I don't really find their modern day philosophy (in terms of a society/country) all that enlightening. The earth is full so we should tolerate governments like the CCP/CPC? China's style of government is dysfunctional and dystopian, not prudent.
From my viewpoint China never expanded not because they were chill people, they could not even repel foreign invaders, let alone expand an empire.
Totally agree we should work together on this planet, but with a dictator like Xi in power that wont happen.

- foverzar 4y ago> The earth is full so we should tolerate governments like the CCP/CPC? Careful with that kind of rhetorics. The world may start asking the same question regarding the 15% of world's population who act like they are the enlightened masters of the world questioning whether they should "tolerate" something on the other side of the globe. Even now there isn't much tolerance towards American or French governments, who actually do evil shit far from their national borders. > Totally agree we should work together on this planet, but with a dictator like Xi in power that wont happen. Meh, how about instead each of us minds our OWN business? There is no way one can be actually responsible about things one is not accountable for. Afghanistan is a perfect illustration of that - not just recent evacuation while leaving a shit ton of modern weapons, but all the way back to the days when the US had been nurturing mujahideen to create problems for the Soviet Union, which gave the rise of what we now know as islamic fundamentalist extremism (Taliban, Al-Qaeda, ISIS and such)
