China Studies died a long time ago. It is just a Western cult, with Western China experts congratulating themselves on the successful enslavement of the Chinesheeple people.
Our Confucius Institute is still running. If you only read the papers from hell, you could get the impression our government was cracking down on Mandarin and Chinese influence. But it feels like there are more Chinese than ever in Britain, especially from Hong Kong. One day they might rise up and demand Chinese culture and politics in the UK. But this is a looong way, bro. First when get the Pakistani and Hindustani and Zulu rejuvenations shoveled down our throat. RIP England.
It has a lot to do with international relations and soft power work. Japan ideas like Shinto, Zen, samurai, ninja, karate, or bushido ( way of the warrior) all became useful loanwords. But because China is the undefeated enemy of the Western powers, they refuse to adopt Chinese loanwords, of which there are thousands and thousands, bot just shengren but haoren, xiaoren, and junzi and daode. This could change when US-China relations calm down. But it doesn't look that way in international relations now, does it? Cheers!
I didnt get it at first. Are you saying the Shenren should not be translated as sage or philosopher or saint but simply adopted as shenren? You are asking too much from our high-minded China Studies professor demigods, methinks. 😱
I discovered you on the Saker blog. 'How America has infiltrated Chinese education.' https://thesaker.is/finis-sinarum-why-i-think-china-cannot-win-this/ This is bold narrative and absolut true writing not found elsewhere. I quit the mainstream four years ago and avoid "sanitized" schools indoctrination camps. The best and truest writers are those in the underground. Subscribed, and I ordered your 492-page tomb. See where this is going. Jolly winter season!
When I was in Hong Kong, the white teachers made the Chinese use white words for their own Chinese things. This filled me with rage, but I conformed because I didn't want to be the asshole in the group or fight with the white teachers. But no more. We must speak up! We don't use white words for Chinese things in here. The Asians learn English 10 years if their life, but the English do not learn Chinese and they are laughing at us and call us backward and copycat. We mongols behave like the negro to these white men. This needs to stop. We Asians are 'somebodies', never again 'nobodies'! Thanks!
The time has come for Chinese ideas and concepts. It is the most racist thing to do to forbid Chinese words in essays on China in the West. Or in the news or in translations. This is bigger than the emancipation of the negro. The emancipation of the mongol is going to rock the world. In a good, freeing way. Thank you so much, Dr. Pattnberg!
Pattberg’s Lenin impersonation is legit
Old colonialists die hard.
True true.

Excellent piece, as always. This might get you fired in our stiff Chinese Studies department though. Just saying. 😅
