  • Sintle, just broke up with ex, im on the rebound

  • The Chinese make me proud to be a human being.

    Compare the Chinese to the Europeans and Euro-Americans. China never enslaved Africans, never killed Jews, never passed Racial Segregation, never dropped bombs for oil, never invaded other countries to enslave them and rape their lands like EUROPEANS DID.

    China invented so many things that Europeans later used for terrorism and crime.

    Chinese = civilized

    Europeans = barbarians

  • 中国欢迎你!~

  • love

  • my dad's friends baby son was born on that day.

  • They are already pouring money into building better infrastructures in the country, and actually more so than America and UK who are dumping trillions of dollars into the crapholes that are the war in Afganistan and Iraq.

    And who are you to judge if it's a lavish fake facade or not? The Chinese people, whether they are rich or poor, full or hungry, young or old, all view the Beijing Olympics as a symbol of their national pride, strength and unity. And this, is something that no money can buy.

  • We Chinese have to for their own interests but also for the progress of the whole of Asia, and the Joint India local peoples:

    To dismember India and promote independent nation-states, beginning with Bangladesh.

  • las vegas lights shows at olympics shouldn't be something that bring national pride. preventing tiananmen square massacres, and having free, democratic nation is something to be proud of.

  • Democracy is NOT the best governing system in the world, attempting to impose the same civics on people of different cultures, histories, values, geography and shared common identities does not work, and just prove how ignorant and naive you are.

    100 years ago China was a superannuated state being conquered and colonized by imperialistic and aggressive foreign powers, including US, Britain, Germany, France, Japan,( and probably include your country) etc.

  • of course, evil western idea of democracy don't work on foreign place china where people are too dumb to participate. so, china must adopt marxism-leninism because its is perfect for china's "culture, histories, values, geography and share common identities." yes, marx was a chinese. let me see now. capitalism. that's another foreign idea that wouldn't match chinese culture. western ideas of democracy, capitalism aren't for chinese. but marxist socialism under mao is perfectly china.

  • Your comments demonstrates your ignorance and stupidity on the subject matter perfectly.

    First of all, modern day China isn't socialist and communist, it hasn't been for more than 30 years. In fact, it's more capitalist than western European states. And China never adopted Marxism or Leninism ever in its history, it was actually the main contributing reason why there was a China-Russo Split in the 60s. 

    You should take some history lessons or do some research before you embarrass yourself.

  • here is china's constitution. preamble: "china is under the gudiance of Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought" chp 1, article 1: "china is a socialist state under the people's dictatorship led by the working class and based on the alliance of workers and peasants. the socialist system is the basis of people's republic of china." ch 1 art 6 "the basis of the socialist economy system of china is socialist public ownership of the means of production." read your constitution.

  • CCP claims itself to be communist, but in truth none of its modern policies have anything to do with communism. Communism discourages foreign investments, free market, open competition,etc, and yet look at what China is today.

    China has never been Marxist or Leninist, despite what the constitution claims, it was Maoist, and when Deng Xiaoping came into power in the 70s he imposed moderate economic and social reforms and overthrew the Maoist ideals in China.

    Constitution =/= Reality.

  • if deng came in power during the 1970s why would the people's congress adopted a constitution that states that china is under "the guidance of marxism-leninism" in 1982?

    also if maoist policies and ideals have failed and he was reponsible for the death of 80 million people, why has he not being discredited?

    china =/=reality

  • My point is that despite it claims itself to be, China isn't communist. For example the CCP calls itself the Chinese Communist Party, yet none of its policies are communist in nature. I doubt you even understand what communism means.

    Because if China is communist, there would be no market exchange systems in place, there would be no import and export to the international market, and you wouldn't see so many "Made In China", and all firms would be nationalized.

    Go learn what communism is first

  • your beloved "free market" is in a experimental basis. CCP can at any time can take over the economy. currently, the majority of industries are state owned. agriculture, the largest sector of china, is in fact the state.

    you as a chinese citizen has no say or right in this process. you are told this or that, and you will, like it or not have, to follow. cultural revolution is one day, free market next, and maybe cultural revolution next day. who really knows? for them, who cares.

