China is a marvel in the orient. The reason being that when you look back 30 plus years ago. You could have never anticipated how far China would come without assistance from the west like most countries rely on.
中國是東方的奇蹟。我這麼說的原因是當你回顧三十多年前。你無法預料到如果沒有西方的援助，中國能走多遠，大多數國家都依賴西方的援助。
For one it's safe toive in in china than a lot of countries considering the population densiry.
首先，考慮到人口密度，在中國比許多國家更安全。
Getting everything is convenient accept documents which can be a pain in China. The people are usually friendly and open to foreigners, however the approach some Chinese use may seem overwhelming to some foreigners and ovwraggresive though they mean well.
在中國，要獲得一切都是很方便的事情，但要獲得證件則很痛苦。中國人通常對外國人友好和開放，然而有些中國人做事的方法對一些外國人來說可能無法接受，雖然他們也是出於好意。
I recent times China has opened up a lot to foreigners and it's easier to work, register and live in big cities.
最近，中國對外國人開放了很多，在大城市工作、登記和生活變得更加容易了。
Travel is another amazing thing China is good at. There are so many travel destinations with great attractiins. Not ideal to travel on a major Chinese holiday because the number of people can be overwheel.
旅遊是中國另一件令人驚奇的事情。中國有這麼多的旅遊景點。在中國的主要節假日裡旅行並不是件理想的事，因為人實在太多了。
Transportation in China I'd say is on par with developed countries and in some instances more advance than even developed countries forinstance the high speed rail system with over 2500 high speed trains which makes traveling across China super fast and convenient.
我想說的是，中國的交通水平與發達國家相當，在某些情況下甚至比發達國家還要先進，比如中國擁有2500多列高速列車的高速鐵路系統，使得在中國旅行超級快捷和方便。
Come to the negatives, not everyone who comes to China would love to stay for too long. First foreigners always remain foreigners and till now there's no way to naturalized as a Chinese citizen. Working with Chinese can sometimes be frustrating mostly due to language barriers and cultural differences which I think every country has that.
談到一些負面情況，不是每個來中國的人都願意呆太久。首先，外國人只能一直是外國人，直到現在，還沒有辦法入籍成為中國公民。和中國人一起工作有時會令人沮喪，主要是因為語言障礙和文化差異，但我認為每個國家都存在這種情況。
Some very few chines who are deeply nationalist can sometimes go a bit crazy when they thing foreigners aren't respecting Chinese like the United airline insidwnt, but this number is very very small. Most Chinese don't care much especially younger ones who are more open minded than older generations.
有極少數中國人是極端的民族主義者，有時會有點瘋狂，他們認為外國人像聯合航空公司那樣不尊重中國人，但這種人非常非常少。大多數中國人不太在意，尤其是那些比老一輩更開放的年輕人。
Chinese as a language is also very interesting although it's very hard to learn.
漢語作為一種語言也很有趣，雖然它很難學。
Overall China is a country with great people, extremely hard working, great social values (face), and has rich culture which is very interest.
總的來說，中國這個國家有著偉大的人民，他們工作非常努力，重視社會價值觀(面子)，有豐富的文化，這是非常有趣的。

We adopted a Chinese boy from Xiamen, China and are adopting our second from Tianjin within a few months.
我們從中國廈門領養了一箇中國男孩，幾個月後又從天津領養了第二個。
We spent two full weeks there. Here are some of the impressions I had -
我們在那裡呆了整整兩個星期。以下是我的一些感想
1 - I felt the overall country was very safe from a violent crime perspective, especially for foreigners. I never felt in danger in any of the cities I spent time in (Xiamen, Fuzhou and Guangzhou). I can’t say the same thing about the driving, however! The drivers overall were just awful compared to the US.
1 -從暴力犯罪的角度來看，我覺得整個中國都很安全，尤其是對外國人來說。在我去過的任何一個城市(廈門、福州和廣州)，我都從未感覺到危險。但對於中國人開車，我不這麼認為!與美國相比，這些司機總體上都很糟糕。
2 - The cities appeared to be very clean, although not at clean as most US and Northern European cities. The main waterway and lake in Fuzhou just looked pretty polluted. The streets were pretty clean and the buildings were pretty well maintained. Just not quite as aesthetically pleasing as most places in the US.
