Why aren't we asking questions about western colonialism's impact on the culture? Too awkward?
It's a culture of 1.5 billion people presently, over a few thousand years. Probably "fewer generations separated from subsistence farming" is more influential than anything ideological.
- slimebot80 3y agoTo claim it's a single culture of 1.5 billion is really interesting. China is many countries and cultures in one, but ruled by a certain class. Any outward disrespect China may feel could be seen as a handy distraction from problems of keeping 1.5 billion people the "same".
