Similarities and differences between traditional Chinese culture and Jewish culture

History: fewer similarities than differences. Chinese traditional culture has been consistent and has never been interrupted; Jewish culture has been fragmented since the conquest of Jerusalem by foreigners and the exile of the whole race to the rest of the world. Similarities: Chinese culture assimilated many foreign civilizations that entered China while absorbing and introducing them (except for Islam, which has not yet been assimilated), while the Jews maintained their ethnicity by relying on their national identity, and were not assimilated by other powerful ethnic groups.

Economy: more differences than similarities. The Chinese culture embodies the characteristics of an agrarian people, emphasizing agriculture and self-sufficiency, and not emphasizing industrial and commercial development for a long time. Jews are more ostracized by natives around the world, and are generally more focused on and proficient in making money through business.

Social organization: China's traditional culture seeks the most unified regime organization, and regards all social organizations that can or may threaten the rule of a family as a scourge. Therefore, China's social organizations are generally polarized, i.e., they are either servants or peripheral organizations of the government, or they are secret societies rebelling against the government, and there is no middle way to go. Jewish social organizations focus on fighting for their own interests, and collude with the local government in both cooperation and confrontation, similar to modern Western opposition parties.

Academia: For the same reasons as social organizations, Chinese academia either serves and sings the praises of the government's domination of society, or it opposes the government's domination with all its might, making academic independence impossible. Jewish scholarship is varied and generally reflects both the ethnicity of the people and inevitably bears the imprint of other peoples and cultures in the influx area, which is rather the same in terms of cultural diversity.

Enterprises: Successful enterprises in China are divided into two categories: government-run monopolies, which can make a lot of money in exclusive business and production activities, and family-run enterprises, which rely on one or two strong leaders to realize the prosperity of the enterprise. The mature business model of the Jews excludes the model of the Chinese state-owned enterprises, but includes family-run enterprises, which are more similar to the latter.

The above is purely for reference only.
