China's Wealthy Live by a Creed: Hobbes and Darwin, Meet Marx

In China, clear signs of class division have emerged under a
government that long claimed to have eliminated economic classes.
When Lao Zi speaks of de I often hear Darwin.

The Way gives them life, de nurtures them:
Shaping them according to their make up,
Perfecting them according to their surroundings.
So, the ten thousand things revere The Way and honor de.
No edict requires reverence of The Way.
Nothing mandates honoring de.
It simply has always been so.
But whether or not The Way is revered
And whether or not de is honored,
The Way will give them life
And de will nurture them,
Make them grow, foster them,
Protect them and provide for them. [51]
Lao Zi
