It is difficult to characterize a nation as a whole, any kind of statement will be oversimplified, and it is not easy to avoid nationalism. Also it is quite difficult to make general statements of a multi-national country which has 1.4 billion citizens, China is probably one of the culturally most diverse countries of the world. But if I want to force myself to tell something about Chinese in general briefly, I would say that Chinese are not better and not worse than any other nation. Everyone has strong points and weak points, naturally Chinese have many strong points and many weak points as well.

很难把一个国家作为一个整体来描述，任何的说法都是过于简略的，而且不容易避免民族主义。而且也很难对一个有着14亿人口的多民族国家做一个一般的陈述。中国是世界上文化最多元的国家之一。但是如果我想强迫我自己去简要地说一些关于中国的东西，我会说中国人并不比别人好或差。每个人都有长处和短处，自然中国人也有许多优点和缺点。

Food is the single most subjective topic, your favourite food will perhaps make some other people sick, and the opposite might be true as well... Chinese foods are surely good for those who like them, I like them, but probably some foreigners don’t; but I would say every nation thinks that their own food is the best, it is natural.

食物是最主观的一个话题，你最喜欢的食物也许会让其他人恶心，反过来也成立……中国美食对那些喜欢它的人肯定是好的，但也许一些外国人不喜欢；但我会说每个国家都认为他们自己的食物是最棒的，这很自然。

Long traditions, sure we have, although few people keep them today, the society changed a lot, also communism eradicated many elements of the traditional Chinese culture. Unfortunately nowadays for many people money is the most important, not the traditions.

悠久的传统，我们当然有，尽管很少的人保持到了今天，社会变化得太多，并且共产主义铲除了许多传统文化的元素。不幸的是如今对很多人来说钱是最重要的，不是传统。

Far-sighted and united? I would say this is something in which Chinese perform worse than other countries. Chinese are absolutely not united, if ten Chinese are together they want eleven different things. Most Chinese do not care at all for their broader community (street, district, city, province, country level), only for the family, or maybe immediate friends. Also flexible and pragmatic is a bit strong, I would say that most Chinese are a bit too rigid and inflexible.

远见和团结？我想说这方面中国人表现得比其他国家要差。中国人绝对不团结，如果十个中国人在一起他们会想要十一个不同的东西。大部分中国人根本不关心离身边太远的事情（街道，地区，城市，省，国家级别的），只有家庭，或者直接往来的朋友。并且灵活和务实也太勉强，我想说大部分中国人有点太僵化和不灵活。

In science and technology China is still far below the western countries. We started science much later, and did not develop the same kind of culture and tradition of scientific research as it was developed in western countries for centuries, and now we are trying to learn from foreigners. I work at a university and I must say that Chinese education is still very poor in comparison to Europe and US, and therefore the research is also behind. Practically all of our best scientists were educated abroad. China would need much more internationalization in this respect, foreign experts should be attracted to the country much more strongly. There has been incredible attempts to improve the situation in the past decade, and there were lots of great achievements, but still, more would be needed; we are working on it.

中国在科技上仍然远落后与西方国家。我们在科学上起步太晚，也没有发展出相同科技文化和传统，当西方在科技上已经发展数百年的时候。现在我们努力向外国人学习。我在大学工作，我必须说中国教育仍然很差相比于欧洲和美国，因此研究也就落后了。我们所有的优秀科学家几乎都在国外留学过。中国在这方面需要更国际化，外国专家应该要大大地引进。在过去的十年里，我们做了很多难以置信的努力来改变现状，并且也取得相当的成就，但是仍然需要更多；我们正在努力。

Art (music, paintings, literature etc.) is really great, it is a strength of our nation. Complex, deep, unique, an important addition to the universal cultural heritage of the humankind. We should be proud of it. Movies? Depends on your taste, I am not a big fan of Chinese movies. Perhaps it is not without reason that most foreigners never have seen any Chinese movies in their life.

