How do you compare Japan and China? How does your origin affect your perception? Not only your cultural background, but also your social circumstances, culture and upbringing, political system of your home country, perhaps religious beliefs or lack of them? I was born in catholic Poland under the communist regime, which ended the same time (1989) I moved to China, another communist state. I was only a high school graduate back then, so I like to say that I actually grew up in China. As I have spent there my early youth, I have a strong sentimental attachment to the place, thus my opinions might be biased.
