In response to Re Apologies to China (Mike Milken)


Chinese do not have any "values", none that I can think of anyway, unless you want
to call money a "value". I think the West has plenty, freedom, democracy, a
sense of spirituality, rule of law. China has none of this.

More sloppy discourse. Chinese are individuals; all individuals have 'values'. China is a country; countries do not have values.
Rule of law is not a value; it is an imperfect evolving process of governmental, legislative, and criminal justice administration.
Democracy is not a value; it is a (currently non-existent) political structure.
Spirituality can be a value; many Chinese incorporate a variety of (usually non-institutional) spiritual beliefs into their lives.
Freedom is not a value. The abused concept has meaning in criminal justice and political systems, but you use it in the clueless way that U.S. citizens do, mumbling inane pablum anthems like "live free or die", while brandishing firearms and flashing gaps between teeth.
"None that I can think of"; the enormity of that void is apparent.
