Progressive Politics

Some european or american user might be confused by the approach of the Chinese governement, but for most purposes a strong emphasis on the Chinese national culture and industry has been a pivot and a prerogative of the Chinese powers (going as back as the kingdoms) since the foundation of a central political insititution. In that regard the political and social culture of China are historically China-first. They essentially see the region as the center of the world. It's in their name too. Trading globally is a tool for that principle too. Or do you think they wouldn't prioritise their own area? They currently detain a third of new patents globally, for medical research alone, and it used to be next to none a few decades back.
