@Soon Kwek i actually lived in Thailand for 6 years and rotated my time between Philippines, Laos, Singapore and China and by my observation people are generally happier and have a much better soul compared to China. So be more concerned for yourself and less concerned of others. " We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." Thomas Jefferson. In words you can understand it is my business because by being a dick to your own people you made it my business. Don't like it then try leaving your fellow citizens alone so it doesn't have to be my business.

So according to you culture and living by virtue is worthless? So then why is it the United States, whom at that very time you were talking about, not only fought back but actually beat the Japanese? Not only beat them but also showed mercy after they had surrendered, after all they had already surrendered so what point was there in punishing them further when they already realized their foolishness, they had retained their own traditions and self-respect. See to you they are superstitions which show weakness and stupidity, but it doesn't change the fact that it brings out those virtues which all people recognize. That Thomas Aquinas calls the 4 cardinal virtues of Justice, Fortitude, Prudence, and Temperance. Or as CS Lewis writes it, Straight Dealing, Love of Kindred, Pity, and Shame. Doesn't strike you as odd that regardless of ideology, religion, and as you put it superstition everyone without exception recognizes Justice? And everyone in that war fought based on this one virtue. So, if superstitions bring about weakness and stupidity then explain this phenomenon that is most associated with religion? Why, is it that according to you the whole world shouldn't have cared what Japan was doing but based on what you call superstitions they acted in the name of Justice following a tradition going back to the Old Testament that is based on this one virtue? Perhaps you want to see it as weakness because it makes it easy to attack the virtuous and the traditional but regardless if it wasn't for these specific traditions that every culture recognizes the Chinese People would most likely be extinct you included.

@HiDefHDMusic Have you even looked at capitalistic countries? It has it's flaws but it's not coincidental that capitalistic countries flourish and Communistic countries failed. To start, Abraham Lincoln in a speech he gave defined slavery this way he said, "You make toil, you plant the fields, and you make bread and I will eat it." The relevance of that statement is that the benefit of a capitalist system is that you reap the fruit of your own labor this also means it encourages and even provides means of entrepreneurship which allows a given craft, let's say food production for example, to be perfected. Why? Because the laborer is reaping whatever he puts in. If he puts in everything he gets everything he puts in nothing he gets nothing. Communist systems want to be the entrepreneur not the laborer. Proof of this? Who is it that lives in the big houses, rides in limos, enjoys the high class status and so on? It certainly isn't the laborer. In fact the Chinese laborers biggest complaint is being overworked with barely enough pay to get by in China's current economy. And how many have actually been credited for some discovery, or innovation, or even making better a particular craft that isn't a party member? I sure as heck can't find 1 and why would they when there is no incentive for them to do so. They are just happy to have a job and a roof over their heads. Who is reaping the fruits of their labor? The State is. According to Abraham Lincoln who fought a war to end slavery and passed the 13th amendment to abolish slavery that is the very definition of slavery. Is Capitalism perfect? Of course not but then again no manmade thing ever is but compared to communism and fascism it gives the best incentive for ones labor.
