You are misinterpreting my comment.
Honesty and integrity has always been part of the China's cultural tradition and it was recently added into list of "socialist core values". It is reflective of the general consensus of population on the core characteristics of a Chinese person, and not related to the Chinese government specifically.
- capote 11y agoYour rhetoric is in the style of propaganda/PR-speak. Are you implying that honesty and integrity are frowned upon in other countries? In any civilized place, the general consensus is that honesty and integrity are virtues and make a person better. The argument at hand is that clearly the Chinese government can't take a joke (among many other things, including the whole controlling/oppression thing), and the people of many other countries laugh about it because we find it amusing. It doesn't make us dishonest or bad people, just because we don't talk about how these are our "core values" and part of "cultural tradition."
