How the hell did you get RETURN tickets in China? I lived in Xi'an for 7 months, before that i lived in Changchun and i'll always nostalgically remember waiting in a line for long hours every time i wanted to buy train tickets. You could only buy them 10days in advance and only in a place of departure. Sorry guys, i think you're making that one up. By the way a good guide would tell you that it's always better to go and see the third pit first as the first one is the biggest and most beautiful.
Communism in theory can be established based on a solid economy foundation. China obviously has not that much of money to go "communism". But I do think the so called freedom is kind of mid way solution and will be replaced somehowi am talking about the real democratic countries not US. Communism will come true, just as CCP said, it may take centuries. I agree with that. And I do not think their only intention is to keep the power. So far what they did is good for the country, not only the party
Haha, I think the only thing that is hard to find in modern China is your term of "Communist". Actually, to most Chinese people, Communist is not an evil world/concept at all. It's just an idealism which was poorly practiced and not achievable in reality.
By the way, to many Chinese, "Democracy" is not so divine either.
Correct about the communism thing. I used it as an expression because that's what everyone expects you to say. "Communist China", "The Red Mother", etc. In reality you would be hard pressed to find communism here. There are some exclusive housing developments near my apartment, across the street from the shanties, and OH BOY does the class division stick out! China is as capitalist as they get, "communism" being a good story to feed the people to prevent them from demanding rights and freedoms.
Democracy as such is also hard to find around the world. For example, in the US (the self-proclaimed champion of democracy) it seems the government is only responsive to the needs of the rich and is ready to lie, cheat, and kill for them. Canada seems to be a bit better off. Norway, Sweden, and a handful others did get it. In the end, I think a spoiled democracy is better than a fake communism. At this point CPC seems only concerned with keeping itself in power.
In the end I think all political systems have their faults. The problem I see here is that 1.2 billion people are essentially "kept" by a non-representative government. CPC did achieve some good stuff in this country but I think now is time to pick up the rest of Sun Yat-Sen's thought and finish the job without the excess luggage of propaganda and coertion.
Are you not allowed to play the drum?
