J+155 The Chinese point of view on the world

I find this is really interesting, the way Chinese people perceive foreigners, and foreign countries. No matter where someone comes from, he is immediately pointed out as a " 外国人" ; FOREIGNER, or "老外" in Nanjing dialect. Most of the time, that is enough! Because you see China has always considered itself as being the "centre of the world" ,＂ 中国＂(China) > 中= middle ; 国= country
Basically, there are two kinds of people, 中国人（Chinese) and.. The others! 外国人！
Whereas in our countries, being American or Italian makes a hell of a difference!
Not to Chinese people. We are "the others" ...
