Liberal world government is not going to happen either, and moreover even if it did, it would not be capable of solving the current crisis.

I completely agree.

Illiberal materialism like that of China is not satisfactory either, because it is not capable of forming a cohesive, consistent anti-transhumanist position.

I'm more skeptical of such an assertion. I think the Chinese have a much better shot at getting it right.

Only some form of forward-looking Traditionalism would be capable of both affirming human dignity and resolving the material crisis of the 21st century.

This sounds like a synthesis similar to that of fascist thinkers from a hundred years ago. It's basically archeofuturism.

They do, but I do not think the current Chinese government would shy away from genetic engineering and other such forms of extremely objectionable technology.

I don't know much about archeofuturism, but I think it would be beneficial to find a way to control and use modern technology while also maintaining traditional forms of life and government. I can see no other way forward.
