China, a land of preposterous phenomenon
Momotaro San
China, to be precisely, is a land full of preposterous phenomenon. Like in any culture study, one could not have a deep understanding on Chinese phenomenon unless one takes a close view on the psychology of the Chinese people. Otherwise people are easily be fooled by the superficial and delusional prosperity orchestrated by the ruling class of that nation. People’s impression of China as a weak and low class nation can largely be attributed retarded features in Chinese people’s cultural characters. In short, Chinese culture lacks of the necessary ingredients in order to establish a respectful and civilized society. Their stubborn and egotistic mentality has prevented the Chinese from knowing about the true cause of their miseries. This discussion is aimed at debunking many false understanding about the Chinese, both as a race and as a culture.
Sadly to point out, China made virtually no contribution to the modern civilization. Owing to the shortage of creativity, China did not produce any world class philosopher in modern time. Chinese people only know how to scuffle with each other over the limited resources. Although traditional Chinese culture has many virtues and was well endowed with wisdoms and enlightened proverbs, people can hardly find any lively applications of them in the behaviors of average Chinese people. Chinese culture strikes me as a culture of castrated body, a decaying carcass with no sign of muscle and brain. It is quite safe to say that, today’s Chinese are not Chinese at all. They are creatures with character of perversity and sickness. They are dying animals or pre-matured fetus. True Chinese exist only in history or literature.
A mind occupied by coward ness and selfishness embodies the real source of evil. It is the ultimate source of all Chinese suffering. We can not afford to see the Chinese continuously committing crimes on their own people, if indeed we consider Chinese as part of the whole human race.
Beside selfishness, Chinese are deeply superstitious. They tend to believe in all kinds of luck and fortune. They like to indulge themselves with a self knitted and self fulfilled dream of being the center of all human civilizations, without knowing the fact that, Chinese are tremendously backward in almost every field of social and economic development.
Generally speaking, Chinese lack of mental maturity because they never really allow their character to be fully developed. These people could not organize and function well in modern social or political entities such as government, parliament, and legal system. It is difficult to build social identity or national identity among dependent and selfish people such as the Chinese. Chinese have been labeled as a pile of “loosen sand” in the past. I am afraid the situation hasn’t changed much now. After all, one could not create a masterpiece of art from a piece of garbage.
Subconsciously, Chinese opt to show a strong sense of inferiority when confronting foreigners. That can explain why they always try to match their records with that of United States or Japan's, knowing the fact Chinese are not in the same social and economic level with the advanced countries. Chinese tend to be both realistic and idealist at same time. A Chinese could, on one hand, fiercely express his patriotism, in the meanwhile, try everything possible to get his foot into foreign lands. Is there anything more hypocritical and pathetic than the tragic discrepancies between Chinese people’s words and deeds? If Chinese love their country so much why they always try deliver their babies in United States? I have never seen any Japanese couple try to give birth of their kid in US simply for the sake of obtaining US citizenship.
Ignorance and fear usually lead to worship; Chinese like to worship all kind things, from Chairman Mao to Bill Gates. Chinese also worship English, and the English speaking people. Nothing could be more useful in amplify the pathetic Chinese mentality as an inferior race than the enthusiasm demonstrated in studying English.
Chinese view English more as sign of social status than as a tool of communication. Chinese studying overseas, mostly for economic reason, are not interested in learning advanced technologies to build their own nation. Generally speaking, Chinese have low self esteem. They tend to be extremely sentimental if something provoke them and make them losing "face".
Chinese lack sense of responsibility and respect for craftsmanship when performing a task. They seldom show any pride in their works. Few Chinese understand the meaning craftsmanship. They are extremely ignorant on the matter of style and etiquette. Even the so called business elite are not acquainted with the words such as “wardrobe” and the idea of proper business dressing code. Do not be surprise to find some Chinese wearing dark leather shoes with white socks.
Even though with these hyped growth rate, China was not a capitalist society in any real sense. Most Chinese do not understand the definition of “career” or “executive”. Business men in China are in fact a group of scumbags who enriches themselves by bribing the government officials in order to get illegal deals. In China, attitude of honesty and hardworking is condemnable because they do not produce any good result. Few people have any real respect of law obeying activities. Honest and polite people are usually become the targets of ridiculing. China hasn’t been able to produce many genuine entrepreneurs that could lead the nation into a modernized and developed society. On the other hand, China has produced a large number of swindlers whose expertise lies in devouring that nation’s resources at an astonishing speed. The only thing they are doing well is cheating and lying and trying get away with it. Only fools will believe China could become a commercial society of credit purchasing.
