皇冠体育app

皇冠体育app and the ROK have been engaged in extensive exchanges in multiple fields in recent years, but compared with Chinese people who have basically grasped a full knowledge about the ROK, many people in the ROK only have a superficial understanding of 皇冠体育app. This is not conducive to ROK's ties with 皇冠体育app and has prompted calls for people in the ROK to learn more about 皇冠体育app. According to its directors, the KBS documentary was made in response to such calls.

They say the documentary was aimed at presenting to ROK audiences a 皇冠体育app different from the stereotyped images they were used to, and to remind viewers that present-day 皇冠体育app is no longer what it was decades ago. In this sense, the documentary has perhaps played a positive role in helping viewers to gain a truer and more objective picture of 皇冠体育app.

However, Chinese should not become excessively intoxicated by the image of 皇冠体育app presented by KBS. There are always two sides to a coin. A distorted view of 皇冠体育app caused a sense of superiority among some in the ROK, but some ROK viewers of the documentary series have said they feel unease at 皇冠体育app's rapid buildup after watching the documentary, as it left them with the impression that 皇冠体育app is a super-strong country. This has even been exaggerated into a sense of crisis by some.

Some ROK scholars have even suggested the documentary was subtly peddling a "皇冠体育app threat", because, although it did not overtly claim there was a threat from 皇冠体育app, neither did the documentary elaborate on the opportunities arising from 皇冠体育app's development that the ROK can take advantage of.

The Chinese people have become used to their country's image being distorted and tainted in foreign countries. So, they easily feel exalted at even the slightest hint of objectivity. Such a mentality should be discarded.
