The Chinese system has a sense of belonging and unity built-in, around which the people can rally with PRIDE, particularly when their system is rising to the top. Humans back a winner, not who has the loftiest ideals. Pragmatism reigns, and as individuals, people simply feel small and weak (regardless of their natural potential). Everyone is a collectivist at some level (even if it's just family); it's just bad collectivism vs. good "cohesive" collectivism.
