Xi Jinping to UN General Assembly: "Democracy is not special right reserved for an individual country"

[M.Bison]

Lived a long time there, have family there. Trump refused to concede and it cost lives.

Just because you repeat something doesn't make it true. Anyways, good day Sir.

So you got CPC members are electing NPC members.

Dude there is a CPC person in every village and in every apartment building, that is pretty scary ! Your theory about 500 million Chinese tourists do not hold water. It is more like 150 million, still a huge number comrade !
The problem is Chinese social credits. If their social credits are clipped, then these folks won't be allowed to fly on airplane anymore. So if they do something that annoys CPC, they may not be allowed to travel to foreign nations.

You see, you don't know anything about China.
The National People's Congress is not elected by the Communist Party, but by all citizens. Only 20.54% of NPC deputies are communists.
Secondly, social credits is only related to financial records. Only those who do not repay their debts will be on the social credits blacklist and are prohibited from high consumption.

You see, almost all the information your media tell you is lies. Now do you understand why the Chinese despise your so-called democracy?


BTW: China has 90 million Communists, 80 million members of the Communist Youth League and 140 million young pioneers. With a population of 1.4 billion, China has 310 million Communist parties at all levels. So not every building has a Communist Party, but every family has a Communist Party.

The free world was concerned about America's stability under Trump. Good day to you too.

Let's be real. The US is an oligarchy where a small elite class of billionaires control all wings of the government and media. There is an illusion of choice and freedom, but try to challenge the power of the establishment and see what happens to your reputation, your livelihood and status in society. Now with all these arbitrary rules and laws connected to this politically instigated virus, we are heading towards an authoritarian society on par with China's, except China doesn't pretend it isn't authoritarian.

 

[nang2]

Now we need to educate people about good governance, the rights of people and of individuals [in homes and in schools]. This is lacking. Don't need nationalist, racist, and ideological nutjobs.

You are fooled to believe that good education can prevent you from being fooled.

US started with a small elite class controlling all wings of government. That has never changed. What has changed or grown is the reach of government, funded by taxpayers' money. That is not the fault of those elites because they have pretty much behaved in the same way. The fault is with American people, a race of independent, liberty cherishing people now degenerated into a clan that depends and craves for government hang-outs, which is all to the delight of those elites who finally master the art of bribing people with people's money.

Humans are far from perfect. Never expect 100% results from humans 100% of the time. Machines can be perfect, and even they break down. Value and moral oriented education increase likelihood of producing good characters, good leaders, good governance, respect for rights and critical thinkers.

So don't expect them to be righteous or you will be soon disappointed.

Governance is the only thing that matters, not what label you give the political system. Democracy, Communism, Monarchy, Dictatorship. End goal in whatever political system you have is good governance of the country. China is the best governed country by far. No other country is even remotely close to the brilliance of China’s governance model. China has continued to improve the system over the years. It is a system that works. It works so well the West is panicking.

The West fears China because how well China is governed. 1.4 billion disciplined and educated people in a well governed country is the worst nightmare of the West. Look at all the chaos and failures in so many countries around the world and compare that to China.

As usual, it is just an emotionally charged comment, such as over-exaggerated and self-comforting words like "fear". The West simply recognizes the increasing influence exerted by China and they don't like what they see. But "fear"? Come on. Being an adult, will you?

I am being realistic. But you expect 100% result or none at all.

 

[nang2]

I am being realistic. But you expect 100% result or none at all.

I am simply being more realistic. If government acts well, that is a bonus. If it doesn't, I am not disappointed and my system is well protected against their misbehavior. That is why I prefer a very limited government whose sphere of influence is strictly circumscribed and absolutely necessary. Any attempt of power expansion, regardless how good politicians' intentions are, is viewed with suspicion.

You, on the other hand, have more expectation from government. Therefore, you will more likely be disappointed.

We will have to disagree. Any government or corporation needs the kind of people I talked about. And I mentioned theoretical obligations of government in a few sentences earlier. It was not much.

And I regard it as wishful thinking.

 

[Pandora]

That is very weird. Landing a government position means a person is an elite. In a way, governing setups are always made up by elites. They are not reserved for elites. They are elites. Why would anyone want to be governed by some non-elite? Here, I use the US definition of "elite":

US : a person who is a member of an elite : a successful and powerful person

That is how modern governance systems are setup. A person who has money and power can easily find his way into top office. This has not always been the case with democracy. Originally people who strived for a democratic setup were lower to middle class people with representatives from same class. Now that is not the case as the entire process has been made so expensive that a normal person cant even fathom to contest. No one can contest an election unless they has few million dollars to throw around in campaigns.

Democracy has turned "Dakucracy".
