Western education remains a fetish of the colonial past.

~ Thorsten J. Pattberg

I am despised by an army of undiscerning academic highbrows, and ridiculed by semi-educated and vengeful China-experts whose era of translating Chinese into Western categories has now come to an end. The public is ready for non-European vocabularies.

~ Thorsten J. Pattberg

The wisdom of the East is immortalized in its vocabularies and must be liberated from European language imperialism once and for all.

~ Thorsten J. Pattberg

Tourists and imperialists do not come to be taught. They call things the way they call things at home.
