>chinas whose national history of acting like native americans and getting conquered and genocided for centuries and generations They're due for a resprisal for the cultural revolution and ripping everyone off with their shitty products
>china >spiritual Not since the cultural revolution. Thanks Mao, for destroying thousands of years of religious and spiritual tradition.
Charles Scott
For entire millennia China, like Persia, had to deal with the best of the best going towards its soil to loot its riches.
This should not be seen as a negative but just a simple, small display of the glory and superiority of China in contrast to the world.

It would've been destroyed by capitalism and materialism anyways. See Christianity in the west
Liam Stewart
>Chinese civilization has existed long before all other civilizations
Stopped caring about your point right here. This is patently false. The Xia were eating people after bronze age civilizations had risen and collapsed in the Near East.
Aaron Baker
It would at least exist under capitalism, even if the capitalist system would attempt to profit off it as it does everything else. Christianity has been cheapened in the west yet there remains a devout spiritual core to it, the traditions still exist and deeply religious communities still exist. China uprooted all of that under Mao, they lost their spiritual core and they can never get it back.

I disagree, I don't consider mega churches and televangelicals to be a devout spiritual core. The only spiritual people left here are Mormons and Amish. And China has Buddhist versions of those people too with small ass isolated villages in the mountains
Joshua Adams
>The only spiritual people left here are Mormons and Amish. the soldiers who fight for their country while praising God aren't spiritual?
Joseph Thomas
They are, but they're a dying breed and you know it. The Chinese got rid of their spirituality in a state sanctioned campaign, we've gotten rid of ours through capitalism and the free market. Functionally there is no difference except for how long it'll take for it to disappear.
Carson Collins
>I don't consider mega churches and televangelicals to be a devout spiritual core. Neither do I and that's not who I was talking about. There are many deeply religious communities still in this country, you should visit some towns in the south. Especially black communities. They are still very much organized around traditional protestant churches.

Reminder that China's history isn't periods of dynastic unification punctuated by periods of chaotic disunity but the other way around. China's spent far more time fractured than united, and generally major cultural achievements happened during these periods of disunity, whereas all the imperial dynasties did was peak early before declining for the remainder of their existence.

Remember the time China fucking imploded and had to be put back together again by one dominant dynasty through war? Remember when that happened like 5 times? Remember when an Emperor killed himself and one of his whores took over?
Lincoln Thomas
>China uprooted all of that under Mao, they lost their spiritual core and they can never get it back
They do have it though. The myth of Mao destroying all Chinese culture is a complete farce.
Juan Thomas
You want "real" spiritual destruction go to any African country where all indigenous folk regions got raped by Christianity and to lesser extent Islam (because in Africa the latter is much more syncretic).
Jason Foster
African religion is still going strong, even if they call themselves “Christians” they still adhere to their old practices, rituals, and superstitions, that is the ones which aren’t just blatant unapologetic pagans.

Lol no, even Greek civilization is older
Nolan Adams
China has balkanized itself more times than you can count, it just has always remained culturally chinese. If i had a penny for every time a schizophrenic Chinese prophet lead a massive holy war against a declining Chinese empire which ultimately failed yet still directly contributed to said empire's eventual balkanization, I'd have six pennies.
Which doesn't sound like a lot, but it's still weird that it's happened six times.

Look up "bile bears". Modern China a disgusting, retarded culture.
Gavin Bell

No. Average Chinese people are soulless robots.
Jack Thomas
Chinese civilization will outlast western civilization. But Islamic civilization and bantu civilization will probably outlast Chinese civilization. Going by demographic and migration trends.

yes the chinese made some nice artwork and sculptures over the last two millennia, but that doesn't excuse their borderline-autistic personalities, lack of empathy and civic duty, disgusting hygiene standards, total ignorance of history and politics, revisionism about the superior societies and achievements of the west and, worst of all, their communist hivemind
