Even as Traditional Chinese Culture spreads around the world and more people become interested in Chinese, foreign culture and concepts have begun to spread into China. This is inevitable as development is increasing communication and integration. More and more foreigners are studying Chinese and great masses of Chinese people are studying English in order to aid this goal of communication. Yet, even popular cultural aspects have begun to spread as well. Chinese people are beginning to celebrate such Western holidays as Christmas and Valentine's Day. Western food, especially fast food establishments like McDonald's and KFC have become popular. This can be contrasted with growth of interest in Chinese culture abroad. Chinese food is a phenomenon on its own as can be seen in the growth of such restaurants in North America and Europe. A large part of this expansion into areas outside of Asia is due to the immigration of Chinese people that has gone on for centuries. China Towns in San Francisco, New York, and London have provided gateways from which Chinese culture has been able to spread. This had increased as business with China has expanded and international ties are forged. It is through cultural communication and integration that we learn from each other and grow closer.

盡管中國(guó)的傳統(tǒng)文化在全世界傳播，有越來越多的人對(duì)中國(guó)感興趣，外國(guó)文化和理念也已經(jīng)開始傳入中國(guó)。發(fā)展對(duì)交流和融合的促進(jìn)作用使之成為必然。有越來越多的外國(guó)人在學(xué)習(xí)漢語，也有大量的中國(guó)人在學(xué)習(xí)英語，以達(dá)到交流的目的。目前，流行文化因素甚至也開始傳播。中國(guó)人也開始慶祝一些西方節(jié)日，比如圣誕節(jié)和情人節(jié)。西方食物，尤其是快餐食品，諸如麥當(dāng)勞和肯德基，已經(jīng)在中國(guó)流行開來。這與國(guó)外對(duì)中國(guó)文化的興趣與日俱增形成對(duì)照。中餐本身就是一種流行現(xiàn)象，這從北美和歐洲中餐館的增長(zhǎng)就可見一斑。這種向亞洲以外的地區(qū)擴(kuò)張的一個(gè)主要原因是幾個(gè)世紀(jì)以來中國(guó)人不斷地向外移民。舊金山、紐約和倫敦的唐人街已成為中國(guó)文化得以傳播的窗口。隨著中國(guó)貿(mào)易范圍的擴(kuò)大和國(guó)際關(guān)系的建立，中國(guó)文化的傳播也在增加。正是通過這種文化的交流和融合，我們才得以互相學(xué)習(xí)，增進(jìn)關(guān)系。
