>this aspect of the west

Since we're at it, can we stop this China vs West thingy, as if the world was binary, as if the only relevant comparison was between those two? I dunno what you mean by West, but you're probably thinking of anglo-saxon countries, in particular the UK and the USA. What you're talking about doesn't apply to other countries that would qualify as western (e.g. Greece, Slovenia, Portugal, maybe some parts of Latinamerica). Besides, most of the world isn't either China (or East Asia if you will) or the West (What's India, Bangladesh, Russia, Africa, etc?). Let's please just stop, the world has more shades than that :-)
