Hu did not want to be the President

While Chinese President Hu Jintao was in Japan, he was asked by a student during a school visit, "Grandpa Hu, why do you want to be President?"

After the laughter subsided, Hu replied: "I want to tell you, I myself did not want to be the President. It was the people in the whole country who voted me in and wanted me to be the President. I should not let the people throughout the whole country down."

China is an interesting country because they seem to follow the philsophy that liberalism is provided in a controlled manner to replace the no longer needed conservativism, as people do not always need to be content with what they have because it is possible to improve their lives.

Chairman Hu is a well respected man

China has her own way of understanding democracy. I ask you understand more about about China's political system. I do not deny that the system is not yet mature as we are still a developing nation, however our commitment to democracy is genuine. Stop doubting if China or Singapore are democracies or not. You can find out what the great Lee Kuan Yew has to say about Asian political systems.

That you don't called democratic, only some are allowed to vote, this reminds me of the phrase some are more equal than others in animal farm.

It is shameful for the CCP to call it a democratic system in fact a dictatorship.

I disagree, China does not have the rule of law. The Communist Party is always above the law and can change or reinterprete the laws as they want it to be.

Yes, China is very different to other democratic countries, the system it has imposed is a undemocratic, one party autocriatic system.

A free country does not have something called a propaganda department.

The government not serve for the people, by the people, of the people, it has always been above the people

Hu does not personally go into violation of human rights or impose media censorship. China has her own laws and regulations different from the West and the implimentation of these laws and regulations should not be seen as violation of human rights. As for the media, the Central Propaganda Commission is charged of it and not Hu himself.

Never heard of a US Parade Magazine. Maybe it is a far-right unprestigeous political tabloid. People do not vote for him but he is chosen by the people on the principles of the People's Representative system, a democratic institution unique to China. Hu is elected by the CCP session to being top cadre while it was the National People's Congress that elected him to be President. He is NOT appointed by the CCP to being President.

Even a 3 year old boy in China can tell you people do not vote for Hu, he is appointed by the Communist Party.

According to US Parade Magazine in 2009, Hu Jintao was ranked the top 6 dictator of the world. He violates human rights and imposes media and internet censorship, in order to eleminate all opposition of the Communist Party.
