The only things is that the philosophy of the traditional Chinese culture need to convert to the mathematic figure, in other words, it means the social and regime system has to updated to the better system which invented and developed in the western society.
Japan, South Koran, Singapore, and Tai Wan have learned and developed the basic concepts of the western system of value of freedom and independence from the western societies; meanwhile they have maintained and developed their traditional culture very well.
