@RandomGuy-ghs Inaccurate assessment about Chinese philosophy also. Learn about Chinese pragmatism, learn about "seek truth from facts" from Deng Xiaoping. China is result driven to an extent but not without principles and goals. Again, very outdated view of post industrialisation/modern China. Making assumptions without visiting the country for at least 6 month is what you are doing here, you are essentially spewing misinformation.

@RandomGuy-ghs Check statistics how many Chinese have been either sent to the West/abroad (by their school/institutions or paid on their own) to study and travelled on tourism to the West (and most come back), you will know how wrong you are

@RandomGuy-ghs As a Chinese, I can tell you, your assessment of China and Chinese people are completely wrong, but nothing surprising considering how brainwashed and ignorant Western population are about China/Chinese people/Chinese culture. I don't have time now to go into details about how very wrong you are, but I can tell you, Chinese all the way from governmental level, academics to business class and ordinary Chinese, they understand the US/West WAY better than your Western equivalents about China. And it is precisely because of these understandings, China is surpassing the US/West. And it is because your ignorance and arrogance (displayed here) you are falling behind. China is way sophisticated and advanced than the West can ever care to understand.

@taxtard3 During ancient China prior to 1800s when it suffered (military) aggression and humiliation by Western powers, China viewed the West (Europeans) as uncivilised barbarian cultures, China was quite arrogant back then (especially during Qing dynasty 1600s-1900s), it was very reluctant to trade with the British/Europeans, as it thought they produced nothing of interest for the Chinese to trade in return, whereas China could almost produce everything its people needed from within (as a result, there was huge trade deficit between China and the West). But after Qing China lost two wars (1st and 2nd Opium War) to the British (plus a war with Imperial Japan) and fell into a semi colonised country, China for a while admired the science (mostly industrialisation) and social advance of the West, and during those few decades China wanted to follow/experiment with Western economic and political systems (between 1900s to 1940s), though unsuccessful because China simply didn't have condition to implement these Western systems. But Western aggression (the Korean War) once again made the Chinese realise what the West has always been about, a colonialist/imperialist power that exploits and brutalises poor and defenceless nations. So the poor led Communist movement developed and its leader Mao wanted China to rapidly develop/industrialise, which China did (1950s -1970s), it set a foundation for further industrialisation from 1980s when the US started to invest and work with China (for the purpose of defeating Soviet Union in the Cold War). Deng embraced a part Capitalist market economy stressing he wanted the rich few to lead economic prosperity for China. And now 40 years later, China has achieved the status of 2nd largest economy in the world (through working closely with the US/West). Even though most Chinese during this period have hold largely favourable views towards the US/West, they still very much remember and understand all the West has been doing is trying to convert China to be one day like the West. So because of this reason, China is always cautious of West's intentions. What I can tell you is that, Chinese people value sovereignty/independence (both economically and politically) above all else, and so far they have done very well. The Chinese will never become like the West, which is a good thing. Furthermore, due the recent tech sanctions and the contain China rhetoric from the US/West, there is an increasing anti West sentiments, but in general no hatred towards the West/Westerners in the Chinese population.
