Quoted By:
Chinese thought requires the preservation of harmony - meaning non disruption of the status hierarchy. Even if that means doing everything possible to avoid speaking the truth. This is a very paternal model of thought. It is not necessarily a bad one, for the simple reason that Chinese pursuit of harmony, and parenting is somewhat grounded in their (rather questionable) morality. That said, they will kill millions of their own happily if necessary, and have far less regard for human life than westerners (or Indo Europeans in general) do or can even imagine.
