Marcos and his cronies ruled for 30 years. If dictatorship worked Philippines would have become a developed economy during that time, instead of the main source of Housemaids for the gulf.
I can't think of a single dictatorship anywhere that has been successful in the long term. If i have I missed some, I'll be happy to correct.
The jury is still out on China and the Chinese people certainly paid a big price for the economic success of the last few decades.
My question to you is , if China had been a democracy why do you think China would not have been even more successful?
And the Chinese people would not have been starved, killed, forced into abortions, laid off in mass.
You may have had a successful economy and freedom. Why do you think that is not possible?
I wonder why you American Indians think China is a dictatorship country.
I also need to remind you: The biggest sign of a dictator is that he will pass on power to his relatives or descendants.
You say that China is a dictatorship, but the descendants of Mao Zedong are historians, and the successor of Mao Zedong is Deng Xiaoping.
The descendants of Deng Xiaoping are the staff of the disabled persons' Federation, and the successor of Deng Xiaoping is Jiang Zemin.
Jiang Zemin's descendants are engineering professors, and Jiang Zemin's successor is Hu Jintao.
Hu Jintao's descendant is a tour guide, Hu Jintao's successor is Xi Jingping, and Xi Jingping's daughter is a researcher at the Translation Institute.
China has never had two Bush presidents, two Adams presidents, two Harrison presidents and so on.
The capital of China is called Beijing, neither Mao Zedong nor Deng Xiaoping. The capital of the USA is called Washington.
Look at how many officials in the Indian&USA govt have passed on their rights to their descendants.
I really don't know how shameless you American Indians have to be to dare to accuse the Chinese govt of dictatorship.
India&USA, two country full of nepotism and political families, has the face to accuse China of dictatorship. First of all, like China, you should have no political family, and then discuss the issue of dictatorship with us.
