Ideas do travel, either in response to the failure of the old ideas or acceptance of prevailing views of the more powerful as when a country is conquered and occupied.

China's awakening to the outside world was probably a fair amount of both and Darwinism would make a workable antidote to the first and a palliative to the second.

Psst!...The book burners are their way!!

What’s ironic is that I hear that scientists are actually functionally freer to question Darwinism in China than they are here in Western nations.

Yeah......so typical to blame everything in the world on somethign you are against.

....so you blame the first gunmaker for all deaths at the working end of the gun? This first guy that made gunpowder?

China is nothing. When Genghis Khan conquered virtually all of Asia and much of Europe in the 13th century, he did so in the name of the Great Charles Darwin.

Little known fact: mass murderer Jeffrey Dahmer murdered and ate 17 men and boys because all opposed teaching science in public schools. Dahmer, who had taken biology classes in schools, was motivated by a fanatical loyalty to Charles Darwin.

Fascinating fact:

On April 14, 1865 evolutionist John Wilkes Booth assassinated President Abraham Lincoln during a play at Ford's Theater in Washington. In the second act, Lincoln was seen laughing at a line in the play, "Our American Cousin" which mocked Darwin and the then new theory of evolution. Enraged, Booth grabbed a derringer pistol and shot the President.
