You should have “illuminating lenses through which to view the People’s Republic of China”. I did not  understand what this meant at first, but  now I understand and I love the quote. Wasserstrom is right that people have a very skewed view of  China that are based of stereotypes and others popular opinions. People don’t think that the United States is anything like that  China, but this is not completely true the 2 countries are the same  in many ways. I thought he made an interesting point that people like to compare the 2 countries in terms of human rights and everyone talks about how bad China is. But, both countries have human rights struggles amongst the lower classes and they are the only 2 big countries left that still have the death penalty. Because the death penalty is such an inhumane punishment I think it is a good start to showing how  these 2 countries are more alike then people make  it seem.
