In response to Re Apologies to China (Mike Milken)

Nations are sovereign legal constructs, they do not have values. Individuals have values.

In my own country of birth, the U.S.A., there are individuals with widely disparate values expressed by myriad religions/atheism, capitalism/socialism/neo-marxism/anarchy, pacifism/gun ownership, monogamy/polygamy/LBGT, public school/private schools/home schooling/kibbutz, on and on and on.

That is ONE country. Only fascist idiots like Trump can actually believe in "American values". The concept of 'national values' in fascist states is merely a ruse of misdirection perpetrated by corporate media to replace class conflict with racial ferment.

So: Western values? Before you accuse individuals of "sell(ing) out our Western values" and advising them to "hang their heads in shame", you might endeavor to communicate with precision, a core personal value of my own, sorely lacking in this forum.
