This is really silly, but it's not surprising that you would say that,
given your view that China and the United States are the same or, as
you put it, "two peas in a pod."
I've spent thousands of hours researching China's history, and how
over two millennia the culture has developed its belief that the
Chinese ("yellow race, black hair, brown eyes, yellow skin") are the
superior master race and why they're totally contemptuous of us and
our laws and our way of life because we're all barbarians.
Every Great Power tries to establish its right to rule in some cultural quality or in the ethnic origin of the people... if it comes to skin color, peoples of East Asian origin can have skin color indistinguishable from that of many Europeans. It may be ironic, but white racists burn themselves on their own petards when they argue that racial superiority is based on paleness of skin (North Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese are easy to distinguish from peoples of north-European origin in many ways, but not in skin color) and difference from African populations. Europeans are basically East Africans bleached out and are genetically far closer to West Africans (the most derided of people in white racist literature except perhaps for Jews) than are East Asians, American First Peoples, and Australian Aborigines.
Chinese, Korean, and Japanese culture are easy to appreciate but difficult to crack. Linguistic difficulty? Fundamental differences of
cultural foundation? You describe racism in China... and you make it sound much like Japanese racism during World War II. That is not to say that racism does not exist in China, but that it is fairly similar.
A reality is that peoples of North China, Korea, and Japan score higher in IQ than white populations other than Jews... so I have had some encounters with white racists and asked them whether they are prepared to defer to their superiors...
Quote:So the reason that the CCP believe they can arrest and enslave a
million Uighurs, or violently attack Buddhists and Christians, or can
ignore their own signed agreements over Hong Kong, or can ignore
international law in the South China Sea, or can steal intellectual
property or cheat on trade is because they believe that they've been
granted by the Kingdom of Heaven the right to do anything they want to
the barbarians. I can assure you that this has nothing to do with
multinational corporations or the toadies in the US government.
Without question that is a vile political order, and how long it can endure without collapsing of its own contradictions that it fails to resolve may decide much of this Crisis. Note well that the crackdown in Tienanmen Square was fully thirty years ago, when the freedom-seeking people were contemporaries of America's Generation X. People contemporary to the revolutionaries of 1989 are now roughly the age of the political elite, and they are scarred.
Obviously Chinese leaders have their own legacy of humiliation from the Opium Wars to the horrific Sino-Japanese struggles from 1931 to 1945 in which foreign powers attempted, in retrospect unsuccessfully, in partitioning China into spheres of influence (and exploitation) if not outright colonization. The colonial adventurers and overseas exploiters may be off the scene, but the legacy of national pain remains. Christianity was often seen as a fifth-column movement in ways in which it was not seen in Korea (it was part of modernity) or even Japan. Buddhism is very much a part of Chinese heritage, but it is contrary to a warrior ethos.
China has a long legacy of poor protection of intellectual property. Slavish imitation of cultural norms is part of the Chinese artistic tradition, explaining why much Chinese art is often inscribed "painted in the style of (older master)". It is as if I were to paint in much the same manner as Tomas Kincade (ha! ha!) or Norman Rockwell (probably gaining in respect now as his work becomes more a reflection of what America has lost) not with my name but instead with "painted in imitation of Norman Rockwell/Thomas Kincade". (I would love to have a blend of Picasso and Matisse, but it would still be "P. Brower" because it could not avoid having my personality and time attached).
Quote:Just as a murderer might justify his actions by blaming the way his
parents raised him, the CCP justifies its illegal atrocities by
referring to the Opium Wars and the "Century of Humiliation"
and the "Unequal Treaties." They ignore, for example, the massive
atrocities committed by Mao Zedong that brutally killed tens of
millions of Chinese in the horrific Great Leap Forward and
the disastrous Great Cultural Revolution.
But Mao Zedong was Chinese (which excuses much to many Chinese), and he did drive out the last vestiges of power of colonial adventurers and their exploitation and degradation of Chinese life.
Quote:If you'd like to understand what's really going on with China, rather
than ridiculous things like toadies in the US government, then read my
book:

Prepared" (Generational Theory Book Series, Book 2) Paperback: 331

If you actually want to know what's going on, then this will tell
you.
There are totalitarians in high places in American life, now largely on the Right (Marxism-Leninism is dead, and most left-wing radicals are post-Marxist), and they would love to imitate the dictatorial rule of China, establishing it in America in a controlled and inequitable order that well serves people who might have a different rationale of their culture.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
