This is just stupid. Does Ethiopia have nothing to learn from the rest of the world because that's where humanity (probably) invented fire? Good, useful information spreads regardless of whether a country invented any arbitrary institution in the past

China has a long history of central control of the media, censorship, state propaganda and bureaucratic control all of which are directly relevant to this particular topic. All the poster is doing is pointing that out. It isn’t Ethiopia.

China has institutional knowledge reaching back thousands of years. It does not need US expertise on how to handle foreign policy nor governance. It is arguable that the top layers of society such as technological progress, social hygiene, consumer culture, etc., hold value and are worthy of integration, however, the critical mass of civilization and intelligence within greater Chinese history serves as the best guide for their national affairs.
