Individualism, by definition, is a social theory that advocates the liberty, rights, and independent action of an individual. On the side is collectivism, which means advocating the wishes of the collective. From the Chinese point of view, Yao should have continued to live under collectivism, putting his community, teammates, and country above his right to express his opinions. In Chinese culture, obedience and respect to your teammates, etc... is of utmost importance. No one in China would dare to speak publicly against his or her teammates. It is not accepted by the culture. In the United States, speaking up your opinion is allowed, commonplace, and even supported to a certain extent. After living in the United States for several years, Yao clearly adopted the American way of voicing even a negative opinion. (CONTINUED IN ADDED NOTE!)
