HK and Taiwan expose chinks of China's ‘Asian values’ thesis: Indian news daily

An editorial named “Not A Monolith” published by The Times of India on July 15, 2019 said Hong Kong and Taiwan expose chinks in China’s “Asian values” thesis, which claims Asian nations ought to singularly focus on growth and power, instead of democratic freedom.
The editorial said vigorous protests in Hong Kong, Taiwan’s vibrant multiparty democracy, as well as a survey showing three out of four Singaporeans support the HK protesters, are trends going against the Chinese Communist Party’s “Asian values” concept. It concluded that Asian values are diverse, flexible, plural and by no means undemocratic.
