Re: People's Republic of China Nov 22, 2009

I see only three reasons for this behavior of CPC, 1. Either its hiding something from its own population under the cloak of preserving unity and stability. I don't know what they're hiding. So we're both guessing at this point. 2. CPC does not trusts the intelligence of average Chinese and feels t...

Re: People's Republic of China Nov 22, 2009

I also don't think, we should be in the business of trying to convert others to liberal democracy. That's their problem, their issue. This is also the GoI policy. Be it CPC or KMT, they both would have gone about in a similar way if the national interests were involved. A Mao or Deng could have bel...

Now that's funny! First, don't let any alternative to CCP build up.
