And as is always the case they ignore the fact that Confucius made it clear that the five relationships were about responsibility as much as authority.

To put the world in order, we must first put the nation in order; to put the nation in order, we must put the family in order; to put the family in order, we must cultivate our personal life; and to cultivate our personal life, we must first set our hearts right.

But, as always, the Chinese government is taking all the authority and only half the responsibility that is the credit part. The blame they reject. “Ain’t my fault something bad happened to you. You should have behaved yourself.”

Xi and Trump will get along just fine if it comes to that.
