Even as Traditional Chinese Culture spreads around the world and more people become interested in Chinese, foreign culture and concepts have begun to spread into China. This is inevitable as development is increasing communication and integration. More and more foreigners are studying Chinese and great masses of Chinese people are studying English in order to aid this goal of communication. Yet, even popular cultural aspects have begun to spread as well. Chinese people are beginning to celebrate such Western holidays as Christmas and Valentine's Day. Western food, especially fast food establishments like McDonald's and KFC have become popular. This can be contrasted with growth of interest in Chinese culture abroad. Chinese food is a phenomenon on its own as can be seen in the growth of such restaurants in North America and Europe. A large part of this expansion into areas outside of Asia is due to the immigration of Chinese people that has gone on for centuries. China Towns in San Francisco, New York, and London have provided gateways from which Chinese culture has been able to spread. This had increased as business with China has expanded and international ties are forged. It is through cultural communication and integration that we learn from each other and grow closer.

尽管中国的传统文化在全世界传播，有越来越多的人对中国感兴趣，外国文化和理念也已经开始传入中国。发展对交流和融合的促进作用使之成为必然。有越来越多的外国人在学习汉语，也有大量的中国人在学习英语，以达到交流的目的。目前，流行文化因素甚至也开始传播。中国人也开始庆祝一些西方节日，比如圣诞节和情人节。西方食物，尤其是快餐食品，诸如麦当劳和肯德基，已经在中国流行开来。这与国外对中国文化的兴趣与日俱增形成对照。中餐本身就是一种流行现象，这从北美和欧洲中餐馆的增长就可见一斑。这种向亚洲以外的地区扩张的一个主要原因是几个世纪以来中国人不断地向外移民。旧金山、纽约和伦敦的唐人街已成为中国文化得以传播的窗口。随着中国贸易范围的扩大和国际关系的建立，中国文化的传播也在增加。正是通过这种文化的交流和融合，我们才得以互相学习，增进关系。
