1. Expressing My Race Through Art
Certainly, evidence shows that the Chinese have incorporated some Westernized processes into their own culture, but little integration vice-versa has occurred. To be sure, the Western world has begun to acknowledge the validity of some Chinese traditional healing methods, i.e. acupuncture, but much remains to be endorsed by leaders in the fields of Western medicinal theory and application. However, some Western academicians argue that the integration of Chinese therapeutic practices with that of biomedicine (Western medicine) would greatly increase the ability of practitioners to effectively diagnose, treat, and even prevent many illnesses and bodily afflictions. The best way to understand this notion is to consider exactly what Chinese medicine entails and how its healing methods differ/relate to the biomedical field of Western science. .
More recently, especially since the Chinese adaptation of Western scientific investigation, researchers have begun to study traditional Chinese medicine through the eyes of its practitioners as it should be seen; not just mystical phenomena, but rather an artful expression of ideas and study generated over the course of 2000 years of development. Kaptchuk explains, "The essential ideas of Chinese medicine are not elaborate. many of these ideas exist in the deep cultural orientation and root intuitions of a unique civilization- (Kaptchuk, 2000). Chinese healing methods, in contrast to biomedicine, almost completely rely upon the tenets of holism, in conjunction with a philosophical belief in the metaphysical essences of Qi (pronounced as chee), and of Yin and Yang. According to Kaptchuk, "the notion of Qi is fundamental to Chinese culture and medical thought."" Qi is the corporeal and incorporeal, the microcosmic and macrocosmic essence that defines and delimits all functions throughout the universe. .
YinYang theory is the "underlying logic that assumes that a part can be understood only in its relation to the whole- (Katpchuk, 2000).

However, just like some of China's neighboring countries (such as South Korea) have developed a closer bond and consequently created a popular opinion showing China to be more highly regarded, some major powers, such as the U.S, have shown skepticism towards China's so-called 'peaceful rise ' (Sutter, 2004, p.284). ...
