Totally agree! The future of UX isn’t about picking sides — it’s about blending the best of both worlds. Seeing Google Material add more gradients just proves how much design is evolving.

And I love your take on the “compilation” of cultural variables” — such a cool way to think about it! Do you think we’ll ever get to a universal UX standard, or will localization always be key? 🤔

P.S. I haven’t explored Taobao much yet, but now I’m really curious to check it out and see how they approach UX. Do you have a link or recommendation on where to start?
