One disadvantage right now for China is English-speaking population because virtually all textbooks are written in Chinese in China including higher education. So to Chinese, they have to learn Chinese and English. However, I have seen this disadvantage shifting to advantage soon because there is a delay for non-Chinese readers that what Chinese are thinking and doing, in particular media, books and blogs etc. It means that many Chinese know things happening in the world, but only a few global elites who can read Chinese may know things happening in China. Unless there is a breakthrough in translation software. It's interesting to see this world 5 years from now and beyond...
One of the most important reasons western media had hard time to understand China [often underestimate China] is that very few people truly know the language and the 5000-year Chinese history and culture. I am determined to be the bridge between the US and China. The role of a matchmaker is to assist people of both cultures with historical evidence and provide options with cons and pros to people who have no knowledge about the cultural differences. In modern term, I provide people with value-added services. It is a part of important education.
