In a way.

What I am trying to say, whatever be the name you use, it is the readiness to accept authority, be it the Emperor, Mao or the CCP. And the intolerance to chaos as one Chinese poster so lucidly stated!

Like in India, no matter how modern we may become, the psyche to respect elders, irrespective of economic and social status, continues to be there even if it is a trifle diluted!
