That actually proves one of my points.

I didn’t want to get into it too much but I wrote that Chinese people are on average, more pro-science because they’re less religious or that their religion does not strongly contradict with science.

I’m guessing your parents’ HK church friends are Christians?

Yeah I'm not disagreeing with you at all, it's the Christianity and Hong Kong's post-colonial legacy.

The mainland Chinese social order is secular. The technocratic state, the CCP, had a lot to do with that. I would actually argue that technocracy is a superficial form of scientific culture.