2 -這些城市看起來很乾淨，儘管不像大多數美國和北歐城市那麼幹淨。福州的主要河道和湖泊都被汙染了。街道很乾淨，建築物也保養得很好。只是不像美國大多數地方那樣美觀。
3 - I loved the food! I know this is so cliche, but Chinese food really was the best.
3 -我喜歡這裡的食物!我知道大家都聽煩了，但中國菜真的最好吃。
4 - The people I met were very courteous and respectful.
4 -我遇到的人都很有禮貌，很尊敬別人。
5 - I appreciate the long, dark and somewhat difficult history the people have lived through. I had no idea how bad World War 2 was for the Chinese until I started to read more into it when I was in China.
5 -我欣賞中國人民所經歷的漫長、黑暗和多少有些困難的歷史。我不知道第二次世界大戰對中國人來說有多糟糕，直到我在中國的時候，我才開始對它有更多的瞭解。
Overall we love China and the people. We are happy to have China as part of our hearts and home.
總的來說，我們熱愛中國和中國人民。我們很高興中國成為我們心靈和家園的一部分。
Maurice Stella, Takes one to know one
Mixed impressions.
我的印象有點好壞參半。
Country seems like very beautiful and varied. Different timezones, cultural expressions, climates.
中國的鄉村看起來很美麗、很不同。不同的時區、文化表達和氣候。
Hardworking people, helpful and well schooled. Aiming for the number One medal, always.
中國人工作勤奮，樂於助人，受過良好教育。永遠瞄準第一名的目標是。
That's also what's scary. From the outside, I have never been to China, the people give the impression of total lethargy. Like they have been kicked down so many times before by the top dogs, that not resisting, not having their own opinions has become the norm. The state makes up your mind for you they know what's best. That kind of thing.
那也正是可怕的一面。以外人的視覺看，我之前從未去過中國，中國人給我的印象是毫無生氣的。似乎他們之前被有權勢的人欺負得太多，已經麻木、不知反抗，沒有自己的觀點。國家決定了你的想法，他們知道什麼是最好的。諸如此類。
Brilliant in many ways, but at the same time conditioned into total Group Think.
中國人在很多方面都很出色，但同時又習慣了群體思維。
I hope that I have the wrong impression in this matter, doubt it. Just my politicallly colored glasses, I think the Chinese as a people are as great as anyone else.
我希望在這件事情上我的印象是錯的，雖然我表示懷疑。就我的政治有色眼鏡而言，我認為中國人和其他人一樣偉大。
People are people wherever they live: one blood, one world.
無論生活在哪裡，人都是一樣的人：同一個血脈，同一個世界。

I love China!
我愛中國!
I lived in Chenghai, Shantou a couple of years ago when I worked there as an English Teacher. I arrived in the country with little idea of what to expect and I was pleasantly surprised by what I found. The people are gorgeous - friendly and helpful and eager to learn. Oh, except for some (you know who I’m talking about, Mr. Rickshaw Man who consistently overcharged us and laughed about it).
幾年前我住在汕頭澄海，當時我在那裡當英語老師。我來到這個國家，不知道會發生什麼，我對我的發現感到驚喜。這裡的人都很好——友好、樂於助人、好學。哦，除了一些人(你知道我說的是誰，車伕先生們，他們總是多收我們的錢，還嘲笑我們)。
The most China image in my mind? Sitting with 40 Chinese teachers in the staff dining room and sharing meals (at least five different dishes daily, cooked by one lone chef in a teeny tiny kitchen), everyone talking and laughing and using chopsticks and insisting we eat “more, more!”
我心目中的中國形象?和40名中國老師一起坐在員工餐廳裡，一起吃飯(每天至少有五道不同的菜，是一個小廚房裡唯一的廚師做的)，大家有說有笑，用筷子吃飯，還不停地說“多吃點，多吃點”
China impresses me most by its people. So open with their thoughts, so anxious to help, to broaden their horizons, and to fit in with Western standards (That last one is a little sad. They shouldn’t have to fit in - they are perfect as they are.)
