China is beating the West.

[Bogan]

The Chinese are beating the west, because they have a different culture to the Western
Judeo Christian culture which has instilled the concept of guilt for seeking self interest.

The Chinese think that this is nuts. Greed has always been good for the Chinese. They even worship Tsai Shen, the God of Wealth. Could you imagine the Chinese sticking a statue to their God of Wealth in Hyde Park, beside St Mary's cathedral?
Multiculturalism or no, Cardinal Pell would have a fit.

That self interest is the prime motivator in Chinese behaviour might be discerned by comparing the Japanese warrior to the Chinese warrior. In Japan, the warrior class was the finest sort of human being, who would willingly sacrifice his life for his Lord. The Chinese were more practical. Soldiers are just scum who can't find any other way of gaining employment. Which is why the Japanese kicked the shit out of the Chinese in WW2.

Central to Chinese self image is that they are a race apart. The Chinese believe in Evolution, but their version is different to what is accepted in the West. They accept that most humans evolved from homo erectus in Africa, but they maintain that the Chinese evolved separately in China from homo erectus. That is what is taught to their kids in their schools. The very thought that Chinese would have black ancestors is just too much for the Chinese.

The richest people on planet Earth are the "overseas Chinese". These Chinese are renowned for their intense nationalism in every country they live in. The only problem is, that they are intensely loyal to China. The USA has now experienced a string of "defections" from "Chinese Americans" in sensitive defence position to China. This involves technology in ICBM's, nuclear submarine design, genetics, and Stealth technologies.

While liberals in the West display their moral superiority by always being opposed to their nations (and their races) self interest, the Chinese take the opposite view. While western liberals want to destroy capitalism and create a socialist welfare state, the Chinese are just emerging from that debilitating condition and embracing the capitalism which once made the west strong.

That is why they are beating us.

I agree.

I don't think "the Chinese are beating the west" but they definitely have the Americans against the ropes. Most of "the west" consists of developed cultures that have been through the gauntlet of time. We don't regard the world as black & white as the uncultured Americans do. There's the crux of it. We understand that China is part of humanity. The Americans see the world in terms of "with us or against us" and so they cannot see beyond flat descriptions such as Capitalism, Socialism, and Communism, three political philosophies they do not understand in the first place but are content with brandishing them as though they are made of stone as has been instilled in them by US propaganda. The same goes with "Left" and "Right" that the US has managed to brainwash its population into believing are "Hard Left" and "Hard Right" with nothing in between.

China and the West (sans the US) will blend together and we will merge over time with the rest of the world. Eventually, we will live in harmony.
