A chinese forum , where they criticise CCP..

TRANSLATED QUOTE of an anon poster

China's biggest shortcoming is the one-party system, without supervision. Monitor themselves only feasible in the case. That is, there are other forces pose a threat to their survival. For example, Wang Lijun case, regardless of the official talk about, even though some may be true, can not believe, because they fail to prove. You said today was uncovered Wang Lijun engage in torture to extract confessions, but this came to light itself may be a fake. Wen Qiang, before his death say they are deserved, but he also said that he knew than his darker, more corruption, his death will not expose, because if he told the truth, his wife and son with him to death. Wen Qiang died 4 hours closeted with the Wang Lijun, and told Wang Lijun, his fate will be worse than their own. Blacks worse, certainly not Bo Xilai, that he who would be? Communist China in the reform and development process, the size of the officials took the opportunity to corruption, and from generation to generation, the more the greater the greed, getting dark, and the power struggle within the bucket constantly, but also to deceive the people for their political stand and support. The drawbacks of one-party system more clearly the situation Chu, way out of China is democratic reform, if not changed, official corruption and the disparity between the rich and the poor social contradictions will become increasingly intense struggle within the Communist Party as the struggle for power will become increasingly sinister , resulting in continuous social unrest. Go on like this the people will rebel.

There is a joke going round in some panda forums-

Prison

Prisoner 1 -- I am here for opposing bo

Prisoner 2- I am here for supporting bo

Both 1 & 2 to prisoner 3.

What are you here for ?

Prisoner 3: I am Bo

Very good question. Let's build on that, shall we? Why do the Chinese keep complaining about the "two centuries of humiliation" or whatever at the hands of the Europeans? The Europeans got what they wanted - they got rich off of China. The ends justify the means, no? If any Europeans were uncomfortable with the way their brothers were treating the Chinese, all they had to do was emigrate (to China? LOL). Or maybe "ends justifying the means" only applies to the Chinese?

More to the point - if tomorrow, some other imperial power, like the USA were to take over China (God forbid, and all that), and to begin plundering China all over again, would that be ok, since the "ends justify the means?" After all, Americans are getting rich, and that should be a desirable end for them, no? If any Americans are uncomfortable with treating the Chinese that way, all they have to do is emigrate (instead of protesting against their government policies). Would that be ok with you Chinese?

Dear Chinese, when you steal IP from others who have worked hard to develop it, you do cause a net loss for them. So whose ends justify the means? Yours, or theirs? Their ends are negative because of your means.

Well, we in India have these concepts that only righteousness will triumph, and truth will be victorious, etc. No doubt China also imbibed those concepts, through their already existent Confucianism, or through Buddhism, which spread from India. Here's something for you Chinese posters to think about. The old concepts of righteousness and truth, are the *same thing* as your "ends justify the means," just that these concepts think about the ends thousands of years later, as opposed to you guys, who think of short term ends ten or twenty years down the road. In other words, if you want the ends to be favorable to you even thousands of years down the line, you *have to* abide by the concepts of righteousness and truth.

My guess is, that India and China managed to survive for thousands of years, through Islamic and European depredations, because of our commitment to righteousness. Those are the desirable ends. India today is trying to stay true to those ideals. China is not. We'll see how the ends turn out.

Yes, Japan did get punk a$$ on China and it got Nuked directly for it => TWICE. Quick history lesson: Japan goes punk a$$ on China, US embargoes Japan because of China atrocities, Japan Pearl Harbors US as a response, US fires bombs Japan to hell using incendiaries and tops it off with two fresh Nukes. Sounds good to me. I think the Japanese learned their lesson and I don't think they are going to go punk a$$ on anybody else in our lifetimes.

