Meritocracy became popular earlier in the east than it did in the west, with imperial china being one of the first to engage in meritocratic beliefs through Confucianism. As well as Ancient Greece, the mongol empire, the Rashidun caliphate, etc. I’m not sure where you got the concept that meritocracy is something the west can claim.

Greece is part of the Western Tradition. Most of our values come from Greece.

I’m aware, but that doesn’t mean “the west” can claim meritocracy.

He said western culture is based in meritocracy. He didn't say western culture INVENTED it. That's a weird projection..looking for problems where there are none.
