The separation of the haves and the have-nots has always been a pillar of human civilizations. All of them used an ideology that convinced both the elite and the subjects that they deserved their fate. In most cases, the ideology took the form of some religion, but “the Chinese” were, and still are, different.
It is easier to understand “the Chinese,” if one manages to understand their heritage, at least to a certain extent.
The role of literacy
Literacy alone in China took care of the separation of the privileged and the underclass. Social mobility, however, emerged in China with the introduction of a crude form of meritocracy. When Confucianism was embraced by the rulers (it is an “etiquette” of “ruling properly”; Machiavelli comes to mind as an analogy from the West, but that happened nearly two thousand years later and never got officially canonized) suddenly, small landowners and some artisans who were able to pay a tutor to teach their sons how to read and write and a wondering scholar whose stock of Confucius' works made it possible for the sons to learn all of them by heart and go for the Imperial Exam that could elevate their position. That is why the Chinese respect mostly money even today; social mobility was possible only for those with assets, and the destitute had to succumb to the fact that they were undeserving of anything else but to serve.
Only about 40% of “the Chinese” speak Mandarin, the largest language group in China. There are about 300 major languages, and the picturesque writing is the only way speakers of different languages can communicate with each other, which makes the writing indispensable. Although the writing can be efficient for a few purposes, it is mostly a drag. However, it ensures some cultural isolation and sense of superiority, because “western devils” have a hard time reading its characters (Cyrillic alphabet provides a bit of the same, but to a lesser extent, because it is already based on sounds, not on concepts) that for any erudite reader, requires familiarity with about 15 thousand symbols (that denote morphemes) with a just about infinite number of combinations with the 52 diachronics (little markers within ideograms indicating some sort of inflection in meaning, but ideograms can also be created for novel ideas). It was not an accident that one of the final tests at the Imperial Exam, when multiple contestants achieved a perfect score by reciting Confucius perfectly (assuming the mandatory bribes before the test hadn’t taken care of it, because when all things went equal, the largest donor’s son was declared winner), was the task to create a new “ideogram,” and the most elegant solution was granted the title of the lowest-ranking imperial official.
So, “the Chinese” are not so mysterious, after all, but bearing in mind that they represent a completely different stance in civilization might assist westerners to realize why they are looked down upon by the folks from China.
Still, not everyone from there is completely detached. I remember having a discussion with a Chinese doctoral student in my time as a doctoral student in Massachusetts. While packing books for shipments for the University Press as student workers, we were exploring the possibilities of some kind of solution to a computer programming problem (it may have been hardware, I forget) and, as I kept coming up with options, after a few minutes, he couldn’t hide his astonishment, to which, to my amazement, he immediately gave voice as well, as if talking to himself, saying something like, “It looks like not all white people are stupid.” In the same warehouse, after the conversation, I was even befriended by a Vietnamese engineering student, whose idea of westerners also radically changed (but the Vietnamese tend to be Roman Catholics as a result of their French colonial heritage, so they are light-years closer to the West than most people from China).
Christianity as a base for comparison
Obviously, it would be easier to get along with people from China, if they didn’t consider themselves superior, but I cannot blame them, because such a sense of superiority seems to be just about universal among human cultures.
Christianity could have served as a decent common denominator to abridge various cultures, but it didn’t work out in China in the long run. Christianity was not banned right away. After about 200 years of proselytizing, in 1692, it even received imperial protection:

The Jesuits managed to convert up to 400 thousand Chinese (the poor were out of range for Confucianism that was the elite’s ideology, and many people liked the idea of a personal relationship with God as a personal redeemer, which was missing from the spiritualism in Taoism), but the pope disallowed to have the Sacrament made of rice, and the conversions slowed down. Jesuits were adept at making deals with those in power (which is the reason why Counter-Reformation was successful in Europe), convincing them it was in their best interest to allow Roman Catholicism to flourish. Later, Franciscan and Dominican preachers showed up, ignored the rich and powerful, while publicly declared that Confucianism was from the Devil, which ticked off the ones in power and in 1724, Catholicism earned a 136-year-long banishment from China:

Christian missionaries were welcome in China only after the Second Opium War that ended in 1860.
Today, only about 44 million Chinese declare themselves to be Christians:
The idea of equality before God and before the law doesn’t exist in most cultures, and China is not an exception. In fact, even in the West, in Calvinism and in orthodox Judaism, the proof of God loving you is your opulence. There is a pecking order among Muslims, and the caste system represents such an order, too. The “West” pretends to give people equal opportunities, but upward social mobility has been non-existent for decades, taking the illusion of the American Dream with itself after an ephemeral existence to an early grave.
What is the common denominator among all cultures is that they structure themselves in the same manner, and they respect wealth and power, based on which, they usually develop their own ideologies in order to keep the destitute at bay:

In all cultures, power accumulates before the final collapse. It’s happening now at the global level, so no “next culture” is going to take over.
What about China today?
China has proven a good ally for the globalists, initiating the fake pandemic by introducing lockdowns, by starving, imprisoning, beating, and killing its own folks, by putting graphene oxide in the muzzles, in the “tests,” and in the injections (American, Russian, and Chinese injections all contain GO), manipulated by 5G that can alone cause radiation sickness (the “outbreak” in Wuhan coincided with major 5G installations, as it happened to be the case in Northern Italy, too).
From 1919, the globalist bankers’ strategy became to create “nation-states” with mixed populations, which ensured that the “divide-and-rule” strategy would work against the people, who can blame other ethnic groups for their predicaments. The same thing is happening in Ukraine, which further substantiates the idea that the globalist bankers were responsible for the creation of the Soviet Union, and today’s show is only a direct continuation of the same:

The bankers wreaked havoc in China, too, supporting Mao’s genocide, and they have helped the Chinese government to develop an economy on which much of the world now relies. There are relevant parts in the following article:

The Chinese leadership has been accustomed to treating its subjects as prisoners and assets, although the gap has been lessening between China and the West ever since the plandemic kicked off. After all, most western countries started their compliance training no later than a hundred years ago:

You are not tattoed in the prison camp the US is becoming, but without a social security number, your existence is not even acknowledged, because your primary role is to be an asset for those, who hijacked the government a long time ago:

By signing petitions and contacting your representatives you only acknowledge the illegitimate system as your superior and your guardian. Besides, you also assist the enforcers in the creation of a list of potention dissenters, who are among the first candidates to be moved to the “Green Zones”:

Excellent article as usual, Ray.
The underlying condition that has made social structures of control possible; concentration of wealth and means, exclusive for just the few has been Hierarchy. Perhaps the biggest mind virus ever to exist is the one we mostly never noticed, but just went along with, until now.
Hierarchy is a crime against the Truth; everyone is equally Sovereign. We are living in an age where avarice has been exalted into a World Tower of Control. Just like a tower of Babel, it's time to pull some stones out from below it and watch it fall.
