Earlier this year, Chinese President Xi Jinping stated that he was comfortable with allowing the country's rate of economic growth to slow. As of 2012, the Communist Party of China has also written into its constitution the need for the "establishment of ecological civilization."

今年早些时候，中国国家主义XJP指出“国家经济发展适度放缓是可以接受的”。 早在2012年， GCD在国家宪法里也写到“建立生态文明”是非常重要的。

Talk is cheap, but Xi backed up these words by agreeing to a historic climate deal with the U.S. that will require China to make massive economic changes in order to move away from the coal that currently supplies 80 percent of its electricity. Even a relatively seamless transition will likely reduce China's GDP growth, a tradeoff Xi has publicly stated his government will make if necessary. These are not the actions of a government concerned only with material accumulation.

说空话每个人都可以， 但是XJP通过答应与美国签订历史性的气候条约来支持他的言论。（根据条约）中国经济将会作出大规模转型来淘汰煤矿，目前中国80%的发电都是火力发电。 尽管这种转型会进一步降低中国的gdp增长， XJP也向全国致辞说他和中国zf认为这是必要的权衡。如果一个zf单纯的把目光放在物质积累上，那么以上都是不可能会发生的事情。

By numbers alone, China may very well be the most religious country on earth. Much the same is true when it comes to more secular cultural measurements. China graduated 3 million undergraduate students in 2012, almost 25 percent of whom studied either literature, philosophy, history or education. Beijing has the second largest number of museums of any city in the world, with 159, more than New York with 113. The number of people employed in the performing arts in China is 250,000 according to National Bureau of Statistics, nearly twice the number in the United States. Then there is female participation in the labor force, which at 64 percent is far higher than Japan's 48 and India's 29 percent. And when it comes to law and order, which are surely part of a country's culture, China compares extremely well with other nations. China has a lower homicide rate (1 per hundred thousand population per year) than the United States (4.7) and a far lower rate than fellow BRIC economy Brazil (25.2) despite a much lower GDP per capita.

单纯数据来说，中国也是这个世界上宗教最为活跃的国家。从文化世俗化的标准来说，同样如此。在2012年，中国有300万本科生毕业， 其中25%的专业是文学，哲学，历史以及教育学。北京市内的博物馆数量，159座，是全世界第二多的，高于纽约市的113座。根据国家统计局数据，中国有25万人从事表现艺术，这个数目是美国的两倍。中国妇女就业率的数字是64%， 远高于日本的48%以及印度的29%。说到法治（这肯定是一国文化的一部分），中国的治安远好于其他国家。中国的谋杀率（1/100000/年）低于美国（4.7/100000/年），且在人均gdp有所逊色的前提下，远低于同为金砖四国之一的巴西（25.2/100000/年）。

The truth is the narrative of a valueless China is one that has been constructed by a group of commentators -- some of whom have only a superficial understanding of the country they are critiquing -- with an ideological axe to grind. The China they know is the China they deliberately seek out, one of unruly tourists and undeserving "princelings." This side of China does exist, but it does not even come close to being representative of the lives of the majority of Chinese, and it is not the side that has been and will continue to change the world.

因此， 事实就是，”毫无价值的中国“仅仅是由一些评论员因意识形态不同而构建起来的偏见论调。他们对他们所批评的中国除了肤浅的理解之外一无所知。他们眼中的中国完全是他们有意识的选择出来的：粗鲁的中国游客，饱食终日的官二代。不可否认的是，中国确实存在这些方面，但是这远不能代表所有中国人，这也不是中国正在并将持续改变世界的正能量。

It is true, for instance, that the Chinese do not make the most well-behaved of tourists. But while a widely reported 2012 poll found the Chinese to be the second-worst tourists in the world, the top spot went to Americans.

目前来看， 中国游客确实不是最彬彬有礼的。但是2012年一份被广为报道的民意调查发现中国游客是第二最不受欢迎的，排在第一的是美国游客。