Chinese are proud to be labeled as hard working and thrifty people. However, their hardworking habit produces only low quality and cheap commodities. Their thrifty life style constantly undermines the integrity of the society. The life style of low cost operation encourages virtually all Chinese people, regardless of their education level, to take advantage from the public resources. The more the Chinese produce its cheap goods, the more resources will be lost from China. With backward and obsolete technology and no environmental regulation, China is also the biggest polluter on this earth.
China so far has failed to create a real modernized government. The very functioning mechanism of modern governance does not fit into the traditional Chinese notion of government. Most Chinese people lack interest in politics, viewing them as tasks of the ruling class. As a group of people with slavery mentality, Chinese like to be ruled and controlled by powerful and even mystical figure; they do not deserve freedom because they tend to abuse it. Magnanimity should not be applied to Chinese because only thing they understand is the power of whip and bullet. Freedom according to Chinese means the best way to maximize one’s own interest with no regard of other people well being. Chinese like to exploit the benefit of any given opportunity but do not want to bear any social responsibility. The innate characteristics in Chinese people’s psychology, namely selfishness, coward ness, lack of spirit of cooperation, callousness, dependent mind, sealed the fate of Chinese as a group of people of permanent slavery nature. Having looked at these qualities in Chinese culture, one will have little difficulty in understanding the chaotic and tragic fate through out China history.
A group of people full of irrational impetus but no conservative reasoning ability is doomed to conduct antisocial and destructive activities. The question remains as how many lives before they destroyed before they can possibly come to a sense that there is something severely wrong with their behaviors? Can they be stopped? Is there any hope to convert them into a more human and civilized beings?
Chinese intellectuals do not take an active part in social activity as their western counterparts do. They enjoy the social and economic status and have very little concern of the suffering of the average Chinese people. To certain extent, they tend to play the role of running dogs for the ruling class. Even though occasionally, they like to show some discontent because of discrepancy between their knowledge and the wealth they possessed. China has virtually no elites in a real sense. Real Elite class possesses both the power of wealth and the grace of honor. Thugs and gangsters posses power but not grace. The Chinese people who consider themselves as the elite class are most scum of the earth and economic leeches.
It is advisable to know that the only way to solve the Chinese problem is to eliminate the very source of the problem. For decades, the civilized world has engaged in a plan of exalting the Chinese people from their present savage condition, transforming them into human being again. If this attempt has failed to produce positive results, it is crucial that preemptive and decisive action should be taken to prevent the Chinese from inflicting serious damage both on their own people as well as their neighbors.
For some reasons, Chinese simply can not bear the thought that they are genetically inferior to them. Some dramatic work should be taken in order to lift them from their present pathetic condition. The vehement denying to their problems shows how desperate they are and how ignorant they are to their sickness. Insulting Chinese has never been my goal, although sometime it is inevitable to present them with a rude awakening of the reality so they may improve themselves. Chinese must come to a sense that the disasters and suffering inflicted by themselves upon their own people should not be viewed as a Chinese issue only. It has already become the issue inseparably tied with the fate of whole mankind.
The major obstacle hampering Chinese social and economic progress lies in the very structure of hierarchical society which they had inherited from their ancestors. In order to maintain this structure, the ruling class purposely keeps the majority people living in a state of poverty and ignorance. In the meanwhile, they orchestrated all kind shows to cover up the appalling situation of inhumanity in Chinese society.
Chinese, by their nature, can be described as callous and selfish. Chinese therefore should not be trusted. They seem more to be interested in saving their faces than knowing and truth and living a life of reality and decency. In Chinese minds, perhaps everything exists in a state of vagueness; they are not used to logical and rational thinking, but only indulging themselves in the beauty of ambiguity. This ambiguity, however wonderful it might be, costs the Chinese the opportunity of evolving into a rational species. Science could not have born in China, not because of the material limitation, but because of the shortage of spiritual vigorousness. Traditionally, Chinese show little respect towards those who dare to take adventure to explore the truth of nature. They are more enthusiastic about coin collecting and having more concubines than solving a mathematic problem. Few people respect craftsmanship. They are more used to living in an environment full of lies and shame than taking the initiative to make thing better. To prevent the whole mankind from degenerating into a status of mediocre, we have the duty to stop the expansion of the Chinese both as a race and as a cultural phenomenon!
Ironically, Chinese could be both industrious and lazy at same time. Chinese appears to both industrious and can endure hard toil has a lot to do with its infertile geological environment. One has to strive hard in order to keep one alive. Additionally, in a social environment where most people do not respect honesty and rectitude, one has to be shrewd and on alert all the time. Otherwise some one would insidiously take away your belongings. In a sense, Chinese must work extremely hard in protecting their interest from the assault of the fellow Chinese. In other words, it is the environment, both social and natural, forced the Chinese to be hard working and to adopt a frugal life style. To illustrate my view more accurately, Chinese living habit is more similar to that of the rodent species than the highly developed creatures, emphasizing quantity while ignoring quality.
