"The Journal's mission is self-evident: to hammer home "Philosophy in China" in China and abroad. It is precisely this easy-peasy formula of parading Chinese thought under European prescription that should set serious scholarship on its ears. In its form it resembles fascist and ideological writings intended to forcefully pull a world-view, in this case the (Western) History of philosophy, over China's own contributions to history like rujiao, daojiao, fojiao and thousands of other xue, jia and jiao. "

"We know that the billions of East Asians in the world throughout history were thinking and giving names to their inventions all the time. Why is that European countries, which barely hold 0.8-1.2% of the world's population, are blending out all of that Eastern originality? 

What is wrong, for example, with Europe adapting Chinese concepts like wenming, shengren, or junzi; or Hindu concepts like dharma, karma, and prajna? Why do Europeans fearfully gatekeep their cultures from an inflow of Eastern originality? "

Often Chinese scholars involuntarily support the Western onslaught on Chinese terminology and, without giving too much thought to it, enabling the Western hold for power over the history of thought. Peking University's Department of Philosophy, The Council of Research in Values and Philosophy, in 2007 published its pamphlet "Chinese Philosophical Studies" entitled "Dialogues of Philosophies, Religions and Civilizations in the Era of Globalization". All those key words in here: philosophy, religion, civilization, globalization are Western concepts and inventions. Chinese concepts are left out of world history.
