Question about communication between China and the West: Is this true (read below).....? - weave china bangs
Between Western countries and China is not common
psychological intervention. Their thought processes radically
different. There are no intimate vocabulary. The West
The spirit enters the spirit of the Chinese, but a short distance
when you are in a maze without soil. The spirit of the Chinese
penetrate into Western thinking for a short distance, when the same
obtained with a white wall, incomprehensible. That's all
a question of language. There is no way to communicate
Western ideas of the Chinese mind. . . the Chinese mind
Emotions can not short-Saxon words, neither
English thrill spirit hieroglyphics. Fabrics
their thoughts are completely different tissues. They
mental foreigners.

Hello Olivegal
People try to make a theory for everything and anything to beat on this earth, and I heard similar theories mentioned by many. For example, people say that Chinese people can speak and not easy to speak the language of the West by the way languages are structured. Something that many words to describe, in the West Indo-European () can easily by a unique symbol Calligraphy in China to be labeled.
So at least I think some of the theory of Jack London. But while agreeing to a theory, we must be prepared in case of half-truths mixed with lies to discuss. Is this an excuse to say that the principles of morality and ethics between the two cultures are different? Something that he thinks the West is immoral morality in China and vice versa. Please clarify.

HP seems to be a thinking man. Thank you for your question, the only honest question, which I hate "no" answer
Ah, 1914 convictions.
I think this is not true. I live in China and met good friends, everyone wants basically the same things in life. I think the language can be difficult because there are almost no similarities, and I can not not read the letters to see, but impossible.
It has been shown not to read the letters of a word before a rule takes the word as a whole, therefore, in essence, is converted to symbols.
Not sure what your question, but I have friends who have emigrated to America from Taiwan and English, especially children, overcome without an accent, and even bilingual. Sure, your mother tongue is Mandarin. In addition, some friends here from the mainland (all were U.S. citizens) and who speak English as well, and by the Cantonese.
Admit I am learning Mandarin in bits, but I have to, it's not sink or swim "situation that was for my friends, I have devoted to learning the language.
Seems interesting.
But man, 1914 was the world a very different place then.