Chinese educational system, to a large extent, is a matter of failure and disgrace. It had failed to provide society with any useful person. It only created a group of opportunity chasers who are eagerly to take advantage of what the society can offer but care nothing of what they can give in return. China could boast some mathematic genius while remaining a lager portion of its population illiterate. Chinese people’s life seems boring and lacking of excitement. They obsess with material gain far more than westerners do, and show very little or no interest in living a balanced meaningful life. Most Chinese do not understand the meaning of “spirituality”, “freedom of worship”, “mental health”. Their minds were preoccupied with greed and pathetic lustful desires of animal instincts such as sex and food.
Generally speaking, China as a nation does not exist. For thousands of years, Chinese have been living in a status without nationhood. China can only be described as a geological concept but not a nationalist one.
Chinese haven’t yet been able to develop a concept of nationhood. All they know is the idea of family based blood ties through which they conduct most of their affairs. This explains why in China, doing business successfully depends largely on to whom you know but not what you have or what you can offer. Without the knowledge of responsibility and social obligation, Chinese can not form a modernized society. In the past as well as the present, Chinese government has never put the people’s livelihood in center of its political agenda. The government only concerns with possession of its controlling power and the ability to maintain a luxurious and corrupt life style for its members. What have been going on in the political area for the past 150 years has remained the same drama with the same boring plot: a few powerful people or a group of these people determine the fate of majority poor and ignorant people.
Money and comfortable life style appeal Chinese more than the pursuit of power and control. Deep down inside, Chinese are powerless and miserable creatures that can only live as thieves or beggars but never as the independent owner of his own fate. Therefore, Chinese could not and dare not pursue what they believe is the righteous things not because they don’t have the knowledge but because of lack of courage. Chinese had failed to discipline themselves and to establish a functioning public institute protecting the interest of the majority. Chinese history, as far as one can witness, has been swinging between the extreme of totalitarian dictatorship and anarchic turmoil. Selfish and stubborn people failed to realize that it is the ability of making compromise that makes man noble not the continuous and endless struggle for fair share. By nature, Chinese could not be nobles because the very nature of their psyche runs directly against the basic element of nobility. Quoting the words used by Fredrick Nietzsche in describing the psyche of religious believers, Chinese are wicked, weak, revengeful, sick and yet hopeless creatures. Consequently, the existence of Chinese as a race has been a mistake by the creator, and can only be viewed as a mockery of human intelligence and decency.
The process of Chinese modernization is a process aimed at transforming the Chinese from insensitive and indifferent low living creatures into citizens of modern society. Yet one thing, I have point out before further discussion is that, in order to become citizen, one has to be human first. This I am afraid most Chinese are not qualified. To be a human being, one has to unfetter the biological and material bondage, and to look beyond. Simply speaking, life existed in a sheer biological manner, as it is the case with most Chinese, does not constitute the real notion of manhood. Real manhood demands meaning. As far as I know, Chinese have failed to evolve into this stage.
As result, most civilized people on this planet can not hide their contempt and concern toward the devastating situation in China and the uncivilized habits existing among the Chinese. Many derogatory words were invented by the Japanese and American to describe the psyche of these hopeless yet stubborn people. The words such as “Chinks” or “Chankoro” are still widely spread among the people who despise the Chinese and the Chinese phenomenon. China has gradually become such a negative concept that even the people who formally affiliated with the Chinese empire tend to deny fiercely their ties with this corrupt and wicked and shameful entity. People from Taiwan or South Korea usually consider labeling them as Chinese is definitely not a compliment but as an insult instead. As matter of fact, bashing Chinese has become a popular habit of amusement among these people. The word China or Chinese has gradually become synonym of weak, inferiority, cheap, mediocre, dishonesty, prostitute, among these people and many others.
As mentioned before, my purpose here has nothing to do with bragging my language skill. My activities were driven by the sheer conscience of a human being. I try to teach the Chinese how to live their lives to the full scale possible and how to be useful to society. Most importantly, I am determined to debunk the mystery surrounded the so call Chinese miracle, helping people develop a clear view on the reality about the Chinese phenomenon. Although Chinese are not short of intelligence and knowledge; one seldom finds courage and integrity in their characters. When or could they ever get out of their face saving habits?
To further illustrate the sickness of the face saving habit, one has to mention Japan, a country whose very existence is an insult on Chinese people’s pride.
