Every people has its own "Volksgeist" - voelkisch spirit. The Orientals' is different from ours very fundamentally. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Take the Chinese. The people we now call "Chinese" were content in feudalism for basically the entirety of the past 4,000 years. Their "high civilizations" were all aristocracies built on the back of a rigid -- almost-cartoonishly-rigid -- feudal social order. The Oriental philosophy of Confucianism is simply the codification of feudal ethics, nothing more. This seems to be the social order that they are genetically inclined to and are happiest in. Compare to the European experience. We had true feudalism for more like 400 years, at most. And we call it our "dark ages"! When we finally got out of it, we call that period the Renaissance, the Rebirth! This pretty clearly points to a very fundamental difference in character. That difference can still easily be observed in modern societies.

Yes, "culture" and social organization is mostly the product of genetic inclinations among the population. A people tend to drift towards the social model to which they are most suited. (And, over time, a "culture" selects for those fit for its system; But not to get bogged down in Chicken-vs-Egg-ism, let's just say genetics tends to correlate with social orders and "cultural traits"). This is why many of the racialist holdouts in the post-1945 West were criticizing the Nixonian Domino-Theory panic-mongering about the dangers of the entirety of the Orient falling to communism. The western racialists, as in Willis Carto and his kind in the USA, aptly stated that authoritarian communism probably was more suited to the Oriental character, so a) what right do we have to impose alien ways on them, and b) Fighting wars like Vietnam and intervening in Cambodia and the like, were doomed to fail, for sure. Orientals tended towards communism because they were genetically inclined to authoritarian collectivism, unlike Europeans. I think Wilmot Robertson argued this explicitly in his delightful little book, The Ethnostate.

If the Orientals have culture(s) that discourage independent thought, discourage critical thinking, discourage creativity, discourage organizational skill, discourage most forms of initiative, discourage the concept of having an eye for inherent quality, and encourage form over substance in grotesque ways... Well, wiping all that away with a culture argument is no different at all from apologists for our racial-African cousins' behavior, past and present and future. "If Africans had a better culture, they would be identical to whites". That statement is the height of fallacy in the most fundamental of way
