It's a popular argument that "Asian values" legitimise China's approach. But it appears to be wrong: > Findings from our multinational survey suggest no obvious relationship between Asian values and support for freedom of expression at the country level. At the individual level, the data suggest a positive relationship between Asian values and support for freedom of expression when Asian values are treated as a single concept. http://as.ucpress.edu/content/58/3/535 http://as.ucpress.edu/content/58/3/535 Moreover, the existence of Taiwan, a progressive, wealthy liberal democracy full of Chinese people, would disprove that claim too.
