Given the West’s record of horrendous warfare and often brutal imperialism, this seems unlikely. Moreover, the way ordinary Chinese rallied to help victims of the earthquake in Sichuan has been quite remarkable, as have been the spontaneous efforts of people in Burma to assist their fellow citizens, even as the military did very little.
鉴于西方国家骇人的战争记录和常常表现出的残忍的帝国主义，这似乎不太可能。此外，普通中国百姓团结一致帮助四川地震灾区的灾民的行为令人钦佩，还有缅甸人自发组织起来帮助他们的同胞的事迹，尽管他们的军队所做的非常少。佛教像基督教一样提倡同情和怜悯。对别人遭受的痛苦漠不关心绝对是违背任何亚洲文化的。
