How Much Do Chinese Know About the World?

Chinese people, when asked questions in the street, do not seem to know that much. They appear to be as bad as Americans, but with better humour. Rather strangely, they did know 9/11 was New York, but someone thought the capital of the US was Boston.

The person who thought China fought Vietnam in the Vietnam War was nearly right as China did invade Vietnam soon after the Vietnam War ended. But so many thinking India was in Africa was really unforgiveable. I laughed at how often England got a mention; their soft power is clearly still evident.
