It’s summer 2013. I decide to go to a hairdresser in Shenzhen.
The employee who is washing my hair asks, “Are you from the US?”
“No, I’m from Europe.”
“I see. Americans like to fight. They like to go to war with other countries.”
Do you think that this is a popular view of Americans in China?
This is part of the series ‘Conversations with Locals in China,’ where I share conversations with Chinese people on my blog.
