I really love the Chinese language, its aesthetic, the temperament of its wisdom traditions.

I also think the Chinese are murderous demonic insectoids from Antares slowly terraforming this planet into another one of their hives. How do I reconcile these two positions?

Communism gave it the death blow. It was really more like centuries of Manchu subjugation and turmoil that killed it.

Trying finding some Chinese in real life. Get to know them. See their human side, and speak in their language to them. Kill them and eat them. Some Sub-Saharan African warrior sects say this is the best way to acquire another warrior's abilities.

god... i have like the exact opposite opposite position.

i detest their god awful tonal unmusical language and trite aesthetics and surfacelevel wisdom.

bit i think the chinese are amazing people who have embodied the ideals of the hegelian prussian state were an indiviguals wants are syncretic with the nation and the family values. the balance of the indivigual and the civic. becoming the great state that it is. how do i reconcile these two positions?

Throwing your daughters out to die as soon as they're born cause you can only have one child is good "family values"?

....what the actual fuck? do you onow anythingabout linguistics or heard a china man speak? the fact that tone changes words instead of just the feeling of a word makes the spoken language intuitively unmusical because you are forced into specific tones fir specific meanings. that makes it a clusterfuck of low to high disparate tonalities that have little musical intonation that can be imbued into them.

If you read deeply into those traditions, you'll notice that their authors are incredibly contemptuous of the common man. Take that as you will.

Dude just read Confucius and his successors. The end of the very first line of the Analects is 人不知而不慍亦不君子也, i.e. Is he who, though unrecognized by the world, does not resent it, not a man of virtue? The point is that the message of Confucianism is intended for a highly literate and cultured minority, and that that minority should expect to be scorned by the world. Confucian political philosophy is all about how the common man must be guided by his intellectual superiors, particularly the ruler, through the use of rites and music.
You might also think of the relationship between Western high culture and the average person. The average person is a sex-obsessed baboon. But that has nothing to do with the Western tradition.
