Reminds me of when I once hooked up with someone in China and commented on how an American way might be better regarding sanitation in opposition to open air sewers and the whole city smelling like poop.. and she commented, "Are you my father, grandfather or the chairman/ emperor?" if not why should I listen to you?
But that's how things are in some countries and they're taught this is the culture.. you listen to your leaders because they are the wisest and know best!
yes...I've met both sides of this China coin, however, but what you say rings true.
Thing is, China has something of a legitimately prideful history to latch onto, with eras of real intellectual freedom. Russia, of all places, still has not had this in, recorded...eh 2 thousand years? That's a lot of fucking years.