中國人民給我的印象最深。他們的思想如此開放，如此渴望幫助，如此渴望拓寬他們的視野，如此渴望符合西方的標準(最後一個有點悲哀)。他們不應該讓迎合別人——他們本來就是完美的。
What didn’t I like? It was very hot and steamy where we lived, with temperatures up to 40 degrees Celsius and high humidity. No thanks!
我不喜歡什麼呢?我們住的地方非常炎熱潮溼，氣溫高達40攝氏度，溼度很高。我真心受不了!

Over the past year I've had a lot of encounters with Chinese people through work, eventually leading to me moving temporarily to Beijing.
在過去的一年裡，我通過工作接觸了很多中國人，最終導致我暫時搬到了北京。
I wrote a thorough answer about what do Israeli's think of Chinese people which includes my first encounter.
我寫了一篇關於以色列人對中國人的看法的文章，其中包括我的第一次遇到中國人的情形。
In my answer I share my experience of a few clients I was working with. I'll tell more about my first face to face encounter with them.
在我的回答中，我分享了一些我和我的中國客戶的事情。我會多講一些我第一次與他們接觸時的情況。
I went to pick them up at one of the Hotels in Tel Aviv, As mentioned they were 4 guys ages 25-30.
我去特拉維夫的一家旅館接他們，我提到過他們是4個25-30歲的男子。
We went to eat at a very nice meat restaurant, this was before I ever ate in a Chinese restaurant, so we didn't really know what to do when they asked me to order for the table and share. (After eating out in China, I now know that this is a much funner and nicer way to eat out)
我們去了一家很不錯的肉店吃飯，那時我沒去過中餐館吃飯，所以當他們讓我點菜的時候，我們真的不知道該怎麼辦。(在中國出去吃飯後，我現在知道了，這是一種更有趣、更好的外出就餐方式)
We ordered some Whiskey and they took a little sip and left it for the rest of the meal, they said it's too strong but that's nothing compared to Baijo.
我們點了些威士忌酒，他們喝了一小口，然後留著佐餐，他們說威士忌太濃了，但跟白酒比起來，那算不了什麼。
As I Said in the other answer, for 2 of them at least, it was the very first time they used a knife and fork. and it was funny seeing them trying to eat with it. Poking the meat with the knife, putting it in your mouth while trying to avoid getting cut. (This is a steak knife yeah?)
就像我在另一個答案裡說的，至少對他們中的兩個來說，這是他們第一次使用刀叉。看到他們試著用刀叉吃飯，真是有趣。用刀戳著肉，放進嘴裡，還儘量避免被劃傷。(這是牛排刀好嘛?)
We talked a lot, two of them spoke pretty good English, and the other two not so much. The two guys who did spoke English complimented me for being Jewish, and as I said in the other answer, claimed Jewish people are the smartest in the world, read a lot of books etc.
我們聊了很多，其中兩個英語說得很好，另外兩個就沒那麼好了。那兩個說英語的人稱讚我是猶太人，正如我在另一個回答中說的，他們說猶太人是世界上最聰明的人，讀了很多書等等。
I recommended them a few things to see in Tel Aviv, and they seemed really nice people, a bit shy, but super friendly.
我向他們推薦了一些在特拉維夫可以看的東西，他們看起來很不錯，有點害羞，但非常友好。
Oh, and there was one thing I found really odd, We were outside one of the club areas in Tel Aviv, and one of them, a married guy, picked up one of those business cards with a girl and a phone number, asking me if he should call it later tonight.
哦,有一件事我覺得很奇怪,我們在特拉維夫地區一個俱樂部外,其中之一,一個已婚的人，接過一個女孩的名片和電話號碼，問我他今晚是不是應該打電話。
I said no, I felt kind of awkward.
我說不，我覺得有點尷尬。
Jim Broiles, Lived in China
On the positive side: In China, relationships mean everything and they are very strong once formed. People will do almost anything for a close relationship, especially family.
