Oh, before you start aguing against it, all of philosophy, all of government, all of lterature and all of art applies just as much, or even more to China in those days than to any state whatsoever in 'Europe'.

There's just one exception, and that is the brief Ch'in dynasty - and then we're mostly talking about the first and only real Emperor. Granted Chinese kings or emperors didn't really submit to the judge or people like some Celtic kings appear to have done - but neither did the Roman emperors, or the Diadochi kings / emperors, now did they?
free government? yeah thats right. i would have expected more from an eb member than crass sinophilia.
