In China people general go along not just from cultural pressure but because the government generally provides a place in society for everyone who works, so it's hard for the disenfranchised to complain. Nevertheless, they can complain of inefficiency of being objectified at least, which means their system is insufficient for a sustainable society. The unimpeachable advantage the West always showed, until recently, was treating people as individuals. If you treat them as cogs, even when things work well, the majority getting what it wants only means that society is a virus, consuming all that lies before it. Only by understanding and treating people as individuals can you either get the best from them or prevent them gradually becoming their worst.

All the indicators are the the West is in conflict with itself. That the West is falling behind in social cohesion, internal conflicts and poverty.

Why will China fall?
You are 'avin' a laff mate!

I never mentioned the West. You've pulled that entire thought from the version of my mind that's in your mind, and it doesn't correlate with this one.
