【明報專訊】OVER the years, as its economy has boomed, China has quickly become much more powerful. Now it has greater and greater say in international affairs. However, generally speaking, China is just like a nouveau riche in many foreign eyes. It has yet to earn the respect it deserves. There are many reasons. For example, its political system is not democratic, and it has very different values. Such factors are often rehearsed. We are not going to discuss these big issues. It is clear from the chaos that has been seen at World Expo 2010 since its trial run began that management is poor in China and mainlanders are of low quality. One may feel ashamed of it. China and Chinese people are still far from worthy of respect.
