In case you were wondering how one Chinese source translates this concept…
腓特烈二世（德语：Friedrich II；1712年1月24日—1786年8月17日），是1740－1786年间在位的普鲁士国王。他主要的成就包括西里西亚战争中的军事胜利、对普鲁士军队的重组、参与对波兰领土的瓜分，以及对艺术与启蒙运动的支持。腓特烈是霍亨索伦王朝最后一位被封为“在普鲁士的国王”（König in Preußen）的君主，他在吞并皇家普鲁士后便开始自称为“普鲁士国王”（König von Preußen）。普鲁士在他的统治下成功扩张国土，成为欧洲的军事大国。腓特烈二世因而被称腓特烈大帝（德语：Friedrich der Große），抑或其外号老弗里茨（德语：der Alte Fritz）。

Unfortunately, probably not true when he supposedly said it.
Chart of the combined population of China and Albania, as a share of world population. The last time it was 25% was around 1900. Peaked at around 38% in 1750.

“While colloquialisms oppose style to substance, it is tricky to actually disentangle the two, since style simultaneously augurs ‘semblances, referring to how things generally seem, look, or appear’ and vests essences, what is definitional for such ‘things.’ ”
“From the Latin for pencil or pillar, “style” denotes marks, the lineating that brings a thing into being. While colloquialisms oppose style to substance, it is tricky to actually disentangle the two, since style simultaneously augurs “semblances, referring to how things generally seem, look, or appear” and vests essences, what is definitional for such “things.”10 At once appearance and essence, style also straddles purpose and purposelessness: even though in fashion the de rigueur adjective for style is “effortless,” style often precisely indicates deliberateness, exertion, and target beyond the haphazard. And, as a classification of a certain place, person, period, or proclivity, style provides a heuristic for history; a style category grasps specificity stamped in time.” Excerpt From Immediacy or, The Style of Too Late Capitalism Anna Kornbluh
