In “The Danger of a Single Story” by Chimamanda Adichie, she states that one reason that single stories less happened on Americans is “because of America’s cultural and economic power.” I agree with this thought by looking at Chinese history. Qing Dynasty government closed shorelines and ports in order to maintain its stable national economy at the end of 18th century. However, this movement did not help increase national finance, instead, interrupted and prevented the development of Chinese economy. The connection and communication between Chinese and other cultures were also cut off. Therefore, China was drew back way behind other countries; the level of economy and technology and the time of being modern society went back hundreds of years.
