10. I agree with many East Asian scholars that Eastern civilization can cure some of the ills prevalent in the Western world. We cannot turn a blind eye to the proliferation of individual liberalism in the Western world that has led to extreme individualism, chaotic sexual relationships, and excessive violence. // On the contrary, the self-discipline, collective responsibility and gentle and elegant traditions of Eastern society can eliminate many ills of Western society. // In this information age, the world has shrunk into a global village. In this global village, there is no longer any clear distinction between the Eastern and Western worlds. We are neighbors living in the same community. // Therefore, we have no need to conflict with each other. The relationship between us should be a friendly, cooperative, equal and complementary relationship. We should understand each other, learn from each other, and live in harmony.

Our relationship is one offriendly cooperation, equality and mutual complementarity and therefore ,we should understand and learn from each other, and live in harmony.//
