Truth should be told although it may annoy people. I have many Chinese friends here in Australia. And ALL OF THEM have adopted everything Western. They now even copy the white man by buying a pet dog so that they can go for morning walks with the dog. No joke.

So, although you may not like it, the reality won't change. Now don't take this the wrong way but if Chinese people are copying Western culture, then there is nothing wrong with it.

I watch so much American TV that I know @KAL-EL 's obscure 1990s TV references.

But those are just the surface level stuff. Real culture is how you think about problems.

Simple example: when westerners have a problem with their children, a common reaction is "estrange them, you owe nothing to them after age 18". You see any Chinese act like that?

Second simple example: COVID. If there is no distinction between Chinese and westerners then how come the results are different?

In fact, the end results are very similar between South Asia and the West... Maybe YOU are the ones that are truly westernized at heart with English as an official language and copying the British government system?

Yes I understand what you mean. I personally think if our Chinese friends are adopting some values and traditions of the West because it gives them an advantage then good on our Chinese Friends. I think it is smart.

I don't think there's anything wrong with adopting a few western values and hobbies. It's the way you think that shouldn't change.

And eventually some previously western hobbies - like working on hobby cars or building your own computers - soon become Chinese hobbies and more Chinese than western, in fact. Just look at all the people selling car and computer parts on Aliexpress. Someone's buying them.

I think you are confusing being against a culture and being against imperialism. The Vietnamese ate baguettes and drank lattes but still kicked the French out. I don’t think the west really has a clue what it is doing vis a vis China because they are creating an enemy that they’ve never reckoned with before. Five years ago most young Chinese probably aspired to American culture but now they are fiercely nationalistic. All the while China is gaining strength each year while the US is in steep decline. It’s truly a stupid choice to make to slander, smear and try to contain a country that could’ve been relatively friendly to you and instead transform it into the worst enemy you could possibly have. But that’s what happens when you are blinded by greed and hubris.
