"Thomas Friedman also warns in his book The World Is Flat that the Dell Theory should not be interpreted as a guarantee that nations who are deeply involved in global supply chains will not go to war with each other. It rather means that the governments of these nations and their citizens will have very heavy economic costs to consider as they contemplate the possibility of war. These costs include the long-term loss of the country's profitable participation in the global supply chain."
How will "屠殺幾千名日本平民" protect your tribe's interest?
If "屠殺幾千名日本平民" sounds great to you, is Nanking massacre wrong?
What happen to the not killing doctrine in Buddhism? If even buying meat is prohibited because it induces killing, how is mass-murdering civilian to protect some unknown interest 'great'?

This is exactly the point "Why I would not want to be Chinese on the next reincarnation" talks about. Foreign scholar have a hard time understanding Chinese culture because in Chinese, the world is splitted into ideal world, and practical world. Most of the thing being said is only in ideal world, while they behave in the real world without regards to their ideal.
虛偽 is exactly the problem the Chinese authors talk about in their book. 虛偽 has been in the culture of Chinese for too long and too deep rooted.

I am not sure which king in India you are talking about, but Ashoka the Great, one of the greatest Buddhist king, and also a model for later Buddhist king (such as those in Thailand), stop his invasion to neighbouring country after his conversion to Buddhism.
Instead of mass-murdering, he decided to send diplomate to neighbouring empire to spread Buddism (for example, Sri Lanka) He decided to build more hospital, even for the animal instead of military academy.
In fact, he converted to Buddhism after witnessing so much death from his earlier battles before living like a pacifist. (A wisedom rare in those days)
These are mostly from Buddhist source!
Whether people regard his politics as a failure or not, at least he is true to his ideal. In American way of saying it, "He don't f--k around with words." Even English author H.G Well calls him "the greatest kings".
