[VIDEO] What can Indians learn from Chinese people?

The claim that China “discourages” or “bans” religion is largely a misconception. China has preserved some of the world’s oldest mosques and maintains active religious institutions across multiple faiths. Those who choose to practice generally do so without interference.

Meanwhile, the idea that the West offers significantly greater freedom is another convenient narrative, one that tends to get louder whenever Western powers feel threatened or unable to compete with China’s rise.

No country is perfect, but China is clearly moving into a league of its own.

While there's plenty to admire about China, I think it's absurd to say they don't supress things like religion and political discussion. Whether this is good or bad is debatable and your mileage may vary but it's clear lack of division on such matters has helped economic progress.

Setting aside anecdotal evidence (chats with friends), the very fact that people are willing to admit they do some religious things but not willing to admit they have a religion is a clear indicator.


Only 10% will acknowledge they have a religion which I believe is pretty unlikely given the evidence of the rest of the world.

On the whole though, as long as you don't make a big fuss about religion like say asking for religious holidays or asking to pray during work hours, nobody's going to poke into personal beliefs and you're free to do what you want in your private time.
