Honestly, it's pretty unbelievable to see so many Taiwanese people attacking Jensen Huang. The servility of ethnic Chinese is running rampant again.
The servility of ethnic Chinese doesn't come from Confucianism; it comes from agricultural society. On the contrary, Confucianism brought hundreds of tribes and clans together into a unified ethnic ideology.
Those who promoted Confucianism cared more about ethnic ideology than any emperor did. They would even wipe out a tribe over one insignificant person.
Looking further back in history, much of this servility originated in the tribal era. In the early agricultural societies of the Yellow River basin, agricultural production was constrained by water management, climate, land conditions, and the organization of labor. A single family could hardly cope with all the risks of production and survival on its own, so families, clans, and communities gradually became important organizational units.
The head of a household was not only an elder in the family hierarchy, but might also be responsible for land, labor, the distribution of production, and settling internal disputes.
In this structure, the relationship between an individual and their family was not merely an emotional one, but also a relationship tied to production and survival.
Blaming Confucianism entirely for the culture of obedience that developed in agricultural society is mistaking the effect for the cause.
People who usually say these things also have no idea how rigid social systems were before the Qin dynasty. Nor do they understand why Emperor Wu of Han forcibly fused hundreds of tribes and families into a single people and launched military campaigns against outsiders.
Servility stems from barren land. The entire North China Plain was not originally fertile, and even today it is not fertile. What fertility it has is largely the result of generations of management.
People on that land valued it more than life itself. Land scoured by floods carrying yellow silt was hardly fertile. What mattered more was the strict family hierarchy that had taken shape as far back as the tribal era, with generations of people working the land with their own hands...
This in turn led to servility being hardwired through genetic evolution: they can fight among themselves, but they can't make a fuss about it outside...
So Asians all have this problem: when it comes to fighting among themselves, each is more vicious than the last...
