I don't understand why you'd post that link. Almost all of those 14 points are true for China.
Um... hell no? There's no way more than 3-4/14 are true unless you're working with some kind of alternate universe China. Nothing about China is traditionalist, anti-modernist or anti-intellectualist, for one; they're probably the most technocratic nation on Earth.
Lmao. If you only read what they want you to read, sure.
