>I missed the food festival last week, so I got to miss some guy utter the following:
“All the food in America is the same, everywhere you go, but in China, it’s different everywhere you go.”
What a load of shit. Of course, whether the guy above really believes this or not is irrelevant. What matters is that he’s only saying this because he believes it’s what the Chinese want to hear.
If you’re representing your country to interested students who trust you, then isn’t intentionally lying to them at an attempt to increase your own standing ethically wrong? Shouldn’t you acknowledge their trust by being truthful rather than abusing it?
