旅人木日記またはベセスダの回想

>実際にフランス人と接触して見ますと、時々中国人ほどではないと思いました。

Yes, it is.
I agree.

I am not one to romanticise the French but I like the French very much.
I am just thinking of the differences between the Chinese and the French.

Don't you think that the French work out their own ideas and let other people behave in the way that people want to and not criticize people for behaving differently from them ?
