"Why did you choose Confucius "endorsement" Teachers' Day"

I'm not sure if that's accurate for http://jianshu.io/p/qpmsps (Any native speakers willing to do a once over?)

But the other articles are similarly Sinocentric (a couple pertains to outside influences that, nonetheless, affect or has "arrived in" China in some way).

A closer translation would be: Why choose Confucius to "represent" Teacher's Day?

It's an opinion piece on this bit of news: http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/china/2013-09/06/c_1326973...

I'm not sure what you're asking here? The articles are sinocentric in the same manner Medium articles are typically occidental in nature.
I was asking whether native speakers could give an overall scope of what the articles were about since one-by-one translations are hardly 100% accurate and likely to miss important subtext. I was looking for whether there was additional motivation behind the articles that didn't seem obvious at first or was it a hodgepodge the same as Medium.
