No coincidence since they are not alike in any meaningful way.
To say they are remarkably similar is to say that one has no idea about either of them.


Lao Tsu: “To realize that you do not understand is a virtue"

Socrates/Plato never said that. Don't know about your Lao Tzu quote but I suspect that is also for some internet based brainy quotes compilation.

"meaningful cultural dialogue"

Australian culture gave back New Guinea to the locals.
China invades Tibet, north India and Philippines and jails Uighurs. Tanks crushed Tien An Mien square. Athos abuses his forum hosts.

Chinese culture is resurgent while Australian philosophers are simultaneously scratching their heads and anuses in the search for intelligent life in the cultural centre of Australia, the mysterious Outback.

Quote:
China is a magic country with special culture, traditions and ancient civilization. The Chinese civilization is one of the world’s ancient calcinations, aged almost 5,000 years. Its first written records date back to IV millennia BC. The Chinese civilization originated in Hwang Ho and Yangtze river basins. And it was there, where the ancient farmers’ settlements developed into first Chinese towns and national unions.

The Chinese history may be divided into three periods:

1. Pre-imperial China (the dynasties of Xia, Shang, Zhou up to 221 BC);
2. Imperial China (Qin dynasty 221 BC - Qing dynasty 1911)Wink;
3. New China (1911 – modern time). ...

... The Chinese history of imperial dynasties covers a huge period of time from221 BC till 1911 AD. China under eight powerful dynasties: Qin Han, Sui, Tan, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing, developed into one of the world’s strongest countries, becoming the leader in the Asian Continent.

Development of China as a single integrated country starts under emperor Qin Shi Huang Di (221 BC), who united seven Chinese kingdoms and conquered many adjacent territories. However Qin Shi Huang Di is famous not only for his political services for China, but also for his well-known Terracotta Army, which has been protecting the entrance to his shrine almost 2,000 years. An etched mark in history of China was left by the Tang dynasty (618-907 AD), whose ruling is often called as “Golden Age” of China. ...

Please don't thank me. Effusive fawning and obeisance of disciples, mendicants, and foot-kissers embarrass me.
