Your students have better critical thinking skills

After reading several your articles, I'm sorry to say that Prof. 's Chinese students have better critical thinking skills than the prof. herself! Her point is: if her students question her viewpoints on China, they don't have critical thinking skills and they're brainwashed. If they agree with her viewpoints, they are as smart as her American students. I found something wrong here. On one hand, an American prof. with very limited language skills and no in-depth knowledge of China claims that she knows what China should do better than Chinese. On the other hand, Chinese college students who have been living through Chinese culture since they were born and living through and experiening over 2 decades of China's transformation, the college students who's parents have taught them a lot about China's history, have their clear own ideas about Chinese history, including the Tienanmen incident AND Opium war, looting of China's royal palace, burning of China's royal gardens and many many horrible bullish crimes conducted by west powere when China WAS NOT ruled by a communist government. Chinese students obviously have a better historic perspective, perhaps due to their long history? They're not naive, or as this professor thinks, easily been brainwashed. With her biased viewpoints, can we say that HER students are being brainwahsed about another country?
