Associating China with dragons seems like such a lucky PR win to me. How many countries are, outside of that country, associated with any mascot at all, let alone such a badass one?

Also it seems appropriate that the Western concept of a dragon is much less friendly than the Chinese one -- at least, judging from the dances.

Only one that comes to mind is the american eagle lmao

The Welsh have their own dragon (on their flag)

This was the reason for Dragon computers btw.

Chinese dragon = snake with four legs. It can fly (magically). Western dragon = dino with wings. It can fly.

They're unrelated things. A Chinese dragon is more like a unicorn than a western dragon.

don't both of them breathe fire, though?

In chinese mythology, long are also control for rain.
