中国与世界关系的主基调是中国积极融入国际社会，同时坚持韬光养晦的对外政策，在国际社会中以自我主动开放、吸引外来投资和先进技术，而冷战结束以来，西方国家在同包括中国在内的世界其他文明和地区交往中处于主导和强势地位，并且通过各种方式，试图将后者完全纳入西方主导的世界体系，使得中国在与西方主导下的世界体系沟通时一度处于相对的不利地位，而中国是不会束手就擒的，这就给了海外人士一种错觉，中国与世界上其他国家的联系并不太紧密。在海外问答论坛Quora上，美国网友提问道：为什么我总感觉中国与世界的联系很疏远，甚至有些脱节？这引起各国网友的围观和热议，我们看看他们的观点。
问题
美国网友帕崔克的回答
How many times have one been to China? Once one know her better, one will become far less “disconnected” with what is the real highly connected China.
你去过中国多少次？一旦人们对她有了更多的了解，就不会与真正处于高度互联的中国“脱节”。

POP culture. Most kids are exposed and ‘modernised’ to serious hardcore gaming and foreign cultures, including the pops of the world, J-pop, K -pop, UK pop, and US pop.

Well, some still love old stuff too.

中国奥运会通过体育联系起来——2008年是有史以来最令人难以置信的精彩一届。
China is crazy about football , has its own league, and have numerous international competition. I just watched one, but unfortunately China CFA lost to Thailand by a sucker punch of a goal. For soccer, I can agree China is tragically ‘disconnected’ because they cannot get into the World Cup whilst Korea and Japan can. (Yes, you can talk about China on this point).
中国热衷于足球，有自己的联赛，并有众多的国际比赛。我刚刚看了一场比赛，但不幸的是，中国足协以一记糟糕的进球输给了泰国。就足球而言，我可以同意中国不幸“脱节”，因为他们无法进入世界杯，而韩国和日本可以。（是的，在这一点上你可以议论中国）。

What are your most important connections?
你心中所谓最重要的联系是指什么？
Culture, politics, finance, economy, sports, Internet, music and art or what? If you're thinking about the media? China has its own we media and official media.
文化、政治、金融、经济、体育、互联网、音乐和艺术还是什么？如果你在思考媒体？中国有自己的自媒体和官方媒体。
On political systems and values, China has its own effective systems and values. Perhaps she is more consistent and respected in the developing world.
在政治制度和价值观方面，中国有自己有效的制度和价值。也许她在发展中世界更为一贯和受人尊敬。
On economics, China is doing well and helping the world’s development and growth. On music, art and pop? Don’t worry, China has plenty traditional, and adopting new. Literature? You can find almost any Western print in China, and today she publishes more new books than any nation for her 95% literates.
在经济方面，中国做得很好，有助于世界的发展和增长。关于音乐、艺术和流行音乐？别担心，中国有很多传统的，也有很多创新。文学？你可以在中国找到几乎所有的文学印刷品，今天她出版的新书比任何国家都多，因为她有超过95%的识字率。
On culture and philosophy, the Chinese themselves do feel proud of their culture and would do well to avoid aping the West too much as she herself modernises, and to remember to preserve her cultural roots.
在文化和哲学方面，中国人自己确实为自己的文化感到自豪，在她自己现代化的过程中尽量避免模仿西方，并牢记要保留自己的文化根源。
Ultimately China (being Oriental) is indeed quite a unique culture (from the West), and will take time for the world to truly appreciate her well. Still she has plenty of friends, and plugging in strong. If anything, we should applaud once a backwards poor China that now far exceeds expectations in connecting with the world in just 4 decades. And becoming an influential rising nation. I guess not a day passes whereby the US for instance, don’t feel the vibes from those Chinese connections, good or bad (eg. Trade War).For better or worse, without China, the United States could not bear today's inflationary pressure
归根结底，中国（东方）确实是一种非常独特的文化，世界需要较长时间才能真正理解和欣赏她。尽管如此，她还是有很多朋友，而且很强。如果有什么不同的话，我们应该为一个曾经落后贫穷的中国喝彩，它在短短40年内蓬勃发展，与世界的联系远远超出了人们的预期，从此成为一个有影响力的新兴国家。我想，举例来说，美国没有一天不感受到这些中国关系的影响，无论是好是坏，没有中国，美国完全承受不了今日的通货膨胀压力。
I hope more will understand and feel less ‘disconnected’ with China?
我希望更多的人能理解中国，并减少与中国“脱节”的感觉？
英国网友皮特•埃里奥托的回答
I can’t speak for the rest of the world, but this is how I view China:
我不能代表世界其他国家说话，但这就是我对中国的看法：
China is a very old nation with a very young, ambitious, and forward looking attitude. They are rapidly approaching super power status and they are very aware of it. China is poised to become the largest economy on earth; you can either rise with them through cooperation or try to compete against them in a hostile manner; my own feeling is that it would be better to have China as a partner, sure you can compete with them in a healthy and fair manner, but keep it positive. They are very strong negotiators, you need to be as well.
中国是一个非常古老的国家，具有非常年轻、雄心勃勃和前瞻性的态度和心态。他们正在迅速接近超级大国的地位，他们非常清楚这一点。中国即将成为世界上最大的经济体；你可以通过合作与他们一起崛起，也可以以敌对的方式与他们竞争；我自己的感觉是，最好让中国作为合作伙伴，确保你可以以健康和公平的方式与他们实现双赢，注意要保持积极的态度，他们是非常强大的谈判者。
I’ve worked on several projects with Chinese companies- I find the Chinese easy to work with, they do their job efficiently, communicate very well, and keep focused on a good outcome. If you are honest and respectful with them, they are honest and respectful to you. The quality of their equipment is good, and getting better. A lot of people in my industry may disagree, but in many technical areas the Chinese are starting surpass anything coming out of the US and Europe.
我曾与中国公司合作过多个项目，我发现中国人很容易相处，他们工作效率高，沟通能力强，专注于取得好的成果。如果你对他们诚实和尊重，他们就对你诚实和尊重。他们的设备质量很好，而且越来越好。我所在行业的许多人可能不同意，但在许多技术领域，中国人正开始超越来自美国和欧洲的同业产品。
Plus they don’t tend to try to mix in other country’s affairs. Just my opinion…
此外，他们也不想插手其他国家的事务，以上只是我的看法，仅供参考…
