Part of the foreigners think that Chinese people are very wealthy, because the people go abroad are always have the lavish consumption , and they are all cash transactions. (May be we Chinese people do not like to use credit card related) to another part of the foreigners that the people still in the Qing Dynasty ...... Manga often appear years is strong evidence of male braids. ( and many thought that Chinese people like to smoke cigarettes.)Also part of the Chinese are nouveau riche, although they are rich ,but are not in high quality, Instead they are quite noisy, non-compliance with the order, spitting, graffiti map. Of course there is also a civilization, but because the foreign media concertrate more on those uncivilized people ,so image of chinese is not good.
