Or at least recognize that the people at the top of the heap in China have always been extremely civilized and cultured, even if we don't like their politics?

I wouldn't call the Cultural Revolution very civilized for a start. In fact it was the opposite of civilization. That's just a recent example.

And isn't it important to note that in China, a hard-working diligent young man always had a chance to move up in the world, in contradiction to cultures which are being advanced as bastions of civilization?

Weren't there slaves in China?

On the other hand I find Western and particularly American criticism of China today to be hypocritical.

Sorry to keep criticizing what you've written....
