:) You sound like my father - he didn't like to hear the word "culture" used in the way I'm using it. To him it had a positive implication, something more like what is conveyed by the word "cultured". I'm using it to refer to "popular culture", in particular the kinds of cultural products that people buy, watch and listen to, and are presumably influenced by. Hollywood epitomises what I'm referring to. I think Peru is probably quite a good example of how little Chinese popular culture is having an influence outside China. By the way, an example of the influence of US "culture" is the spread of Halloween. This was unknown in NZ when I was growing up, but the practice of festooning houses with lights and horrible plastic crap is spreading there now, and I just saw some buildings here showing that the infection has reached here. Yes, I know it's an ancient European thing, but it had pretty much died out in the English-speaking world until it was revived and commercialised in the US.
