The greatest challenge facing Western society, which is also primarily responsible for its steady decline, is the double standard it has been practicing with regard to all issues of global importance. Western double standard has discredited institutions, regulations and security in Western countries. When conflicting standards are applied to similar situations, frustration grows. The practice also exposes Western schizophrenia regarding moral, social and political standards. As a result, consistency and coherence — two of humanity's significant traits — have been replaced by inconsistency and incoherence. Examples abound in the actions of Western countries.

Comparing the Taiwan question with the Ukraine crisis, for instance, is one of the most common mistakes Western media and analysts have made. Such superficial comparisons seek to simplify two very different, complex and challenging issues.

The Taiwan question is China's internal affair, whereas the Ukraine crisis is an international law issue resulting from NATO's continuous eastward expansion to restrain Russia's capacity to act internationally. The Taiwan question and the Ukraine crisis are different according to international law.
