<too bad, this may sounds a shock to you<g> Chinese history are NOT written by your guys! Chinese history was, has been, will be written by Chinese!>

Actually Yiwu, you are wrong. Chinese history is written by lots of people. I've been writing it too. Check out what they use for cyberphones, for example. Refugees from China have fled to New Zealand, for example. My grandparents were writing history in Dalian, for example. My mother was born there. For example.

China is just a little bit of a big world. Only 1.3bn people... pfft... There are 6 billion of us.

It's funny reading your stuff. You sound like one of the more rabidly jingoistic Americans, who think the whole world is in thrall to the USA.

It's a small world Yiwu. It's increasingly integrated. China is just another cog in the machine. Nowhere writes its own history these days.

Yiwu,

In my country we welcome the sense of perspective provided by foreign observers. A good example is this well-known French author, who is often quoted by Americans...

Alexis de Tocqueville
tocqueville.org

He visited the U.S. in 1831 and then wrote a famous book...

"Democracy in America"

Now that China has joined the WTO and is holding the Summer Olympics, you will find a lot more foreigners poking around China and writing stuff about it. I hope you learn to accept this. It's quite natural.

Yiwu,

Here's a Westerner writing living history about China (and charging for it)...
