Asian values!
Regarding Asian Values.
Talking about related stuff., suddenly triggered some memories of the past.
Asian Values is not a term that I have come across in a long time. In the past, it was in usage, but it faded away. Asian Values did not fade away, but usage of that term faded in the English language.
Why did people stop talking about Asian Values? I noticed it, that people stop talking about it, but that during the time of the rise of China, which of course, was the originator of these Asian Values.
1. What are Asian Values? A brief summary below.
As we can see, it is kind of diametrically opposed to Western Values in some respects.
That makes it interesting.
2. Never realized this, until yesterday, but I think this is true, and would explain a lot of hostility from the West towards China.
First there is this Asian Values, which is the foundation for the success of much of the populations of East Asia and South East Asia, as there are not many Liberals and Western states there. The success of these societies with Asian Values cast shade on those Western Values, in that there is another way that is better for some people. It discredits the claimed universalism of Western Values.
So right off the bat, the West does not like China and Asian Values because it discredits Western claims of the universalism of their Western Values.
But, I think there is more. Who is the CCP? They are the Communist Party of China! What does that mean? That means they are hardcore Marxist-Leninist!
And what does Marxist-Leninist want to do? Overthrow society, which is the Liberal order. Haha!
So in effect, if Marxist-Leninism succeeds in China, it kind of points to the doom of Western Values and how they organize their society. That is what Marx kind of predicted, and if it actually works in China, then what does that mean for the Western societies, of which Marx based his predictions on? Ha!
To conclude again, the West hates China because of Asian Values, which in many respects is opposed to Western Values, and they hate the Marxist-Leninism, because if it works, then it could trigger an upheaval that overthrows the society, which now is based on Liberal Values, hence if Marxism succeeds it can be a real threat to Western Values as we know it today.
There is only one China, but it of itself challenges the West in two ways, with Asian Values, and the Marxist-Engles-Lenin-Stalin-Mao_Zedong thought.
That was why they hated Obama, because he seemed like a Marxist/socialist type of guy.
I agree, Barry was kind of like a Marxist/socialist kind of guy.
