US professor sets out to fight anti-China rhetoric, challenge prevailing narratives
China DailyStephen Roddy, a professor of languages, literatures and cultures at the University of San Francisco, says he had the opportunity to talk to locals during his travels in China. Openness, realism That openness and realism, Roddy believes, is a "great attitude" and one of China's greatest strengths. "China is indeed in the process, I think, of really developing an interesting new kind of multiculturalism," he said, encouraging others to look beyond surface-level assessments and engage more deeply with China's diverse cultural realities. He pointed to the US "weapons industry", which is "profiting enormously from all of their money that's going into these weapons that are supposedly preventing China from taking us over". And that is why the US people need to see the PBS documentary, which documented China's efforts to lift 800 million people out of poverty in the past four decades, said Roddy.