High prestige and respect enjoyed by Japan in world community makes Chinese felt extremely embarrassed. Yet few Chinese people really give any serious thought as to why Japan, a tiny island, could entitle with such tremendous amount of wealth and respect so disproportioned to its size? The notion of Japan as a great power poses an imminent threat and a mockery to the Chinese, both physically and mentally. Chinese haven’t yet been able to shrug off the humiliation the Japanese inflicted on this dying and sick cultural dinosaur.
China, for the large part, should be viewed only as a historical concept not a modernized nation. Geologically speaking, China occupies large territory, yet it had failed to develop the political and economic power appropriate to its size. Unjust inhabiting a fertile land but unable to use and develop it properly, constitutes a crime against mankind. Shamed on their origin, most overseas people of Chinese descend only admit that they are culturally Chinese, or Han people to be precise, but refuse to have anything to do with the mainland “China”. Most refuse to acknowledge mainland China as the real China. The notion of China being a nation has no real substance, it is a mocking sham concocted by the ruling class to manipulate its own people and to fool foreigners.
Japanese continuously refuse to apologize to China for what happened 60 years ago. Whatever the tragic events happened back then, can only be understood as collateral damages of the world war. On the other hand, What China has been reluctant to admit is the fact that Japan’s rising up as a world power, to a great extent, marks the beginning of the journey of the resurrection of whole Asia. Without the inspirational effect of Japanese Meiji restoration, China could not have had their own revolution. Undoubtedly, for past 100 years, Japan served as model of modernization for the Chinese. For this China had never showed any gratitude in any sense what so ever.
As I said before, as the creatures doped up with the poisonous sentiment of grudge and vengeance, the Chinese could not establish a balanced view on people or nations that are genetically and spiritually superior to them. Therefore, What China and Chinese need the most is not knowledge or technology, but a courageous mindset to admit their inadequacy. To a great extent, the current prevailing anti-Japan sentiment in China reflects the gloomy and desperate social and economic condition in Chinese society. Unemployment, fraudulency, corruptions, pollution, gap between poor and rich, have been all piled up, compelling the Chinese to find a scapegoat for their own failure. The ruling class is also looking a way to cool down the tempest so it will not topple down the regime. An aroused sentiment of extreme nationalism obviously served the goal.
Since immemorial, Japanese culture was endowed with certain noble factors that were unique only to the Japanese people. These noble factors could not be found in Chinese or Western culture. In Japanese minds, there is no place for wimps like you guys, no “HaiGui” type shit, no begging, only a spirit of Samurai. The soul of the Yamato spirit, a spirit of Samurai warrior consists of duty, honor, and nation. A person’s duty to serve the best interest of his nation is nonnegotiable. A Japanese gentleman, no matter how much education he received, or how well he groomed himself to fit in Western environment, underneath the sophisticated etiquette, you find a real warrior, a Samurai. A Japanese man has the heart of the saint and the mind of a warrior.
Japanese are gentle people yet are determined when it comes to the test of destiny. On the contrary, Chinese tend to be weak minded and unctuous gold diggers who can only act as agents for foreigner power or as saboteurs of their own nation. No one have to defeat the Chinese, for the Chinese will defeat themselves by their treacherous nature. The image of Chinese as pathetic misanthropes portrayed by Hollywood films shows the contempt deeply rooted in the minds of the Westerners. However, if one carefully assays the behavior of average Chinese, one can easily conclude that the people in reality and on reels are close kin.
China could not master its own fate because they have no courage to see their weakness, and therefore could not elevate themselves from their current sinful condition. Very few Japanese are interested in staying in US permanently, as compare to the fact that very few Chinese try to get back to where they come from.
Deep inside, Japanese despise the American to whom we consider no match for the glory of the Yamato spirit. American, for the best part, is a bunch of uncouth new born riches unworthy of noble character. They are crude stupid and violent. Japanese dare to defy American in the arena of both military and economy. You Chankoros kiss American butt, shame on you.
Japanese learn from Chinese and American because we believe one day we will surpass them and we surely do. We respect teachers but we are also poised to annihilate them if necessary. Ultimately, Japanese worship no one but themselves, Chinese are readily succumbing themselves to powerful external forces.
In a desperate attempt to restore their shattered self esteem, they turn to other small entities for redemption. Chinese need to come to a sense that bullying the small will not solve your internal problems. It can only help build up public resentment against this preposterous and ailing animal. In conclusion, one has to cease to be a Chinese in order to become a human being. In an attempt to prevent the spread of this incurable Chinese epidemic, a quarantine method of decisiveness and determination is needed. Human evolution process has always been moving forward instead of backward. By this token, a backward, dying entity such as China should not be allowed to rule an advanced society like Taiwan. Therefore, as a final gesture, I have to yell out a sonorous slogan: love live Li ToKi San! Stop intimidating Taiwan and free Tibet!