None of this changes my point. Most, if not all, of Japan's major economic achievements were during a pre-war military dictatorship, post-war military occupation or 1 Party post-war government. Colonialism in China/Japan/Asia has nothing to do with it and isn't even relevant to this discussion. You guys LOVE straw men. The people in Japan and Korea don't care how they became rich, just that they are rich. Park Chung-Hee isn't even talked about in Korea today, even though they owe him everything. Remember, South Korea in 1955 was poorer than EVERYBODY and what Curtis LeMay did to Korean civilians was genocide.

Nice historical revisionism going on here. Japan had nukes dropped on it because it invaded China ?

Had they just stuck to invading China and not attacked the US on Dec 7 1941, they'd have just been left to loot the mainland, as they were generally enabled to do for an entire decade from the early 1930s. From a Chinese perspective there wasn't any such thing as WW2 - there had been fullscale warfare going on around the country since a decade prior, including such events as Chang Zheng (long march) and subsequently the Mukden (Shenyang) Incident and Japanese takeover. Too bad Tojo and co didn't take heed of Adm.Yamamoto's warning about waking up a sleeping giant (the US).

As much as the US had interests in China and more so elsewhere around the PacRim (e.g. Philippines), it wasn't prepared to initiate war with Japan over it at the time. Domestic political opinion of the kind now enabling such wars did not exist then, more so in the aftermath of the Great Depression. If anything, it had far more interests in Europe, yet stayed out until after Pearl Harbor. History shows that while the US was a willing material contributor to the allied cause in both WW1 and WW2, it took a major attack (e.g. the Lusitania in WW1, Pearl Harbor in WW2) to turn public opinion enough. Absent Dec 7 '41, the US would certainly have materially backed China, but open warfare ? Unlikely. Do Chinese really believe the US nuked Japan to punish it for Nanjing/Unit 731 etc ? Seriously ?

US nuked Japan because of pearl harbor. Pearl harbor happened because of US oil embargo against Japan. US oil embargo was because Japan went punk a$$ in China. It's a series of cause and effect.

Several years too late - Roosevelt signed the embargo in July 1941 - China had already been under Japanese rule for several years, with atrocities like Nanjing already known. Pearl Harbor attack was not an isolated attack either - it was an early gambit of the Japanese Dutch East Indies campaign, focused on grabbing the Indonesian oilfields. Pearl Harbor itself was to cripple the Pacific Fleet to prevent them from retaliating, though they forgot the carriers and hit the battleships.

July 1941 is before Pearl Harbor. Before that "In 1940, Japan invaded French Indochina in an effort to control supplies reaching China. The United States halted shipments of airplanes, parts, machine tools, and aviation gasoline, which was perceived by Japan as an unfriendly act." Clearly a series of cause and effect and escalating to Japan getting Nuked and occupied. Again, no one believes Japan has the appetite or demographics to go "punk a$$" on anybody else today.

See, this is the difference between your short-term view and long-term views. You look at the present, and you say "nothing has happened to China until now, we are fine, the ends have justified the means." You don't see it as an evolving situation, which will continue to evolve over the next 10, 50, or 200 years. And I'm telling you that in the long term, there will always be consequences. Always. And yes, I do know that the Tibet situation started 50 years ago, in 1959.

I'm sure the Japanese were similarly laughing at their critics in the late 30's or early 40's, saying "we got away with it, the ends have justified the means." Not to mention the British in 19th century India or China.

Have a nice day, saar. As you yourself would say, no point discussing this further. Your short-term-gain paradigm is very different from my (or the Indian) view of things.

Oh, a sanction here and an embargo there, and a wink and a nod to KMT, a lend-lease program elsewhere... was all the US was inclined upon at the time. Keep in mind that 5 years after nuking Japan, the US was busy helping Japan rebuild and turn into Asia's postwar economic powerhouse through massive trading orders and supplies requests, while on the task of fighting a war with... China. By your logic we could tenuously argue that the US bombed Hiroshima/Nagasaki so it could later kill a few million Chinese conscripts. Cause and effect, and all that.

No, no, no. That is your logic. It certainly isn't mine. The Korean War isn't part of WWII, at least not in any text book I've ever scene. WW2, US was fighting fascism. Korean War, US was fighting a proxy war against communism. Not the same ballpark. Not even the same sport.