  • You are pretty ignorant to make an argument out of that.

    The agricultural sector of US is also virtually owned by the government itself, as the entire industry has been surviving on government subsidies since 1937.

    And the largest sector of Chinese economy isn't agriculture, it's secondary industry of manufacturing, which composed almost 50% of the entire GDP.

    You are either very dumb or you haven't actually done any research.

  • And thanks for your concerns over the political and economic welfare of future China, but it isn't necessary, and apparently none of the CEO of multinational corporations in your own country, UK, France, or other Western states share any of your worries.

    Because as of now since 1980s, about 50-100 billion USD were invested into China every year from all the aforementioned countries. This clearly means all of these investors are confident about China's political and economic future.

  • @billjesusgates

    go bum fuck ur mom. o wait, u dont have 1

  • i understand communism as much as a member of your politburo. in order to achievement communism, the state must undergo feudalism, modernalization, capitalism, socialism and communism. looks like china is between step 2 and 3. its time for you to reread "communist manifesto".

  • Actually, Marx and Engels simply described the Communist transition process as a result of the capitalist exploitation of the proletariat, which would cause an uprising and overthrow of the capitalist elites on the social hierarchy, and placing the proletariat in command of the productions.

    So it isn't the 5 steps process as you have stated.

    Chinese market reforms in the 1970s is already a breakaway from communism, and there is no turning back as it is now the world's third largest economy.

  • @billjesusgates

    u understand nothing

  • They claim China is under "the guidance of marxism-leninism" in 1982 because CCP doesn't want to admit that the government centralized economy ultimately failed, and it has to adopt a socialist free market approach.

    Mao was discredited by Deng, but the people's love for Mao is too strong due to decades of indoctrination, and Deng was criticized instead.

    Imagine Obama comes into power, and suddenly tell the Americans that George Washington was secretly racist, sadist, a cannibal and a nazi.

  • @billjesusgates

    bull shit

  • Another example how written civic documents =/= reality.

    US Declaration of Independence stressed that "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

    And yet, George Washington, as well as ALL the signers of the documents possessed slaves. And slavery and racial discrimination in US existed for another 200 years.

  • first of all, not all founding fathers were slavery owners. for example, ben franklin became an abolitionist.

    in 18th century political terms, "men" were white (protestant) land owning males. that was the political context of the time. it took a long and bloody history to include everyone else and no one is denying that.

    OTOH, china's constitution was adopted in 1982 and amended in 2004. terms "marxist-leninism" & "socialism" probably have same meaning as then as now.

  • @billjesusgates

    u r the stupedist bastard in the world

  • @billjesusgates

    u gave birth to gorge bush shithead

  • Idiots like you always propose China to impose democracy, yet you have absolutely no idea what it would result in. Keep in mind that out of her 5000 years of history, the longest in the world, China never had democracy. Why would you expect China to have democracy now? Not to mention that having universal suffrage with 1.3 billion people is just impossible, and a needlessly time and expense consuming extravaganza in such a massive country.

  • china hasn't experienced with communism until the 1950s. so what's your point? china should go back to the feudal state of the past?

  • Political parties and states often claim to be something that are entirely different than the reality.

    For example, North Korea's official full name is Democratic People's Republic of North Korea, Cuba is Republic of Cuba.

    Yet in reality North Korea is a totalitarian state, and Cuba is an authoritarian regime, none of them have anything to do with democracy or republic.

    US claims itself to be the beacon of true democracy, but what it actually has is corporate democracy.

  • @billjesusgates

    o fine. ur Adolf Hitler

  • @billjesusgates

    Europeans INTERNALLY killed over 50 million in World War II, plus 37 million in WWI, plus 1 million in the Civil War...the white race is the greatest killer of the white race.

    Forget Mao, he was a one-hit wonder. Europeans hold the record for longevity. Whites kill people year after year, century after century, and never stop.

