The chief reason [for the American resistance to Chinese Philosophy] is the Western concept of philosophy, which insists that it must be a theoretical study of concept and laws of knowledge, reality, and value. Chinese philosophy fulfills this definition only to a limited extent.

“He’s saying racial slurs, that’s not okay.” Clearly this fool doesn’t know where he is. It’s not America and their taboos do not apply.

So much for “freedom” and “independent thinking” and “free markets.”

FYI, also best not to do that in Korea; it is nearly a Nazi-equivalent symbol.

But this was exactly America’s financial scam. They always do this thing where they benefit from it and then complain about it later. As if someone else “did it to” them.

You are the one who missed the point. Both 1) people don’t steal, and 2) people don’t get punished. Full winning.

To be fair, is this exactly what Americans do when they go to live in a foreign country. They are notorious here in East Asia, and absolutely refuse to adapt to the local culture. Chinese and Koreans commonly “become Americans,” yet when did an American ever become Chinese?

This was the most pathetic spin. The market called Trump’s bluff, and he backed down. That is all.

Liberals need to pretend they are shocking someone to feel valuable, because there is no longer any value in what they are doing itself.

In fact, the most influential East Asian classic of the last millennium remains untranslated. Meanwhile, we have over 100 translations of the Daodejing!

There's absolutely no shortage of opportunities to produce 'new knowledge' in the humanities; vast swathes of medieval, early modern and modern texts remain untranscribed, unedited, untranslated. The failure to take these opportunities is partly a skills issue; (cont.)

CHENGDU TRIP REPORT: First-hand observations did confirm that infrastructure and technology advancements in China are moving at an extreme rate. What we noticed in Chengdu: 1) Big clean subways comparable to Seoul or Tokyo, 2) Ruler-level super-wide roads and highways, 3) Alipay

But the environment then becomes the United States (individualism, neoliberalism, etc), and the result ends up the American result. 🤷‍♂️

Lots can be learned by studying the last 40 years of Chinese strategy. It is one “unexpected” move after another [which would not be unexpected if anyone in the English world had bothered to read Chinese philosophy].
