I was reading the yahoo news article of the same name as above. There appears to be an attitude in China that is very ethnocentric that reminds me of what people in the United States thought during the 1950s. There is no tolerance of any point of view but the traditional present day Chinese one. In this sense it is very bigoted against the rest of the world and because of this (un-open to any other point of view but their own) dangerous to the rest of the world.

Here in the United States we tend to think that everyone(pretty much) in the world has grown up and evolved and sort of moved into a point of view where we seem to believe that most people on earth have moved out of the extremely bigoted and unmoving points of view more common before the 1950s and the 1940s. However, that is not true in China(at least in how the government works). In some way it is as archaic as the government in North Korea and harkens back to a completely different era. It has more in common with the old Warlord point of view that historically reminds me of Genghis Khan and all that.

However, it is very dangerous to the rest of the free world and the survival of free nations.

When the most populace nation on earth is not free then it will naturally be paranoid of nations that are free and try to use those freedoms against those nations in order to conquer or at least defeat through business attrition those nations that have a different point of view than the ethnocentric Chinese one.

Americans are extremely ethnocentric and have been bullies like China is now and Russia used to be. It is important to see the difficulties of an extremely ethnocentric nation that works more like an old Warlord model than a new democratic one. If the world can't find a way to work all this out then some kind of economic or bloody war is inevitable with China. Though I think this is very sad and unfortunate I am not a fool. So, some kind of progress needs to be made bridging the gap between the free world and in some ways a very ancient China.
