Cultivation: Chinese Warned against Dating Foreigners

 A 16-panel comic book-style poster that's been widely displayed across Beijing tells the story of an attractive young female civil servant -- Xiao Li or "Little Li" --  who is wooed by a red-haired foreigner posing as a visiting scholar -- Dawei, or David. Here's how their story unfolds, according to a translation by <a href="http://chinalawtranslate.com/nsed/" target="_blank">China Law Translate</a>, checked by CNN.

This is a classic product of cultivation. China's government workers are warning their citizens not to date foreigners because they may be the next "James Bond". They came up with a comic book with the premise of an attractive visiting scholar that manipulates a chinese local girl into giving him internal government propaganda work. The campaign associated with this comic is national security awareness. The Chinese are adopting a pillar of supremacy and deeming Americans/Westerners the "other" and a "threat". The public is now vigilant with newcomers and visitors; their foreign experience may be more alienating now than integrative.
