China under Eurocentrist Xi keeps trying to find common ground with the countries he worships via a narrative of the US as the bad guy, the exact opposite of what we recommend.....

China accuses the EU of 'blatant protectionist behavior' | DW News
Quote
EU Commission president, Ursula Von Der Leyen, said Chinese vehicles are flooding global markets and that state subsidies were having a distorting effect. He Yadong from China's Commerce Ministry, responded to Wednesday's announcement by the EU Commission President: “What I want to emphasize is that the investigation that the European Union plans to take is to protect its own industry in the name of fair competition. This is blatant protectionist behavior It will have a negative impact on the China-EU economic and trade relations.”
Given recent and ongoing tensions between the Europe and China, is there more to this than just economics? And does Beijing have a point when it accuses the EU of protectionism?

Eurocentrist Xi's reading list:

https://www.yahoo.com/news/behind-authoritarian-mask-real-xi-160000968.html

Quote
myth making has been an equally important component of Xi’s push for preeminence – his public image is clearly a priority.

‘I have many hobbies, the biggest of which is reading. Reading has become a way of life for me,’ Xi told reporters in 2013, weeks after becoming President, after name-checking eight Russian writers – including Chekhov, Dostoevsky and Tolstoy – whose works he claimed to have read.

Two months later, Xi charmed Greece’s Prime Minister by saying he read many works by Greek philosophers during his teenage years. When Xi visited France the following year, he boasted about reading Montesquieu, Voltaire, Rousseau, Diderot, Sartre, and more than a dozen other writers.
State media feted Xi as an erudite leader, publishing lists of his favourite books and cajoling citizens to emulate his love for learning.

The publicity blitz set tongues wagging among Xi’s fellow ‘princelings’, as descendants of revolutionary leaders and senior officials are known. Many among them concluded that Xi’s outlandish claims of literary prowess betrayed deep-seated insecurity



Of course we have a duty read Western authors (in order to know the enemy so as to more efficiently defeat it), but we should not enjoy reading them, much less boast about enjoying them (as if personal Westernization is something to celebrate!).

Quote
Xi is not cultured. ... one princeling who has known Xi for decades told me.

We can tell even without knowing him in person:

Continuing:

Quote
Xi promised to build a system that could transcend China’s feudal past

See? China never thought of itself as "feudal" until colonial-era Western academics started telling them to do so:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feudalism

Quote
Feudalism, in its various forms, usually emerged as a result of the decentralization of an empire: especially in the Carolingian Empire in 9th century AD, which lacked the bureaucratic infrastructure[clarification needed] necessary to support cavalry without allocating land to these mounted troops. Mounted soldiers began to secure a system of hereditary rule over their allocated land and their power over the territory came to encompass the social, political, judicial, and economic spheres.[34]
...
In the 18th century, writers of the Enlightenment wrote about feudalism to denigrate the antiquated system of the Ancien Régime, or French monarchy. This was the Age of Enlightenment, when writers valued reason and the Middle Ages were viewed as the "Dark Ages". Enlightenment authors generally mocked and ridiculed anything from the "Dark Ages" including feudalism
...
Some later Marxist theorists (e.g. Eric Wolf) have applied this label to include non-European societies, grouping feudalism together with imperial China and the Inca Empire, in the pre-Columbian era, as 'tributary' societies .[53]

but it is no surprise that Eurocentrist Xi accepts the progressive narrative. In reality, China's system was not feudal at all:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landed_gentry_in_China

Quote
The "gentry", or "landed gentry" in China was the elite who held privileged status through passing the Imperial exams, which made them eligible to hold office.
