@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.
