Democracy in China? Depends on the outcome....

The Imperial Family , for most of its 2500 of existence, has had a religious-political clout. The Emperor of Japan was considered divine , officially and politically, since it is recorded that the first Imperial ancestor was the grandson of the sun goddess, Amaterasu Omikami. Thus the Emperor was , literally, above politics.

If Japanese emperor is not politically affiliated, why does he meet foreign political leaders regularly ?


However, in Japanese Shinto Religion, the Emperor is still considered the descendent of the Sun goddess, Amaterasu Omi Kami.

So Japanese emperor is more like Roman Pope, but without the power like Pope had during medieval age.

The Emperor is the Symbol of the State. Technically the Japanese Parliament is His Parliament, as they are the physical representative of the people of Japan whom the Emperor is considered the Symbolic Father of the Nation. His position is more so above Politics, more so like the Monarchy in England, with less the drama.

Yes, you can say that. The Emperor has a symbolic role in government, but his religious role is real, in the Shinto sense. He is considered Chief Priest of the Shinto Religion and invokes prayers to the Gods on behalf of the entire Nation. This is a role of the Emperor that is unbroken for over 2 Millennia.
 
I talked to some Japanese suppliers about the emperor...
They said they know the Emperor is the spirit leader of Japan but they actually don`t care much.
Emperor is too far away from them..

In fact, people can visit the Imperial Palace. The Emperor makes regular views with the public.

He is generally well loved by the people. He's the Father of the Nation, symbolically and spiritually.

After WWII, the Soviet wants Japanese Emperor removed, but the US wants to keep the Emperor for some reason

The institution of the Imperial Household was kept to keep the peace , as Japanese people during the war were vehemently loyal to the Emperor. If the Emperor was to be molested at all, this would have enraged the entire Nation. Its been quite a successful effect, imho.
 
Really? It is very interesting to see how people see the Emperor .
You must love him very much..
Not sure about others..
I mean they do respect the Emperor, yet Emperor has little influence on them..

China is home to majority of Mongoloid race. CCP is making China a policy of extinction. It can be proven that

Proposition:
"by having only 1 child forever, any group of population will face extinction. They will extinct in log_2 (#number of population) generation. If each generation is n years, then they will extinct in n log_2(#number of population) years"

I will leave the prove to readers. (Coz I can't hahaha)

what is wrong if china turns into a caucasian nation? isn't that an evolution? what if chinese boys marry caucasian girls making the future generation chinese to be caucasian in appearance?

Ummm. Good difficult question.

Let me start like this.
- There are absolutely nothing wrong about future generation change in appearance by peaceful marriage en mass.
- It is unlikely that all or even majority of 1.4 Billion people will do so.
My previous post intention is not to try to be correct in all cases equally. The (very) less likelihood scenario you ask is outlier to my intention.


My post was about CCP policy is an extinction of a major subset of Mongoloid.
The propose of nation state is for races that compose into a nation to survive. Therefore CCP policy is a bad policy.
That's all my intention.

It is not to say that Caicasian is bad or good.
 
Interesting post by the OP. But I would would like to see a deeper analysis.

People here often talk about "The Chinese system" or "the western democratic system". But I think these labels are too generalised and simple. What is the "Chinese system"? does it refer to the style of PRC governance? or does it refer to the overall encompassing social mechanism that underpins the Chinese society? If it is this mechanism, then we can only analyse it by breaking it further down into different parts and elements and analyse them separately. A society, including its governance mechanism, is complex and if we don't analyse them at a deeper level, then our analysis can be flawed.

For example, the original article mentions the low crime rates in the PRC, which is true. Then it seems to make a cause-effect correlation between crime rates and the style of governance, i.e. "The Chinese System". However, is the low crime rates in the PRC an effect/consequence of its government? their justice system? or is there are factors, such as culture, that give rise to low crime rate? What about other country, (S Korea or Japan or Qatar) , with low crime rates? is it the result of their government or are there other factors such as, cultural, economical or religious factors? I'm not saying PRC crime rates is not a result of CCP or their governance. I'm asking whether their are other important factors that needs to be taken into consideration. Because if there is, our analysis would be flawed without taken them into consideration. It wouldn't be right to just say "the Chinese system" produced low crime rates. That would be too generalised and oversimplified.

So it is very important to break down the the complex social mechanism and governance into its different parts, rather than just starting from the generalised notion of "the Chinese system" and trying to make correlations from there. It is especially important when trying to identify and correct negative elements in society.

Consider the next example of bribe and corruption used in the OP. Is corruption in the PRC caused by "the Chinese system"? is the lower corruption rate in Western democracy the results of their" democratic system"? due to their more "transparent" system as always argued by some people? Or are there other, more specific factors in society?

I personally think that the average Japanese civilian is more honest than the average civilian from the PRC. But is this the result of their government? or is it the result of other social factors? I'm not sure, but I think it would be too generalised to say this Government system produce more honest people and that Government produce more corrupt people. To have a proper analysis, we must try to find these deeper and more specific factors.

This also mean that we shouldn't make the generalised notion of "the western democratic system either" (or any other system). There are some good things about the western "system". But we need to look and analyse it in their deeper, more specific elements. If those specific elements are good, then adopt them if they are appropriate. If there are bad elements in your government, then identify them and eliminate them. I never liked the debate about "this system" vs "that system". This system have achieved this and that, and that system failed this and that. Societies and their governance style is so much more complex and we should analyse it on a deeper level in their more fundamental parts and elements. That's why we need specialists who are not only political theorists, but we also need sociologist, anthropologist, economists, statisticians, psychologists and heck, even philosophers.
