I am with the Americans and not with his Chinese barbarians the things that I saw on the net about their "culture" would make vomit the strongest men on earth.
Respectfully, what you read on the internet about Chinese culture being “barbarian” is often just a “bizarro world” projection of the West’s own barbarism. When China fought the West to stop the Opium trade, even then it was China that was called “barbarian.” Their ancient culture is different, much less individualistic, but hardly “barbarian.” Of course China’s political system is also much more authoritarian and bureaucratic than our own — maybe that is what you find repulsive? China does not argue that the West should adopt its system, however. It knows full well that is impossible.
