NYC and America are full of sinophiles. How else do you explain the popularity of Chinese restaurants, wanton soup, dim sum, etc.? 204.52.215.107 00:58, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That has nothing to do with sinophilia. That is called globalization - it's the same reason why there are thousands of McDonalds and KFCs in mainland China, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, etc. Also, sinophilia isn't necessarily negative, whereas many western scholars who show an interest in East Asian/Chinese culture can be considered to be a "sinophile," "japanophile," etc Intranetusa (talk) 16:29, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
