At the time I was borned, suffice to say for the moment, more than half a century ago, Western ferment of ideas was at full froth and had been the case for some time. This cerebral advantage gave them a commanding lead in intellectual, industrial and technological developments resulting in their superior and dominating influences over the world in just about almost every field.
Many minor civilizations throughout the world stood no chance against the onslaught of the overwhelming Western influences and succumbed to them. Two behemoth civilizations escaped similar annihilations through their sheer numbers and dispersion, and strong cultural anchors. They are the Indian and the Chinese civilizations.
From their vantage point, Western powers driven by their innately hegemonic instincts would not and could not leave the Indian and Chinese civilizations alone. Also, the world is getting smaller. The fact that these two had not succumbed so completely in the manner as the others had done so made the powers that be take notice of these two's special qualities and intensified their curiousity and ambitions over them.
India was colonized and China was subjected to all sorts of jabbing and prying to open itself up. Save for the intelligentsia percolated by the British adventure in India of whom I have quoted a tiny few in my Blog description above, I feel I am only qualified in knowledge and experience to handle mainly the conundrums wih regard to China and the Chinese.
I would like to open up myself and share with the world my knowledge and experience in the hope to lessen the Chinese Conundrum that sometimes baffles our fellow Earth Dwellers. One person in five on Earth is a Chinese and this Conundrum still largely persists. The buzz today is that in the 21st Century only two countries will matter the most, the G2, United States and China. For the sake of the whole world, the Chinese needs to disrobe more of its furtive enigmas.
Hence, as the naked Chinese I will bare all that is possible in my narratives that will unfurl in this Blog. Friends from around the Globe, please guide me with your wisdom and feed my motivation in this Journey.
Thank You.
