Nothing against chinese or china in principal - I just dont know enough about chines politic or tradition and I dont like to judge people by the politics of their nation. I know something about their handling of the internet - and I dont like it.

Nor do I, but this goes deeper than tradition. We are talking about what is essentially culture reflex, handled on an unconscious level.

I concur, but that's because we come from similar cultures with similar values placed on the individual. Someone from china may not see it that way.
