China itself is now in the process of sloughing off not only the communist system, but also those outdated parts of Confucianism that prevent the rapid acquisition of knowledge needed to adjust to new ways of life and work.

I can understand the Cultural Revolution of Mao Tse-tung.

Historically, there had been many periods of Chinese Renaissance.

The Chinese culture belongs not only to the Chinese but also to the whole world.

Our parents decided not to teach us Chinese. It was an era when they felt we would be better off if we didn't have that complication.

For all the social changes in China can be traced to their early beginnings in the days when the new tools or vehicles of commerce and locomotion first brought the Chinese people into unavoidable contact with the strange ways and novel goods of the Western peoples.

The Chinese people, too, went through all kinds of vicissitudes in their religious development.

I grew up pretty much prevented from knowing anything from Communist China except that they were the bad guys that stole our country.

I need to talk about Chinese culture. We have deep, strong philosophy and culture. I want to share some information, tell the worldwide audience.

The question was heatedly debated of how much Western culture should be brought into China.
