除了该项目，当今时代，美国大多数普通民众一般通过何种渠道来了解中国？
可能最常见的方式就是走进商店，当他们查看他们要买的东西时，发现它是“中国制造”。但是我想，有必要把美国政府和美国民众区分来看，美国国家安全委员会与联邦政府的政策，和美国民众的想法，是有差别的。我想大部分政府以外的美国民众听说过发生在中国一些大事，或者听说过中国文化的某些方面。但是同时，有趣的是，美国民众对中国人并没有特别的种族敌视，和对非洲裔、西班牙裔美国人非常不同。所以多种因素共同作用形成了一个有趣的局面，如果你和一个典型美国人谈论中国，他们并不会把敌意和中国联系起来，但是当你和美国政府打交道，你会看到它对于中国的敌视，这就引起了很多问题。

Well, probably the most common way they learn about China is they go into a store and they look at something they are gonna buy, and it’s made in China. But I think the most people learn outside of Washington, and one always has to distinguish what’s going on in national security and Washington policy, and what’s going on among the American people. I think they hear about in terms of occasional crises, or they hear about aspects of the Chinese culture. But I think at the same time, there is not, interestingly enough, a particular racial animosity in the US towards Chinese Americans, it’s very different situation with African Americans and Hispanics. So you have an interesting constellation of factors here, where there is not, in enough itself, if you were to talk to a typical American, whatever that is, about China hostility, but when you get into political issues, then you start getting certain kinds of responses, and those cause more problems.
