Every article that seeks to debunk it bring up that it was a point of national pride, while sucking off sir such and such who honored the crown or whatever. Like they cannot deal with anyone else feeling pride, only the white man can.

reminded me of:

Respect for the salvation of the knife and the anebas is the source of life of the behas, without this our fate would be death and ruin. Let us therefore foster in our lungs higher ideals, and steadfast devotion to the bikru and the anebas. A true Behin lives or dies with his knife and boeto.

The respect for military virtues and the national ideal is the source of the life of the peoples, without which our fate would be death and ruin. Let us therefore foster higher ideas in our heart, our steadfast devotion to the Bible and our country, for a British patriot lives or dies with his sword and honour.

Expect to see a HUGE amount of this in the west as the Chinese Lunar missions get underway. You'd better believe that people will insist all sorts of crazy stories rather than admit that Chinese people can want to do cool things.