積極的一面是：在中國，人際關係意味著一切，一旦形成就會變得非常強大。人們會為關係親密的人做幾乎任何事情，尤其是家庭成員之間。
On the negative side: In China, there is absolutely, positively no such a thing as common courtesy towards anonymous people or the environment.
消極的一面是：在中國，絕對沒有對普通人或環境的基本禮貌。
James Kappler, worked at Philosophy
My impression is that Chinese are hardworking industrious people. They are intelligent and headed places fast. They work so hard and so long they do not even know where the Americas are, or care.
我的印象是，中國人是勤勞勤勞的人民。他們聰明，頭腦敏捷。他們工作非常努力，時間非常長，他們甚至不知道美洲在哪裡，也不在乎。
They are very busy, friendly family oriented people. They must know everything, they manufacture all the world's goods.
他們非常忙碌，友好，重視家庭。他們必須知道一切，他們製造了世界上所有的商品。
Jack Johnstone
China doesn't deserve praise in my eyes.
在我看來，中國不值得稱讚。
I would never want to live there. I don't care if they have nice infrastructure. Turns out that's very easy to do.
我永遠不想住在那裡。我不在乎他們是否有良好的基礎設施。這很容易做到。
I have Chinese friends, I have nothing against the people
我有中國朋友，我對中國人沒意見

I traveled in China for two and a half months. It was very interesting to see the differences between each province.
我在中國旅行了兩個半月。看到每個省之間的差別是很有趣的。
In general the people are very polite and mind their own business. The good food is sometimes hard to find, but its definitely there. Its a great place to go on vacation because on the one hand there is a very relaxing environment, full of crazy and amazing experiences, and on the other hand, its a country full of history and culture
基本來說，人們很有禮貌，關心自己的事情。有時很難尋覓到好的食物，但肯定是有的。它是一個很好度假目的地，因為一方面有一個非常放鬆的環境，充滿瘋狂和刺激的經驗，另一方面，它也是一個擁有悠久歷史和文化的國家
Clare Celea, British, once moderate now leaning left, mother of one
My impression is that it's a massive country, extremely diverse culturally, ethnically and linguistically, with an astoundingly rich history.
我的印象是，中國是一個幅員遼闊的國家，在文化、民族和語言上都極為多樣化，有著驚人的豐富歷史。
I also have the impression that nearly everything Westerners tend to believe about China is either entirely wrong, or at best incomplete. My impression is that I know very little about the real China.
我還覺得，幾乎所有西方人願意相信的關於中國的事情要麼是完全錯誤的，要麼起碼是不完整的。我的印象是我對真正的中國知之甚少。
Mark Schneider, studied at Uppsala University
You can really feel that China is also the "tool-shop" of the world. China has become a master of mass production for consumer goods. 25 years ago everyone asked why has this been made in China - is it bad? Now its the other way around, why has this not been made in China - so it can be good and cost efficient!
你真的可以感覺到中國還是世界的“工具工廠”。中國已成為日用品大規模生產的大師。25年前，所有人都在問，為什麼這種產品要在中國生產?現在情況正好相反，為什麼中國沒有生產這種產品呢?這樣商品就可以又好又便宜!
Brian Greenhow, Boring Aussie
Honestly, I don't really have any impression of China, neither positive or negative.
老實說，我對中國沒有什麼印象，無論是正面的還是負面的。
I don't really hear a great deal about a China though, I don't see much in the news. I haven't conversed with many Chinese online either. I've never traveled there.
不過，我並沒有聽到太多關於中國的消息，我也沒有在新聞中看到太多。我也沒有在網上和很多中國人交談過。我從來沒有去中國旅行過。

Same feeling when you see a beauty escorting a mobster. What a waste. Really beautifull land and nice people, but in the wrong hands.
