During times of peace, China was able to innovate with inventions like paper, mechanical computers and countless other things.

But the repeated, apocalyptic ravagings of China throughout history would have marked it with fear-based ultra conservatism regardless of ideology.

I always wondered if Chinese people were deeply affected by all the genocide, famine, disaster, disease and war. Like, they eat just about anything, cat, dog, insects; it's as if they descended from a bunch of people struggling to get by, so they resorted to eating animals no other culture would.

Also the general behaviour of Chinese people is extremely self centered despite being a collectivist society; reminds me of a quote about the Russian famine which said that only the bad people who were willing to steal and cannibalise survived.

Perhaps, but that's only theoretical. What's historical is that China was savagely conquered and raped by foreign barbarians numerous times for 2000 or so years following the demise of the Han dynasty. Each time China got conquered, China got set back quite a bit. Considering how often China got conquered, it's hard to imagine the scale of death, rape, massacre, and carnage that went on in the most populous country in the world. Once you can fathom that, it's kinda understandable why the Chinese have such a nonchalant attitude toward human life. All the repeated rapes by the cruel and uncultured barbarians probably left a giant mark in the Chinese DNA as well.

The idea of cyclical civilization has been brought up by other smart people as well. Ibn kaldun and Spengler comes to mind. History shows that this view is correct.

Don't buy into the progressive view of the linear progression of history.

Maybe. But genocide, famine and disaster are still within the living memory of Chinese people.

Mao realized that civilization was cyclical (being aware of Chinese history, how could he not?), which is why he actively tried to destroy history and traditional culture.

In this effort, he was largely successful.
