Ok pal, you do realize arguments from authority or consensus don't make something true? If it were otherwise, Xi Jinping would be the world's cultural guru and the PRC the best and only form of government.

Frankly it sounds like you barely qualify as a mid-wit.

      Ironically, the Chinese may be the most truth-based group out there along with the Russians.

      Although they prop up their own government, they also admit that their style of governing wouldn't be suitable for Western civilization.
