Alright, I'll take you at your word and I'll risk it, let's see what happens.
China:
- is good at doing things. Projects in the West are smaller and take longer.
- can take the long view. Western governments think of the next election.
- promotes harmony and unity among its citizens. Western electorates must be divided by emotional issues.
- has a domestic security apparatus that's more transparent and obvious than corresponding forces in the West.
- has 1.4 billion people. EU has 512 million. US has 330 million.
- learn what works from others and make it their own. Less Western students go to China, than vice versa.
- people emigrate everywhere, mix with everyone but still maintain their own culture. Less Westerners migrate to China than vice versa.
- is very safe from violent crime and terrorism. The West could emulate China's effective law enforcement strategies.
- has an admirable, inspiring and clear goal of striving for national rejuvenation, a harmonious and moderately prosperous country. What admirable, inspiring and clear goal for the future to work toward does any Western country have?
That's some of what I think.
But I don't think it's important to you what I think. I think what's important for you is you being open to see what's already there in front of you. When you are open to learn, you will find your own things about China that you admire and wish the West would emulate.
