  • People who use "chink" in their sentence should not be allowed to post any comment, or BREED.

  • Chinese have always been corrupted, no matter under the Qing dynasty, the Nationalists and Now the Communists. It is a human condition and as much as a political one. We still do not have a good foundation and hardly any tradition in Democracy. Sun Yat-sen tried but China was too poor and too turbulent. It was a weak nation with no strong democratic tradition, and a breeding ground for dictatorship. Mao had unified China with a lot of blood letting and a iron fist. Not a follower of Sun Yat-Sen.

  • Several generations of scholarly thought on revolutions have generated many competing theories and contributed much to the current understanding of this complex phenomenon.

  • Scholarly debates about what does and does not constitute a revolution center around several issues. Early studies of revolutions primarily analyzed events in European history from a psychological perspective, but more modern examinations include global events and incorporate perspectives from several social sciences, including sociology and political science.

  • Revolutions have occurred through human history and vary widely in terms of methods, duration, and motivating ideology. Their results include major changes in culture, economy, and socio-political institutions.

  • A revolution (from the Latin revolutio, "a turn around") is a fundamental change in power or organizational structures that takes place in a relatively short period of time. Aristotle described two types of political revolution:

    -

    + 1.) Complete change from one constitution to another

    -

    + 2.) Modification of an existing constitution

    -

  • All nations are corrupt to some extent. It didn't help that China had been thoroughly thrashed and cut up by western powers due to colonialism. This is basically a story of China trying to find what's right for itself in a shifting world and going to extremes means it tends to fail--

  • i thought the chinese and japanese hated eachother, much less trade with eachother.

  • there's no place for any sort of western style democracy in the prc. china's traditions are completely different as are muslim countries traditions equally different. can't we respect it?

  • So thankful for this video... its gonna help me so much on my research paperr.

  • @Lim23S what china needs first is to dissolve the ccp. then they can start over with a true democratic process. bring all the parties on taiwan to the mainland and conduct free elections and simply let the people decide what they want, instead of the commuists telling them what they will have. until the ccp dissolves or is defeated somehow, china will never be democratic. the ccp has no right to taiwan. it was never theirs'. by treaty of san francisco its a u.s. territory
