Why do the Chinese often appear to struggle with criticism? In this episode of 22 George Street, we explore why criticism, especially from Western nations, often provokes defensive responses from China. From phrases like “What about America’s racial inequality?” to “What about Britain’s colonial past?”, these rebuttals reveal more than mere defensiveness—they reflect deep cultural values, historical grievances, and intellectual traditions. We dive into three key reasons behind this phenomenon: China’s lack of an Enlightenment-era embrace of critical thinking, a narrow intellectual foundation rooted in Marxism and Confucianism with limited integration of modern social science, and cultural and historical factors like collectivism, face culture, and the emotional framing of state authority. By unpacking these dynamics, we aim to provide a deeper understanding of why criticism is often perceived as an attack in China, rather than an opportunity for dialogue.
