@SuperFloyd187 They're better friends than the West.

@sosokjl I notice you say you're from the USA. Is that because you're afraid your government might find out you're misusing the internet?

[sosokjl]

@TheLiberalKnight Bla bla bla... Whatever...

[TheLiberalKnight]

@sosokjl Don't critize the west because China has only become successful when they adopted western institutions in the 1970s.

[sosokjl]

@TheLiberalKnight Ok whatever.

[TheLiberalKnight]

@sosokjl China is going to be an economic super power in the next 10 years whether you like it or not, that comes with global responsibility.

Your government is building the Chinese military up at an accelerating rate. They have every intention of being a super power.

China has developed in every aspect except politics and higher education. You need political freedom to have successful universities.

[sosokjl]

@TheLiberalKnight Umm.. Please dude, when did Chinese government ever said anything about China will be a superpower? That is not Chinese goal to be a superpower, its only goal is to grow its economy. So please dont force China to be a Superpower. So we do not need a western style democracy. You obviously dont know nothing about the pace of chinese development and how Chinese thinks because your not chinese, so its pointless arguing with you. So bye

[TheLiberalKnight]

@sosokjl Democracies have always been, and will always be more successful than dictatorships. Because there is no political freedom in China, all of your universities are terrible, whereas the west still rules supreme in higher education.

Without debate, societies cannot develop. China will never be the world super power unless it becomes a democracy.

If all political power is held at the top, higher education cannot develop and trade cannot develop.

We'll see in 30 year's time.

So i am not wrong after all for saying you western nation is built on nothing but exploitation and destroying other nations. Just go visit that WIKI link i gave you Those are just SOME LIST, NOT ALL

[sosokjl]

@TheLiberalKnight Your obviously brainwash, your democracy is nothing more than like the outer layer of a red shinning apple, inside the apple its nothing but rotten shits.

[sosokjl]

@TheLiberalKnight So no one is that blind to blindly follow western democracy. Please also look at history of USA CIA going around the world overthrowing democracy, and setting up dictagors. Also your british destroying innocence country in 1953 by requesting USA to do so, No one trust you west, please go read history. en( . )wikipedia( . )org/wiki/Covert_United_States­_foreign_regime_change_actions
