The US Cultural Empire Strikes Back

For all the recent success China has experienced in the economic, political, and military sectors it still lacks in the export of its culture abroad. Even worse for the communist leadership of the PRC, its people love western culture to a point where if you want to be seen as successful you have to become westernized.

This has led to a boom in people wanting to learn English, while (regrettably) at the same time mandarin Chinese is not one of the top studied languages in America.

Culture should be the only thing that gives hope to us in America, and that through culture maybe the people of China will wake up and realize that a “socialist political democracy” is not in their best interest. Hopefully, they will see that their communist leadership does not want to better them but instead is looking to gain further control over China's population and in the end the population of the entire world.
