[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many aspects of Chinese culture align very well with what you would expect to hear from the American right.

They value a traditional family structure and believe deeply that hard work and individual sacrifice are pathways to prosperity and a better life.

They believe admission to elite universities and institutions should be on the basis of unbiased quantifiable stats.

They have no tolerance for crime, particularly violent crime.

Of course there are plenty of areas where there major differences… but it isn’t hard to see why some would identify with the Republicans, particularly since the Harvard lawsuit.[/quote]

Also, play the system as hard as you can to get ahead, cheating is mandatory, and life has no value except your own family, and children must obey their parents' every whim. [/quote]

The playing the system part and cheating are a consequence of communist China, not Chinese culture. But yes family first is very much a cultural thing. [/quote]
