Well, I'm not sure how much worse/more strongly
put his Asiacentrism can be. Mind you, I ain't an
expert on things Asian; but in the interviews
I've read he seems very strongly rooted in Asia.
Of couse, he ain't one jot afraid of sending out
tap roots and creepers and branches over into
things American or European or African or Middle
Asian either!!!

further along...or just in a different place...or
something zen like that.
