Understanding political from human nature

When Soviet Union was strong, they were labeled with all negative things that is related to socialism (stigmatized). Perhaps because the "eastern" European power were seen as a threat to western domination. No political attack at all on China at that time because China still weak, poor, called as bicycle country, so not considered as a threat. But when China began to advance rapidly, moreover approaching USA, they began to be perceived as a threat to western domination.

"Wait a moment," Socrates answered; "Before you tell me anything, I will give you a simple test called the Triple Filter Test." The first filter is TRUTHFULNESS: "Are you sure that what you are going to tell me is true?". "No, actually, I JUST HEARD ISSUES about it," the woman replied. "Good," said Socrates. "So you're not sure it's true? Ok, now I'll give you the second filter." The second filter is GOODNESS: "Is what you are going to say about my friend something good?" "No, quite the opposite..." answered the woman. So, Socrates continues, "you will tell something bad about him, but you are not sure whether it is true. Well, you still have one more chance; there is still one more filter, namely the third...
