Mrs. Thatcher said before her death that China will not become a superpower in the world. Today, what China produces is TV sets, not ideas. She sees China from a Western-centrism standpoint and believes that China's knowledge system cannot participate in the world's knowledge system. China cannot become a big country of knowledge production. Even if China's economy is rapidly rising, it can only be a big material production country at best. It is still a small country that cannot be valued in terms of spiritual and cultural production, innovation and even output. It is sharp but reminds us that the West does not value the blind improvement of material wealth, but rather the ability of a major country to participate in international affairs and the intensity of cultural output.
