First thing first,
I, for the record, apologise to S 10 for mistakening him as a false flag Indian, for however short period of time. Well, he is a Chinese,
and just made some darn good points here that I agree with, though not in full.
I see
i)
On Confucius and Traitors : irrelevant to the decline of power, for Confucianism is only a tool which could have been any other and Traitor is a crucial factor in pretty much every declining powers in world history since time immemorial. They are not the problems.
ii)
On skinheads & treatment of foreigners: not the point, again. If one is intrinsically strong, both moral and technical, then he doesn’t need to shave his head and cross dressing like a pimp to express his feelings (Nazi Germany was under a VERY special historical circumstances thus doesn’t count here) , but more often than not carries a big stick and talks mildly. On the other hand, one is more likely to pull such stunts if one is truly weak inside.
Hence this general Zhang Zhao Zhong is talking some pretty messy sh!t here.
iii)
On systems: What general Zhang is right however is that China must change.
But not into Nazism, neither Democracy as he puts it as a blunder, for Democracy is THE worst kind of government system one could possiblely have ( from Aristotle all the way to Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin... even Churchill etc, etc most of white intellectual elites in different disciplines across time ditched Democracy – prior to earlier 20th century Jewish political elites-led drastic ideological movements such as communism, sex revolution, equalitarianism, universal Human Rights, Celebrating Diversity/mass Immigrations, and , of course, Democracy ) .
Democracy panders the mass with romantic ideals that all humans, every one and every race, are equally capable of making informed, unbiased and the optimal hence the best decisions, which is patently false except in already highly developed societies (high IQ) with very homogeneous population -- that limits to several Northern European countries and probably a bit of Japan.
In general and in précis, Democracy ensures celebrating mediocrity which China has had sheer luck to have avoided it, even though not out of intention – here came Mao. Mao is good all in all in that “accidentally” his revolution ruthlessly gave China a clean, albeit poor, slate – a fresh start as to speak after centuries of all kinds of illness. In the same vein CPC was good in that it eradicated some of the worst illness (i.e. superstitions, illiteracy etc) after a string of social unrests and wars with the collapse of Qing. CPC has greatly facilitated China’s early economic/military rise while maintaining reasonable social orders … all these look fine…
…yet CPC is exactly where goes wrong at the moment!
Before I explain why drawbacks of CPC are where the OP should have complained about , I will list what I believe
some major reasons why China became weak firstly:
-- nothing special, as Taoism says that all powers rise and fall, so was and will be China – many “reasons” were just NATURAL in nature.
-- Average IQ fell over centuries : endless peasant revolutions, Mongols, Manchus killed off many many high IQ ruling elites/and his genes of all sorts; emperors with their Capital punishments in relation to the whole family/clan; “foreign”, particularly southern China, tribes assimilation; first-cousin marriage didn’t help either… China has experienced centuries of unintended dysgenics as a result = average IQ dropped!
-- most importantly of all : Man-made dysgenics due to lack of fairer social system. Here let me continue with my previous CPC argument:
some emperors could be good, while other were definitely suicidal. Any elite who disagrees with the system got maimed, any nail sticks out get hammered down or just taken out completely. This applies to both Imperial China and CPC China. The result is the ruling elites of both societies have been increasingly consisted of people with 2nd or 3rd tier of IQ competitiveness which will yield dramatic, long term and irreversible social impacts: wealth distribution unfairness, corruption, social incompetence (think origin of inferiority-complex), waste of resources, social injustice, decay of the mass morale, disintegration of the culture, disloyalty of people ( e.g. think “traitors” here)… eventually, but definitely, the collapse of the Nation!
Thus China can not just trust an individual leader no matter how great he is.
China must develop and trust a system ( don’t givme democracy crap here), a system that naturally fits with high IQ societies, a system that has in-built check and balance of power which CPC China devoid of.
The current system therefore must be changed or hugely improved to reflect social justice for China to progress beyond $10,000 GDP per cap (nominal) as empirical evidences suggest.
As turkeys don't vote for X-mas, you may be unwise to expect CPC to fix its own power grab madness itself. But to be fair, no western political party I know of could fix that either on its own.
What system then suits a 105 average IQ society like China?
Ideally, a true traditional Republican (Western), with downright Legalism (Chinese) based on some core Confucianism foundation(Chinese) & a generous touch of Nationalism (Chinese & Western) , I reckon.
(To fasiclitate the improvement/change, I 'd even go further to suggest that China might need a universal symbol - a temporal King, or Queen ( A Ming Emperor's bloodline ? ) with no power but just to hold the nation together for a whille, to avoid the power void. )
