It seems it's about epistemology. How does Xu know what is true (tested) vs. how do people who are brain-washed know what is true? It seems like this question applies quite a bit to the current political tragicomedy happening in the US.
Many of us clearly think we know a lot. Probably 1-2 minutes sparring with Rickson, Fedor, Miocic, etc. (if one could be so lucky) would clear a lot of things up.
On another aspect,
It's sad how Chinese culture places so much emphasis on face-saving. On the flip side, that's probably why the Chinese understand Trump so well. He's the ultimate face-saver. Always thinking he is great and understands something he does not, then he needs to save face. The cultures who get this seem to be able to manipulate him, which is horrifyingly ironic.
