This is what I'm talking about. I think the sociological and political learning and culture needs to go both ways. The west takes the position of moral superiority to the East in every possible way and thus can't learn. There was some grudging implementation of "The Toyota Way" and Japanese production principles in the 90s after the American auto makers got totally destroyed by Japanese automakers in the 80s, but there needs to be more of that learning going on. Has anybody even written a book praising the Chinese government for bringing an enormous number of people out of poverty and explaining how it goes about its business?

In truth, there is really no such thing as moral superiority, they are just excuses for whataboutisms. Chinese people are very smart and resilient. They thrive despite the communist party, not because of it. It wasn't until Deng Xiaoping said "hey, let's get out of the way" that things really took off. Of course, if you think Mao was so great, I guess we have to agree to disagree.