Second ? Never mind the fact that you pick just one of two conflicts, it's not even definitively considered the beginning of WW2 - the invasion of Poland by the Wehrmacht in Sept 1939 is the standard definition. China had been roiled in internal civil war and intermittently fighting the Japanese much before that, but that was at best a local conflict no one else got involved with directly, beyond token gestures.

Local conflict?? Is that what your education system teaches you??

The start of WW2 is debatable, but the end of the Pacific Theater of WW2, V-J Day, is not.

The clearest indicator that the 2nd Sino-Japanese War (yes 2nd, the first was over Korea) is not a "local conflict" and part of WW2 is China's permanent security council seat with veto power in the United Nations. Either the ROC or the PROC has always held it. This has always been considered a WW2 victor's club (American terminology, not mine). Seriously, what kind of history do they teach in your country??

Your ability to debate is really questionable. Inserting words in my mouth is just intellectually dishonest. Saying China didn't fight in WW2, as someone here claims, is just factually wrong. I never said Hiroshima was to avenge Nanking. I said Japanese atrocities lead to American sanctions which then lead to Pearl Harbor. All in the same conflict. No Korean War, No Vietnam War, No 1962 or any other lame straw man you can drag in.

As for emigration. According to the World Bank, more Indians took the advice to leave than anyone other than Mexicans...

The Sino-Japanese war was a local conflict until Dec 7 '41 conspired to turn Japan into someone else's wartime enemy, not because the atrocities in mainland China, as regrettable as they were, made China an ally. While the US and UK fought a ground war in Europe, Africa, Middle East and even SE Asia, it didn't fight one in China - it just threw Chiang a few bones to keep the Japanese busy with. The one major country in Asia that did stop the Japanese in their tracks in all out war was, of course, India.

Had the Japanese responded by just being a nuisance to US PacRim interests the way US embargoes were to them, the US domestic political opinion would not have gained sufficient force to fight a war. Ditto for them attacking British interests directly.

Separating one from the other because of some politicial fluff about cause is just laughable. V-J day was merely a milestone, it didn't dissipate the underlying stressors that led to the initiation of the Cold War, which directly led to the Korean War, which in turn saw the US assisting Japan's rapid economic ascent as they supplied the coalition forces fighting China.

Well done piling up the trolling credits, by the way. Seek and you shall find

+100. It is indeed being taught and is very similar to the manufactured history that's taught in Pakistan. No wonder they are traller than mountains, dleeper than oceans friends.

Actually we all forgot to ask Wong one central question. That is both Mainland and Taiwan have a shared history as far as depredations against the country goes. Yet why is it that from a very early period Taiwan showed more innovation and got rich faster than the Mainland?

Well, the Japanese response to the embargoes was Pearl Harbor (what I've been saying for like the 5th time) and the rest, as they say, is history.

You are the product of the Indian education system. I'm the product of the American education system (K-Grad). Considering the US was the most important participant in WW2, I'll take the US version of history over some Indian text book, thank you very much.

US text books teach us about Wellesley-educated Madame Chiang, Doolittle's Raid, Flying Tigers and General Stilwell, etc. This is American history textbooks taught to all American school children. They also mention the massive Indian defections to the Japanese side after the fall of Hong Kong and Singapore (I guess your textbooks skipped over that part) and Indian nationalists trying to join Hitler (Subhas Chandra Bose). Do Indian textbooks skip over the Hitler parts?? I'm seriously curious.

So you can minimalize the Chinese contribution to WW2 all you want. The proof is in the pudding, China's UNSC seat. And it's Indian urban legend that India was ever asked to join the UNSC. Think about it logically. The Indian defections plus that Hitler-thing, the British, for one, weren't going for any of it. Prove me wrong...

The UNSC is a WW2 victor's club that Japan in the 1990s couldn't buy their way in nor can India plead/beg its way in today.
