Q: What do Chinese people think of the Irish?
In light of St. Paddy's Day tomorrow I thought I'd ask.
They do not think of the Irish or any other country, but only of themselves. Most Chinese would not even know where Ireland is located.
Are there many posters at e-Titties from China? Strange, I didn't spot that, yet.
'No surrender' is very popular Irish greeting.
I'm not sure, if Chinese can understand, why Irish like to spell that in the mornings. 
I miss Siobhan McK., beautiful Irish girl from Belfast I knew in Ft. Lauderdale.
I miss Florida too and all Irish & Scottish diaspora there.
You don't want to know how Irish in USA introduced me to the other Irish&Brits there.
"He is 'my name', he's from S-RA (last two capitals stand for Republican Army)
".....
It was joke, of course. I came from my mom.
Hotwater:
And I'm sure you know that if you shouted "No surrender" at the majority of Irish you'd end up with no front teeth!

No Hot, I didn't shout that anywhere, but they (Irish&Scotts) did shout it in USA in three different states, in other words 'many of them'.
I've never been to Ireland, and most of my knowledge about that part of the world comes from USA.
I was aiming here at the OP and whole thread. Sorry!
Pretty damned sure my Chinese wife loves this little Leprauchaun
yes, a "murphy's irish red" would be a good breakfast tomorrow.
They do not think of the Irish or any other country, but only of themselves. Most Chinese would not even know where Ireland is located.
Every chinese person I have asked says the same thing, the irish are a bunch of poofs who can't take a punch.
their words not mine, I would never use that kind of language
I had a girlfriend 7 or 8 years ago who was totally obsessed with the Irish. She settled for me being English thinking it was close enough. When I asked her why, she would go on at great length about the accent and some soppy romantic film that was set in Ireland (can't remember the name). She used this film to form the opinion that all Irish people have beautiful accents and are ultra romantic.
We were never serious and didn't last long but still keep in touch. Remarkably she is now married to an Irish guy with 2 kids already.
I'm always hearing the chinese tell the same old tired joke, "what do you call a fairy who is on the floor after one drink? An Irishman!"
God you know...you would think they would show a bit more cultural sensitivity!

A man’s discovery of bones under his pub could forever change what we know about the Irish

Irish even if they talk about T-rex, they can't never exclude word 'pub'....I won't say anymore.....
The stereotype:
"Ireland is a little country in England with lots of wars and people kill each other".
