China is what you get when a highly intelligent nation lacks the moral foundations of Christianity, and never had the Greco-Roman legal tradition.

How do you explain Japan then?

They are a highly tribal and amoral nation who steal without compunction, and look out only for their own families.

That's a result of Communism. Not because the absence of Christianity. Mao utterly destroyed any cultural and societal foundation China had and replaced it with pure, unscrupulous, terrorized egotism where people will fuck over even their own families.

Even a thousand years ago, in the days when Confucius institutes were where you went to hopefully get a government job, the highest goal of many was to get on the government dole and direct government money to family members.

Now it is CCP membership that gets you access to graft and corruption. The labels have changed, but the overall culture is the same, a culture that has persisted for thousands of years.
