I believe that the Ying and Yang symbol represents the most important aspect of our existence: symmetry.

Without symmetry and balance there would be no life and space would be chaos. Its a shame that present orthodox science understand so little about this important aspect of our universe.

By contrast, the CCP civilizing project is a nationwide attempt to forge a unified “Chinese” national identity. The continued conflation of race, culture, and nation (just what does it mean to be “Chinese”?) further complicates the issue.
