Comment on "Everyone's a diplomat in global village" (China Daily, Jan 26)

I think this is one of the best opinion pieces I have read in a long time both in the Western and Chinese media. Its points are spot-on, and I think that if people in all countries take more time to learn about the other then they can better understand each other, build more dialogue and ultimately establish better relations, as the article says.

Hopefully more people will read the article and start doing the same.
