Chinese influences in Anime

Just as much as Chinese has everything to do with the Japanese, in the fact that they descended from China, so does their culture as well:

In a game called: "Street Fighter II" made by Capcom, a Japanese video-game industry, it features a character named Chun-Li: a super cute Chinese girl who works as a detective for the International Crime-Prevention League.



Notice how they portray a Chinese Woman as elegant, cute, pretty, and innocent-looking. I guess that's how you may see a modern Chinese-girl even today in China, whether you would consider her "westernized" is totally up to you. I think Chun-Li should be a model in the Cosmopolitan series because she's so used to both the customs of the United States and China.
