Don't forget that China has been a unified nation since practically the beginning of recorded history... and the predominate philosophy there is based on Confucianism, which dictates social order and obedience.

It's not just that the Chinese are living under a specific ruling party, they really do have a different way of thinking.

We westerners often fail to understand that our attempts to export our beliefs to the rest of the world fail because of some pretty deep and ancient cultural divides that are internalized from birth.

This is why the struggle to democratize Afghanistan is such an uphill battle. That region has been under the grip of feudalism for a longggg time.
