It's pointless preformative piety to demonstrate how they are superior to everyone else because of their religious "beliefs" (more like tribe affiliation and nothing more, as if these people actually follow the values espoused by their religion) which scratches a primal instinct of status seeking and peacocking, so yes, it is barbaric.

Just my opinion, that is all politics.
That is why I do not follow politics.
Western politics, being a democracy where everyone is suppose to vote, the political culture has developed to the state where scoring cheap political points via any method possible is what sells, or what wins.
That is all they are trying to do. Score cheap political points.
How will this affect China? Nobody knows.
That, probably is the worst thing the West has in their views of China. That China is a communist dictatorship.
There is an assumption there, that in China there is no politics. That is so wrong.
Henry Kissinger. He knew there was politics in China.
That Kissinger is vilified nowadays goes to show the level of geopolitical thinking entrenched in America.
The religion or the behavior?
Seems Patel name-dropped CN

I was referring mainly to the ash thing, but you don't think the multiple inquisitions, the crusades, mass murder of aboriginal people all over the world in the name of the papacy, inter-denominational wars and terrorism and sexual abuse of children and it being swept under the rug on a systemic basis could be also considered barbaric?
The way I see it, the west and most countries like politics but hate governance. Per oxford dictionaryJust my opinion, that is all politics.

Politics: the activities involved in getting and using power in public life, and being able to influence decisions that affect a country or a society
Governance: the activity of governing a country or controlling a company or an organization; the way in which a country is governed or a company or institution is controlled
As you can see one is about talking about getting power. The other is actually using that power to govern properly. Countries in the west, India etc love the first one because its more about talking than actually doing. Countries like China care more about the second one. That's why they don't care that China has one party because that's not actually important. What's important is how it actually governs. And that stuff is actually hard.
There is a misconception the west has good governance because it is rich. But that wealth was gained mainly through plunder, colonies and setting the economic system in their favour. Now they are losing that, we can see their form of governance doesn't actually work as well as they claimed and people can see it. They of course don't want to admit it.

So the behavior and not the religion.
By your logic, the United States is the most morally righteous country in the world because of all the wonderful, egalitarian and aspirational things that are written in its constitution.
Let frogs dream of eating swan flesh.How willing you are to fight for your country depends on how patriotic you are, not how many siblings you have. Claiming the opposite is just wishcasting.
LMAO, indeed.
What a surprise: this racist claims that China can be defeated by racism, completely oblivious to the history of Korea War and the fact that China under the leadership of CPC after 1949 is totally different from any era previously.
Knee-capping article of the day:
"200 kg of payload":
she already speaks Chinese, been learning it since she was a kid at daddy comrade trumps insistence. Seeing her in hanfu would be no different to the Tujue concubines who staffed Tang harems.
did Kash Patel really make his twitter “fbidirectorkashpatel”? That is a very Indian thing to do.
Both. Made up gods are not for civilized humans, worshipping effigies of made up gods is not for civilized society. It shows they are still ignorant of the world, and even worse, willingly so.