  • Fast forward to today's China, it's the third largest economy in the world, fastest growing market in the world, a rising superpower rivaling to US, most dominant military presence in Asia that can virtually defend against any foreign threats, and it has become a modernized country with the capability to put on the most elaborate and amazing Olympics event ever in human history.

    Look at me in the face and tell me it's not something Chinese should proud of.

  • germany 1940 dominated europe with its military, declares its empire will last one thousand years. USSR during the 1960s with more 50 satellite states declares communism the future. nazi germany, USSR, communist china all proud of something or another, while they impose their totalitarian will on their population.

  • If you actually haven't lived in China, you shouldn't comment on topics you aren't familiar with.

    You should check out the definition of "totalitarian", because apparently you don't have the slightest idea what it means.

    China has stricter political restrictions, but it isn't totalitarian.

  • oh really. UN human rights report 2008 stated that china is a major violator of human rights and was described as a "totalitarian state" a number of times. here is good news, north korea is worst china. please google "UN human rights"

  • If China is a totalitarian state, we wouldn't be able to browse on the World Wide web, like what I'm doing now.

    If Chins is a totalitarian state, there would be 0 inflow and outflow of population across our national borders, and you wouldn't see so many Chinese exchange students.

    If Chins is a totalitarian state, there would be no free open market providing consumers with alternate commodity substitutes.

    In simple terms, you don't know shit what "totalitarianism" means.

  • Information and news in Nazi Germany wasn't just censored, it was completely filtered by the state government, and there is no independent or foreign sources of news. China is different

    There were no real exchange student from Nazi Germany, as all of them were in actuality spies working for the party.

    Economy in Nazi Germany were entirely state run, except in German occupied territories in WWII, but they are not to be considered as part of Nazi Germany. Germany also had no international trade

  • Nazi party in Germany discouraged religions, and the German people were indoctrinated to view Hitler, the Fuhrer, into a divine, almost demigod like status. This is not so in China.

    There were also periodic official radio broadcasts by the Nazis in major German cities, and during these broadcasts all German citizens, regardless of circumstances, were expected to stand up and salute to the Fuhrer. Violators would be jailed by the Gestapo. Needless to say, this is not so in China.

  • Nazi Germany also had no foreign capital investments of any kind, and like I have previously mentioned they also had no international trade, this was to make Germany into a self-sufficient state during wartime.

    You may want to relearn history of Nazi Germany. I took an IB course on it.

    Chinese economy also isn't a "pseudo market with oligarchies". It's a mixed economy, just like the majority of economies in the world, including US.

  • @billjesusgates

    thats wat she said

  • "The governmental techniques of a totalitarian regime are necessarily Authoritarian. But a totalitarian regime does much more. It attempts to mold the private life, soul, and morals of citizens to a dominant ideology. The officially proclaimed ideology penetrates into every nook and cranny of society; its ambition is total."

    Lesson of the day?

    China is authoritarian, not totalitarian.

  • According to Democracy Index 2009, China is authoritarian, not totalitarian.

    Like I have previous said, take a course in Political Studies, actually learn what totalitarianism means, then come and talk to me.

    Until then you should just shut the hell up.

  • @billjesusgates

    actually, ur the worst

  • @devilhunterred i have a question

    who do you think is the most known person in the world? isnt it china's general?

  • India is currently the largest populated democratic state in the world, but has democracy actually done anything for India? According to world bank, today more than 40% of Indians are still living beneath the poverty line. In contrast, China the single party state without democracy, reduced its population poverty percentage from 60% to merely 10% in 2004, Chinese GDP per capital and HDI are both higher than India's and developing at a faster rate.

  • @billjesusgates Thats It! Ive had enough of this u dickweed! u are such a father fucking racist! go to hell basterd! and suck on your mothers penis! China is the most greatest country ever and you are spending a week trying to say china sucks! u no nothing more than "alvin and the dickmuncks!"

