The West has mostly leaned towards individualism (aka “it's a free country”) while the East Asia under the influence of Confucianism is most collective.
This is ridiculous. Look at the divorce rates here: https://wisevoter.com/country-rankings/divorce-rate-by-country/ https://wisevoter.com/country-rankings/divorce-rate-by-count...
Mainland China has a surprisingly high divorce rate.
How do you explain why Canada has a divorce rate less than one half of the United States?
Japan and the Netherlands have roughly the same divorce rates, and wildly different cultures.
