Chinese Chinese

My Question: So how does the Chinese in China view the Chinese who grew up in other parts of the world (i.e ME)?

Answer: The difference lies in whether you can speak Chinese ... or not. If you can speak the language, then there is no difference.

*oh* ...and so I sprouted my usual nonsense...

Me: Right! Ok! I will polish up my Chinese so that the next time we meet, we will converse in Chinese!
