potatoes are one of the few foods you can eat exclusively and survive for long periods of time

if by westerners you mean english speakers, then yes, it's known to be one of the more difficult ones. it's ultimately subjective, but what people find hard about mandarin is 1.the writing system 2.tones

what also doesn't help is definitely lack of exposure, chinese popular media isn't very popular in the west