  • @billjesusgates

    ur jealous and u think the entire charter should be read on the opening ceremonies

  • mao's "red little book" or marx's "communist manifesto"?

  • @devilhunterred how can the uk spend dolllers we spend pounds fool

  • @wightknight121 It's a figure of speech, fool. All currency are generally called as dollars.

  • @devilhunterred Not really. That's just probably you.

  • @34jwik Yes, really.

  • @devilhunterred

    Are you an American? It is a known fact that Americans know nothing about the world. So, not really, that's probably -you- ^^

  • @34jwik You aren't smart enough to check my profile and look at my location, neither are you literate to read that my original comment was a criticism on American government spending.

    Come back and talk to me when you can do both. Then maybe you will get my attention.

  • Whether you like it or not Athens opening ceremony was by far the best! Sydney did not differ from the typical Atlantas's opening, except for the lighting, that was truly amazing! Beijing, was spectacular, Barcelona artistic. But Athens was authentic, "unforgetable, dream", poetic, the way it should be...Athens has been the one and only opening ceremony that "hymned" the human race, the diversity of humanity. Greeks wanted a modest, "doric" celebration, exactly as an athlete's way of life...

    I am expecting a great closing of the Paralympics in Beijing one day after tomorrow (11 Sept).

  • 17 sept.

  • i guess you are not chanting this in front of them. what an embarrassment.

  • I like the fact that the girl from China didnt really even sing their national anthem. Kinda reminds me of Ashley Simpson over here on Saturday night live

  • Actually, that's not the national anthem of China. The next song as the flag went up was.

  • Who cares, I wasnt referring to the song in the vid. lol

  • The girl on camera was so sweet and the girl behind, her voice was angelic. A perfect combination for a GREAT show!

  • I think ppl believes that US media are linked with the US foreign policy in some ways. The media does however plays a role in politics if I may say. This is my point of view. You can totally see there are issues where the US media repeatedly brings China as a subject and not for the good but always for the bad. So are you Chinese or American? I know there are many impostors here who pretends to be a race and bashes the other to bring tensions on amongst them. I pity those who does

  • ...

  • 808 on 8808 wtf?

  • okay okay --- break it up. (lol) i mean to ALL the people below me who are fighting~ every country has good athletes, some are better than others but lets break up the fight here!

  • why does the bbc blast us with the full opening ceremony, yet only allow us 1hour a day for the 'highlights' arn't our handicapped athletes 'good' enough to justify the coverage that was given to the olympic games earlier last month,i have never missed a games since 1964 and enjoy every minute -whatever the dicipline , yet the latest effort on coverage by the bbc is scandalous, why do i bother paying a tv licence !!!!!!!

  • crooky1950: it was not just the bbc which is perenially notorious in China basing. Other uk media were just as wicked - nearly ALL of them - and of course, the american media - led by cnn, almost all prejudiced on China.

  • zeeyeezone: China bashing? Sounds more like FEAR and JEALOUSY of China. If you can't beat them, slander them?

  • banzaidawan:

    You are right but in addition to what you said, there are quite a large population of bigots in uk and the western hemisphere who hold deep rooted racial discrimination against us.

  • zeeyeezone: Well, discrimination is a two-edged sword. It cuts both ways.

  • if only people learned how to respect the other peoples and the other cultures instead of making nonsense by showing ignorance here.

    If you want to know the truth, go there, live there and communicate with local people there instead of listening to what the others tell you.

  • evrything the chinese people has done was fake in the eyes of racist, we never said people r no good, cos chinese is not racist, keep on condemn if you want.

  • the fireworks on the tv screen broadcast by TV networks are actually computer generated

  • polianuno: the CREATIVITY of the show in the whole evening was just insummountable and in vast abundance! the 29 giant footprints, the countdown, the sublime rising of Olympic logo in mid-air, the sweatest face and the sweatest voice joined together singing " Ode to Our Motherland" , the magnificance of the gongs .. the motions of over 2,000 men and their beats in great accord, the prelude to the unfolding of the giagantic scroll ...just brilliant!
