This is not entirely accurate, except in those same countries that appear in the US's collective conscious (e.g. Russia, China). The news in my country, for example, does not have the luxury of focusing a lot on other countries -- we have enough things to deal with domestically. Although India and China do come up a lot because it is believed that we're at the center of a tug of war between those two nations.
- saagarjha 8y agoI don’t think I could name any provinces in China, but I’m sure many Chinese know about New York and California.
- hliyan 8y agoI think that has more to do with TV and Movies than news...
- umanwizard 8y agoYou’ve really never heard of Sichuan, Hunan, or Canton (aka Gaungdong) ?
- ghaff 8y agoI would have known those were regions of China (and cuisines). I would not have known with any certainty that they were actual provinces.
- saagarjha 8y agoDepends on how you ask. Yes, I’m aware that those are Chinese provinces, as in, if you had provided me a list of Chinese cities and provinces I could have probably picked those out, or associated them back to China if the task was to match a province to its country. But I don’t think I could produce any of these if I was asked to give the name of a Chinese province.
