Without prejudice, China is an old civilization with many philosophies on the issues of humanity dating back thousands of years, their concepts and meaning are far deeper than the West; the West is still in the stage of endless aggression against its surrounding countries with brutal invasion, colonialism, slavery, exploitation, bullying with economic sanctions and endless military actions till this day.
Dr. Thorsten Pattberg recently wrote an article in the Japan Times, China Daily and Global Research comparing the linguistic concepts of civilization humanity and democracy between China and the West, and advice that the West should adopt some of the Chinese language concepts of "humanity', "democracy' and " civilization' so that: "next time in international relations we could discuss how we're going to improve minzhu in Europe, and how to help America's transition into a descent wenming."
According to Dr. Pattberg, "While in China we still see a family-value based social order; in the West we find an interest group-based social order. In your family, you do not apply strict laws or make contracts; instead you induce a moral code. When among strangers who fight against other interest groups, you simply cannot trust them like your own family, so you need laws."
