I was born in the US, but my parents are both from China, so I could count as Chinese.
And guess what? I'm not good at a lot of things.
Here is a quick list of some things I'm not good at:
我出生在美國，爸媽來自中國，我算是中國人？我不擅長的很多。以下：
Complicated math problems
Any instrument other than piano or violin
SINGING
Push-ups
Pull-ups
Sprinting
Sprinting while swimming
Breathing underwater
Public speaking
Doing hair
Talking underwater
Holding my breath for a long time
Speaking in a language other than English or Chinese (Mandarin)
Keeping track of my glasses
Any sport other than Taekwondo or swimming
….and the list goes on…
做不來複雜的數學題；除了會彈鋼琴和小提琴之外，其他樂器都不會；
不會唱歌；不會俯臥撐，不會引體向上；跑不快、不會水下呼吸；
不擅長演講、不會做頭髮、不會在水下長時間憋氣；
說除了英語和中文以外的語言；
除了跆拳道和游泳之外，不擅長其他運動。
等等。
My point here is that everyone is different. We all have things we are good at and things we are bad at.
You can’t automatically say that all Chinese people are not good at some things or are all good at another thing.
Sure, the Chinese education system might emphasize certain subjects more than other countries (for example, my parents are really good at math) but that doesn't mean all Chinese people are good at math.
Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses.
我認為每個人都存在差異，都有自己擅長和不擅長的方面。
你不能說一概而論地說哪些是中國人不擅長的，也不能籠統地說哪些是中國人擅長的。
對，中國教育體系或許比其他國家更強調某些學科，例如我爸媽的數學就很厲害，但並不是說每個中國人的數學都學得好。
每個人各有長短。

Baking. When I was in China, I sometimes baked cookies or other treats for my friends. They generally loved them and often asked how to make them, but were dismayed when they found out you needed an oven for the job. Most people didn't own one.
Speaking English fluently. Please, no one get offended here. Lots of people in China speak a little English, and some speak a lot. To encounter someone fluent was very rare, though, even in Shanghai, their most international city. The languages are just too different. But the Chinese do speak English a heck of a lot better than Americans speak Chinese.
1、烘焙。我住中國時，有時候會為朋友烤餅乾之類的東西。中國人一般很喜歡吃，不停地問我怎麼做的，他們發現需要烤箱時，就失望了。大多數中國人沒有烤箱。
2、說不來流利的英語。很多中國人會一點英語，不過英語說得流利的人很少，即使是在國際都市上海。
不過，中國人說英語要比美國人說中文好多了。
Thinking “outside the box.” Their entire language and education system revolves around memorization. It does not stress creativity. When I found myself in a situation where I needed to “think like a boy scout” and substitute an object for something other than its intended use (just an example), my friends expressed awe at my creativity. I mean, *humble face* maybe I AM creative, but they're just generally not taught to think like that from a young age. It doesn't mean they can't learn to.
Telling you you’ve gained weight without actually saying it. Yeah, no. They will just tell you :)
3、創造性思維不足。中國的整個語言和教育體系都以死記硬背為中心。不強調創造力。當我發現自己身處要“像童子軍一樣思考”的環境中，用其他事物替代預期對象時，我朋友都敬畏我的創造力。我指的是，我可能有創造力。中國人從小通常不被培養這樣的創造思維。這並不是說他們學不會。
4、中國人一般不會委婉地告訴你超重了。對，他們不委婉，會直接告訴你。

Chinese are terrible at men’s soccer. Chinese failing at men’s soccer is legendary, and even Chinese don’t understand why Chinese men can’t play soccer.
It is not like Chinese are inherently bad at playing sports, as demonstrated by Chinese dominance in the Olympics and Chinese women’s soccer is pretty good, but Chinese men’s soccer is just plain terrible in spite of billions of dollars dumped into Chinese Super League each year.
Why is the Chinese National Soccer Team so Bad?
男足。中國男足的失敗算得上神奇了，連中國人都不懂為什麼中國男人踢不好足球。
中國人也不是不擅長體育，他們在奧運會上占主導地位，女足踢得也不錯。但男足表現非常糟糕，即使每年數十億美元投入中超。
為什麼中國足球國家隊的水平這麼糟糕
