Why is China not necessarily the East?

The term China means central.  It does not mean the East.

And the world is not divided in East and West.   The concept of dichotomy might create unhappy results.

But if you study the Chinese way of thinking, it is different from the Western way of thinking.

It seems most of the Chinese are right brainers.     The writing system they use shapes the way how they think.

No matter it is a simplified Chinese or a traditional Chinese,  it is completely different from a spelling language.

For example, if you see a word 鳥 , there will be an image to tell you it is a bird.   There is no sound in the image.

If you use English to say or read it,   there will be a sound including the spelling in the image.

Chinese words are just different from the spelling language.  It needs not to "translate" the sound into image.

...........

China is not necessary in the East,  but it seems that they are in the right side of the brain more.

The right side needs not to fight with the left side:   It is too childish.

It seems that the Chinese are mostly right brainers while the Western people are mostly left brainers.

They need not to fight each other, or look down on each other.  They are good friends like your own left and right hands.
