And the second reason is because, whereas in Europe and North America, the state's power is continuously challenged -- I mean in the European tradition, historically against the church, against other sectors of the aristocracy, against merchants and so on -- for 1,000 years, the power of the Chinese state has not been challenged.
A drugi razlog je u tome, dok se u Europi i sjevernoj Americi, državna moć neprestano osporava -- mislim na europsku tradiciju, povijesno protiv crkve, protiv drugih dijelova aristokracije, protiv trgovaca, i tako dalje -- tijekom 1.000 godina, moć kineske države nitko nije izazvao.
