I've had plenty of friends back home say to us...'so, how do you like living in Japan.' To which we answer...'uh, we live in China.' 'Oh, same difference.'
*sigh*
Apparently, this is also the case with CBS News, as it couldn't figure out which country was which in a recent posting on its website.
As a colleague told me when I shared this with her...'it would have been better if they confused the Chinese flag with the flag of Taiwan.' It would be tantamount to confusing the Union Jack with the French flag...
