Tell them something about your culture

This is maybe a more personal issue, but I love learning about Chinese culture. If you can tell me some stories of your country, or explain some things to me, I will be so happy to listen. One example would be the Diaoyu Islands. I asked someone why they were Chinese and my Chinese friend replied "because they just are". Rather than giving such a simple answer, understand your own history. Tell me instead that the Diaoyu Islands are China's because the US and Japan signed a treaty without China being present, therefore making the treaty illegal. If you tell me like this, I will be interested more in China, and in your own knowledge.
