk to others. Most foreign people know nothing about China, because they don't have the chance to come to this country and believe in what the media present to them. So the misunderstanding of culture happens and becomes deeper. The way to solve this problem is to enhance communication between countries.

对外国人来说，说到中国时，他们会想到功夫，大熊猫和美味的食物。如果他们问你是否吃过猫肉和狗肉，你会觉得很好奇为什么会问这种问题。实际上，大多数外国人对中国和那里的人都有着刻板印象。当我们观看好莱坞电影时，几乎没有看到亚洲面孔，如果有，屏幕形象也总是负面的。大多数电影喜欢刻画刻板印象，比如，有一个中国的学生，他/她肯定是擅长数学，不喜欢说话的。大多数外国人对中国一无所知，是因为他们没有机会来到这个国家，只相信媒体呈现给他们的。所以对文化的误解就产生了，还越来越严重。解决这个问题的方法是加强国与国之间的交流。
