Srdjaja Trifkovic in Chronicles (aug 2021) wrote this of the Chinese: “Unlike the Western tradition, China does not treat the individual endowed by natural rights, as the key building block of good harmonious polity. It gives absolute primacy to the family, the community, the Han ethnicity, and the State. It does not see diversity as strength but as a self evident weakness to be exploited. Accordingly, China does not accept immigrants and asylum seekers...It shares an essentially conservative consensus on gender roles, marriage, family, local community, and the nation. It continues to uphold the hierarchical order in a competitive, merit-based society: good grades, loyalty to the state, and hard work will be rewarded...”
Unless a miracle occurs comparable to Trump's 2016 election China may rule the future.
