            reform and overhaul of the PLA into a modern combat force, totally abandoning people's war doctrine with combined arms similar to US command structure. also the introduction of full spectrum chaos for training replacing the scripted training done before

    Brains hardwired for confucianism. Although, now that I think about, did they ever seriously try to replace it with something else?

      Yes, state legalism. Which is currently winning over trad Confucianism and has effectively weaponized Confucian rhetoric to bolster Xi’s insecure legalism

    Unironically rice cultivation will do this to you.
    You can feed a lot of people with rice, you can grow and harvest it maybe 3 times in a really good season, and while being extremely labor intensive (you have to plant it by hand you can't broadcast wet rice seeds) for most of oriental history: the MORE people you have the MORE rice you can have and the MORE people you can feed. For most other agrarian societies you'd reach a point where it was the exact opposite, but that just kept not happening with rice. It was crazy.
    It really aggressively filtered and pressured Chinese cultures into accomodating massive communities at the expense of the worthless individual who can't do anything themselves. That's just China in general. That much is true across all tribes and ethnicity of Chinaman.

    Northern Chinese however are that plus the added pressure of experiencing an actual winter: Northern Chinese are proffesional bugmen and are the ones you're always seeing dying ridicolous deaths in liveleak and have that general callous apathy towards all forms of life. Communism really speaks to the Northerner as they've always saw strength in numbers.
    The lackadaiscal influence of the tropical climate of Southern China, ironically, significantly evens out the disposition of the Chinese people there out and makes them more rational, reasonable, humanistic, and empathetic.
    Central Chinese people can run the entire spectrum because it is a heavily urbanized and metropolitan district of China, but mostly the 'central' Chinaman is obssessed and autistic about material wealth. They're less savage than the northerners, and quite industrious and mercantile, but if the price is right they can become pretty fricked up.

        Hilariously there is a theory that rice farming indeed influenced Chinese culture, but it's practically the opposite of what Anon is claiming.

        I'm not even upset.
        I was either right and I'd have the satisfaction of saying something smart, or I was wrong and people would feel entitled to tell me interesting things about agriculture. I think the differences created by the staple crops a society depends upon is endlessly fascinating.

      lmfao. Southern Chinese can be just as fricking violent as the North. Much of the absolute worst horrific violence that took place in the Cultural Revolution happened in the poorest, most isolated areas of Southern China like Guangxi.

    are you even aware of why civilians were eaten? it was because the city didn't have any food left but they preferred cannibalism to surrender. the result of this made the siege too expensive for the rebels turning the tide of war. now ask yourself, is it better for civilization in the long run to surrender to the barbarians because a little cannibalism is too much?

    Cultural to the military/army? Sure. The military either attracts psychopathic people or creates them. War turns men into dehumanizing murderers. You could ask the same question for the rape of Berlin.

    If they'd surrendered instead, you'd just be posting 'lolz chinese can't fight and give up at the earliest opportunity' memes instead.

    You 'people' decide on your judgment first and then go searching for evidence to back it up. You will never be a real historian.

      its all war propaganda. the enemy is both cowardly and quick to surrender (encourages morale for fighting) and an inhuman sadist willing to take extreme measures (cope for when you lose)
