Based on my experience, these kinds of cultural generalizations are interesting to talk about but as with many populations there is much more variance between people within the group than between groups. For example young urban Chinese do not put Mao posters up in their apartments. For older rural Chinese it’s almost universal. Therefore, it is much more effective to get to know individuals than to write to no one in particular.
Additionally, the question of how Chinese society looks in general is less important than how the decision makers think. You don’t need to convince average Chinese people. You need to convince the equivalent of a VP at Google.
Based on those two things, and especially because as far as I can tell the Rationalists have framed the entire thing as a sort of prisoner’s dilemma, the only way out is to build trust. And in my opinion the best way to do that is for Americans to meet Chinese people and for Chinese to meet Americans.
