i am impressed, what a moderate view.

china's political future depends on the wish of the chinese people, they do not want neither the Soviet or American model to be imposed on to them, they will adopt the model they want.

If some westerners learn more traditional ideology of China they should stop provoking China by post it on their contradictory side. If Chinese culture is a culture that really encourage invasion and conquer, Chinese ancestors have enough power and time to control the whole Asia, in 1421, their huge navy has arrived Africa, instead of robbing and slaving local people, they kept peaceful trading relationship with Africa tribes, not like what the Europeans have done in their Africa colonies.

@dsperlin you don't have the balls.

@dsperlin yea i agree, when the country is hurting and weak at the time any one in power would do the same thing to keep the people in control.

[dsperlin]

Thats a lame excuse. Hitler, Mao and Stalin killed millions of people so should I do that too?

Chinese don't care about political systems. Chinese cares about money. Whatever system that makes good money is a good system. That's how the communists came into power 60 years ago, only that people eventually found out they were tricked and ended up with no money. Anyway, only stupid Westerners take ideologies so seriously.

[selfsenter]
