The "bugmen mentality" that infects Chinese and, to a lesser extent, Korean culture ultimately derives from Confucianism. It's the most anti-Faustian philosophy/state religion ever created: anti-individualism, anti-innovation, anti-ambition, anti-disruptionist. It literally exists just so the Chinese state could keep China's giant population in line for centuries. In that, it has been exceptionally successful. Even the Mongols relied on it when they ruled China. But around the 16th to 17th centuries, with the world becoming more "globalized," the cracks began to show. A state driven by Confucian values simply couldn't compete head-to-head with Western states, driven by more pioneering and ambitious schools of thought. And this gap between China and the rest of the world got so vast, that when the inevitable culture clash happened, China got fucked by everyone - INCLUDING Japan, the least Confucian East Asian nation that actually modernized the second the West came knocking at its door.

Tearing down Confucian values was probably one of the only two good things Mao did. The other being killing all the junkies in his country.
