When people say the Communist government dumbify the citizens, Chinese has been dumbified since Han dynasty over 2200 years ago.
Before Han, there were hundreds schools of thoughts, and there were many philosophers. Qin unified the country using Legalism. When the government decided to use Confucianism - 'know your place' school of thoughts to govern, and the remaining school of thoughts died out. It is a real shame! We could have better social, scientific and economical progress with the different school of thoughts which provokes thought and nurtures great philosophers. Afterall, it was a Taoist who invented gunpowder.
