US Chinese food vs Real Chinese food

I've hear people that were born in China and come to the US to try our Chinese restaurants say that they're very different compared to the food that's actually served in China. 

Can someone explain the differences in our perception of Chinese food and what's actually over there?

lemme guess, you only eat authentic ancient recipes because anything else wouldn't be trendy

No, Americanized Chinese food is just way too bland for my tastes. Restaurants have to dumb cuisine down for the stupid old lady who wants to order the dish that has "hot" and "spicy" written all over it.

i like chinese food veeeery much

I have chicken wattle recipe to knock off socks!  Both socks!

It's gai lan, not kai lan.

If you've ever gone for dim dum that is essentially what Chinese people eat every day.