艺术（音乐，绘画，文学等）很伟大，这是我们民族的特长。复杂，深刻，独特，是人类文化遗产的一个重要的补充。我们应该为它骄傲。电影？取决于你的口味，我不是中国电影的粉丝。或许大多数外国人一生中从未看过中国电影。

So my point is, we should be proud for those things which deserve to be proud of (there are many of such things!), and we should improve ourselves in the points in which we need improvement (there are also many of such things!). We should see all other nations in a humble way and respect their culture in the same way as we respect ourselves.

所以我的观点是，我们应该为那些值得骄傲的东西骄傲（有很多这样的东西！），并且我们应该在需要改进的地方改进自己（也有很多这样的东西！）我们应该以谦卑的态度看待其他国家，尊重他们的文化，就像我们尊重我们一样。

No they are apparently not. A common narrative among Chinese people is that the Chinese are not good at individual sports, which is, regrettably, true to some extent given the past records.
Plus there's a feeling that Chinese males are not good at attracting public attention, which is, again, true to some extent.

不他们显然不是。一个关于中国人的常见说法是中国人不擅长个人体育，遗憾的是，鉴于过去的记录，这是真的。
此外，有一种观点认为中国男人不善于吸引公众注意，这在某种程度上也是真的。

Aren't they good at wushu and bad at soccer?

    Yeah, but there is the perception that individual sports like running are somehow a shortcoming for the Chinese. It can be the exact reverse of that perception sometimes, like being not good at football or bastkeball.

是的，但有人认为像跑步这样的个人运动对中国人来说是一个短板。反过来说也很准确，比如不擅长足球或篮球。

Well several of them are very opiniated. Chinese food isn't desirable to many foreign palates, music, ‘manhua’, movies and other art forms is very subjective and doesn't make much sense to foreigners. I would say they are pretty average, but their large population definitely goes a long way.

他们中好多人都很武断啊。中国食物不需要很多外国口味，音乐，“漫画”，电影还有其他艺术形式是很主观的，并且对外国人没多大意义。我想说他们相当普通，但他们巨大的人口肯定要走很长的路。

Historically speaking, Chinese are not good at followings:

从历史的角度说，中国人在以下几点表现不佳：

Wars. 
Chinese, especially Han Chinese, are really not good at fighting especially attacking initiatively. That’s why most of the wars in the ancient time are failures. Great victories are often done by newly assimilated ethnics.

战争
中国人，尤其是汉人，不太擅长战斗，尤其是主动进攻。那就是为什么大多数古代战争都失败的原因。伟大的胜利往往是由新同化的民族完成的。

Unity.
It’s very hard for Chinese people to be held together peacefully. No central government= great chaos= endless wars between different cultural regions.
This is because one of the main charateristics of Confucius culture: family and small community/group-based mentality.

团结
对中国人来说和平共处太难了。没有中央政府=大混乱=不同文化区域间无休止的战争。这是因为儒家文化的一个主要特征：家族和小团体/群体心态。

One Unique national Religion.
It never happened in Chinese history that everyone worshiped one same god.
Every major religion once appeared in human history came into China at a certain time but none of them became “national religion”. Buddhism has been very popular throught the history, however, it’s more like a way of peaceful life rather than any religion in western term.

一个独特的民族宗教
中国历史上从来没有所有人崇拜同一个神。
每一个人类历史上的主要宗教在特定的时间进入中国，但没有一个成为“国教”。佛教在历史上很受欢迎，但它更像是一种和平的生活方式而不是任何西方形式的宗教。

“No central government= great chaos= endless wars between different cultural regions”. That is very historically true. But the whole point of the endless wars is to fight for dominance and throne, which will eventually lead to a new central government, and thus unity. Since Qin Shi Huang, China has had a consistent history of 2000 years in unifying a very diverse spectrum of different cultural groups under the control of one central government. In that regard, I would argue that China is actually pretty “good at” unity, even though the way to unity may often be found “chaotic”.

没有中央政府=大混乱=不同文化区域间无休止战争。这是非常真实的历史。但是，无休止的战争的目的都是为了争夺统治权和皇位，最终将产生一个新的中央政府，从而统一。自秦始皇以来，中国已经有了一个统一非常多元化的群体在一个中央政府的统治下的2000年的历史。在这方面，我认为中国实际上是非常“好”的统一，尽管统一的方式往往可以发现“混乱”。
