Q: Do china mainlanders have courage, en masse speaking? Thoughts?
First of all, what exactly is courage? Below are two definitions of courage from wiki, dictionary.com....etc.
1. the power or quality of dealing with or facing danger, fear, pain, etc. 2. the courage of one's convictions, the confidence to act in accordance with one's beliefs (Dictionary.com)
2. Courage, also called fortitude, is the ability to confront fear, pain, danger, uncertainty or intimidation. It can be divided into "physical courage" — in face of physical pain, hardship, and threat of death — and "moral courage" — in the face of shame, scandal, and discouragement. (wiki)
Hell, according to these definitions, even those who flew into the twin towers, namely terrorists, had the courage to face 1). physical pain and 2). morally on the wrong side (their beliefs and ideologies, of course, say they are morally right).
When china mainlanders shit on the streets in other countries, lie, cheat, steal, rob, conquer the evil western capitalists (they call this 'I love my country') calculating the odds that their enemies darenot or would not impose counter measures, or their wumaos 'bomber divers' on the internet, writing their so-called chinese all over youtube when they run out of rational, logical arguments thus accepting the 'pain' of being hated as THE ULTIMATE LOW LIVES on this planet (but get to drive Bugattis and Mercedes), is that courage?
What kind of courage is that, if you agree it is one form of courage terrorists and china mainlanders have?
Hmm. How many Polacks does it take to give a thoughtful answer to a question requiring critical thinking? Actually, I wonder if kneejerk reactions which have been propagandized into the actor counts as courage under the second definition of the first definition. In a strange, twisted way it is confidence to act in accordance with one's beliefs.
However, the truly courageous act alone (at least at first), so no, most P.R.Chinese lack traditional courage, just as they lack traditional morals. Why do you think Guangzhou needs to propagandize the "Core Socialist Values"?

How many Polacks....lol....good one. Reminds me of the 100th monkey syndrome. One day, the 100th would get it.
' the truly courageous act alone (at least at first)'
Good criteria. Agree. This should be added to the definition of courage which looks like it should be updated given today's vastly different (worse) circumstances.
A lesson from Mother Nature. The truly strong and powerful animals such as lions, tigers, eagles, whales, travel alone, at best in small groups (families).
The weak ones like sheep, herrings and sparrows travel in packs. One obvious reason is security, they compensate their lack of individual power by aggregation. Yeah, right, sociable animals.....

If they have it brainwashing wouldn't work. They are taught by CCP to jettison traditional values, that there are no such things as ethics, no universal ethics (values), to 'love their country' (ie go zombies, become irrational fanatics like the North Koreans).
Why do you think Guangzhou needs to propagandize the "Core Socialist Values"?
Wow, thanks. I am not aware of that. What a laugh --- 'The 24-character core socialist values, which summarize the nation, society and individual, are a set of moral principles defined by the central authorities. They are prosperity, democracy, civility, harmony, freedom, equality, justice, the rule of law, patriotism, dedication, integrity and friendship, according to the People's Daily.' http://english.china.com/news/china/54/20170915/1077392.html
You know, it won't work. Mainlanders are so deeply brainwashed and the toxins of the cultural revolution are in their bone already, for one.
The critical reason for its doomed face show is commies' hypocrisy manifesting as double standards.
They tell the zombies to love their countries, use Huawei and throw iPhones back to the evil Apple people (one of wumaos' favorite pet projects), brag about how top notch their local universities are 7/24......blah.....blah.....blah.....
What cars do they themselves ride in? Bugattis and Mercedes (top end). How about their spoiled pricks fuerdai? Maserati and Lambos. Where do they send their kids for university education? Harvard and Oxford (I for one would like to know what their admission tests scores are). Which banks are their money in? Yeah, right, BOC. lol
The zombies are in deep hypnosis at the moment. But the 100th monkey will be born one day and other zombies will be forced to see reality as is. Then what? CCP's nightmare but nothing new in china's long line of dictator history. The speed would of course be a lot faster for one simple reason, mobile phones. Wechat, haha.......who are the 'we', they are tightening surveillence of mini-blogs on wechat about two weeks ago and a dozen or two have been arrested. shrug. Nothing new under the sun. Ask them about their moon cake story....whoops....forgot they wiped it out until mid 2000s, haha.
Where is your point of comparison, I saw more Lambos and other exotic cars in Geneva Switzerland last Christmas than I did in China in over 10 years.
So unless all those wealthier than thou Chinese decided to spend their holidays season at the same place my wife and I did, tiny capitalist countries are still laughing when it comes to insane wealth accumulation.
Just saying.
earthizen:
You missed my point. I was not comparing the luxury cars prc has with developed countries. I was illustrating the hypocrisy and double standards of CCP. While Xi's and Bo's (supposedly eating prison meals) their daughter and son were studying in Harvard and Oxford, driving luxury cars like their old men, their propaganda goons were brainwashing dalurens to go to Peking Uni and Fodan, and love their country by using dalu products. (see my post to Last Targarean)
The mentioning of them in the OP -- I was referring to their getting rich through bribery, stealing patents and copyrights, and manufacturing fake products.......etc. ie unscrupulous means. This is akin to drug lords driving Bugattis.
When China teaches stories about people being courageous they emphasize the fact that he/she ended up dead. In the west he is deemed immortalized as a hero
We all know why that is

Bloody violent red country, the land of upside down. Live, spelled backwards.
