There was a time not so way back in China when something American was mechanically seen as higher. Within the Nineteen Nineties, weddings have been held at a McDonald’s close to Beijing’s Tiananmen Sq.. By the 2000s, Nike sneakers, iPhones and dates at Pizza Hut have been the badges of middle-class achievement.
America, which is named “Meiguo” or “stunning nation” in Chinese language, was the bastion of wealth and ease. Even the moon hung bigger in the US than in China, folks used to joke.
