I think you are believing humans are all identical.
Chinese are not Americans, on balance.
It could be they are more comfortable with a communist system. Maybe.
Maybe not. I have been in Taiwan, and they seem quite fond of freedom. But so does the mainland seem quite comfortable with their system.
What I am saying, is we are building up China. And NOT building up America at anywhere near the same rate. That is a HUGE problem. China is growing, and growing, and growing. We are standing still, basically.
For over one entire generation now.
That needs to change, in my view.
But everyone, seems completely to be on board with building up China.
Everyone.
God built an identical core into humanity. But men have pursued many schemes.
Redemption happens but one way: the willingly accepted work of a suffering Savior.
Notice too that as much as Chinese government wants a closed society, in practice the activities of merchants make it difficult. China has churches for foreigners that don’t have to carry on with a secularized state message, but keeping the message entirely out of larger China is a vain pursuit. Religious themed items produced in China have a similar effect. China is being influenced by the very west that its doctrinaire communists hope to conquer. I say rotsa ruck to those doctrinaires unless the west itself completely forgets Christianity. Which Donald Trump isn’t permitting the USA to easily do. A God is always more powerful than no God, when the situations meet.
China is also building a lot of crap into itself that America would never countenance.
This joke’s punchline may take a long time to come home to China, but come home it will, probably with much anger at those who inveigled China into trashing itself for treasure.
