I know what you saying, but I think China has to do a hell of a lot more to get any respect whatsoever. That's wingeing arrogance in the extreme, considering their human right abuses, animal rights abuses, environmental abuses. Fuck 'em, but hey ho, the West chooses it's targets very conveniently due to economic benefit anyway. As for ancient Chinese culture, the current Communist regime has absolutely no link with it whatsoever in terms of Taoist/Confucian's egalatarian aspects. It likes the feudalism though.

"human right abuses, animal rights abuses, environmental abuses"

We still have a ways to go there, too..

It's easy to forget that China only really just within our lifetime reached the point in their history that we went thru over a hundred years ago. They are learning and changing as they interact with the world.

China largely isolated itself for MILLENNIA..... that has a lot to do with its problems. The wall is coming down, and the Chinese learn more about other ways of thinking. That brings up LANGUAGE, which is deeply connected to how these things manifest... its syntax is a factor in cultural views, and the syntax is very different from western languages.

Better to keep opening China up to the world, I think. Having them get isolationist would just create military frictions.