這跟當你看到一個美女陪著一個暴徒時，是一樣的感覺。太暴殄天珍了。這麼美麗的土地和善良的人民，卻落入了不合適的人的手中。
Dave Lanner
Phone payment &transportation are super awesome.people are nice,some cities are polluted but some are very beautiful.some are very modern ,some are not that developed or poor at all.new generations are open-minded.China is changing very fast in a good way
手機支付和交通是非常非常棒的。中國人很友好，有些城市被汙染了，但有些很漂亮，有些非常現代化，有些則沒有那麼發達或較為貧窮。新一代持開放態度。中國正在以一種良好的方式快速變化

Super, super interesting country with an even more interesting future.
超級有趣的國家，有著更有趣的未來。
China is strange and different, it’s a one of a kind place, its culture is strong.
中國是一個奇怪、與眾不同的地方，它是一個獨一無二的地方，它的文化很強大。
China developed very fast all of a sudden, and so certain things haven’t kept up to that speed, I think that once those things finally catch up we will see what role China will play in the international stage.
中國突然發展得很快，所以有些事情沒有跟上發展的腳步，我認為一旦這些事情最終趕上，我們將看到中國在國際舞臺上扮演什麼樣的角色。
I think China has done, for the most part, a great job until now with its own issues, I don’t think it’s an easy country to manage.
我認為，在很大程度上，中國在處理自己的問題上做得很好，我不認為這是一個容易被人左右的國家。
I think China has surpassed the West in a few aspects, especially apps and their integration on so many levels.
我認為中國在一些方面已經超越了西方，尤其是應用程序和它們在很多層面上的整合方面。
It’s interesting when you see the Chinese copy something from the West and end up making something better out of it.
有趣的是，你看到中國人從西方複製了一些東西，最後能作出更好的東西。
I love WeChat.
China’s transportation system is superb, crowded but superb.
中國的交通系統是一流的，雖然擁擠但仍然一流。
The best thing about China is the safety, props for that and keeping the country so gun free, it must be very tough to accomplish.
中國最好的東西是安全，完全禁止槍支流通，這肯定是非常難的事。
China is hugely misunderstood, but it also seems to misunderstand others.
中國被深深地誤解了，但它似乎也誤解了其他國家。
I’ll be honest, for all the Chinese I can speak I’m not a fan its overall sound, but it’s definitely is a beautiful language, its expression capability is awesome.
說實話，雖然我能說中文，我不是中文整體發音的粉絲，但中文絕對是一種美麗的語言，它的表達能力非常棒。
Lastly, I feel like China is becoming increasingly paranoid.
最後，我覺得中國正變得越來越偏執。

So my answer comes from having never been to China. So just reliying on the little that I know from what I have read on the internet or seen on TV. These are just random thoughts.
我從未去過中國，我也來回答一下。所以，我只是依靠我從互聯網上讀到的或在電視上看到的瞭解到的那點知識。這些只是我亂七八糟的想法。

I don't know how much of that is true. But I am just answering in context of what I imagine China to be like.
我不知道這些有多少是真的。但我的回答是基於我對中國的印象。
Belvedrina Terzic, economist, linguist, artist, freelance translator, fashion designer, linux geek
Since my country is full of Chinese who sell cheap crap everywhere, I guess they would be in quite a bad situation back in China (because my country is really a mess, so if you come here for better life, you must be really screwed). Probably extremely low wages (even for the living standard over there) probably like Bangladesh, India..Beautiful nature. Economy highly dependent on export (especially US, but also Europe). Overpopulated. And that's about it.
因為我的國家到處都是賣廉價垃圾貨的中國人，我猜他們在中國的處境會很糟糕(因為我的國家實在是一團糟，所以如果你來這裡是為了更好的生活，你肯定是爛到家了)。可能工資極低(甚至對那裡的生活水平來說也很低)可能像孟加拉國，印度…大自然很美麗。經濟高度依賴出口(尤其是美國，但也依賴歐洲)。人口過剩。這是我對中國的印象。
Dan Tinianow, Have seen more of China and spent more time there than most westerners.
As best I can recall, my first impression of really being in China, not just the airport, was "These drivers are crazy!" A pedestrian has to be a lot more careful in China compared to other countries I've lived in or visited...
就我能回憶的，我到中國後的第一印象，不是機場，而是“這些司機太瘋狂了!”和我去過的其他國家相比，中國的行人走路時必須小心得多……
