Are you somehow suggesting that it’s not Tibetans but in fact the western media who reject the Chinese colonisation of Tibet?
Colonization? You mean like US "colonization" of Hawaii and the souther states? :lol:
Or even worse, perhaps you mean like Spanish "colonization" of the Basque region?
The fact is that Tibet has been part of China for a long time, longer than the US have existed, and have recently had their attempts at BREAKING away from China, just like Basque has tried in Spain. Both are rebel populations in a region where the majority doesnt necessarily support indpendence, and where such is historically incorrect.
Like I said also, personally I support greater regionalism in Europe, but China is nowhere near Europe in such a maturity that it can even think about such things. But heck, then again, I support Californian independence or indepenence of many regions both in Europe and the US. Not exactly mainstream like all the wrong bickering about Tibet, just because western politics through media brainwashing is trying to wage war against a China they fear.
In regard to Tiannamen Square, where could a government kill and maim a couple of thousand students and remain in power. Surely not in a democracy. When you say “necessary evils", I think “Animal Farm”.
So what? A "western" democracy in China will not work, and let everyone with a bit of sanity hope forever that western style democracy is avoided in China.
Lets instead hope that China keep moving in the direction they do, and keep their 1 party, and keep making it less authorative, and keep giving the people more and more influence over political decisions. Thats democracy, what we have in the west will then be considered very poor democracy.
I’m sorry , I assumed you knew about Mao’s cultural revolution. Which brings me to the following. Which western ideals are you talking about?
But I do... I didnt know this was what you referred to.
China’s engaged in mind control and you support it. 30 years from now you’ll wake up in front of a teleprompter with a chip in your arse.
Isnt this what is going on in the US actually? :mrgreen:
President reads from a teleprompter and people are being chipped and tracked.
BTW, the West isn’t nagging, they’re sucking up to China becuase they want acces to their markets and exploit their proletariat.
China has moved to far away from communist ideas in my opinion. They should re-embrace equality and a society that works for EVERYONE instead of the individuals first, then everyone second.
We used to know what the alternative means. I don’t mind criticism on democracy but as long as you don’t provide an alternative you leave it to my imagination.
So, can you not imagine something better than a sham democracy?
So you contest the idea that hundreds of millions of Chinese people have been lifted out of poverty the last 20 years?
Sure I’ll buy it, maybe then I’ll appreciate the concept of the deliberative dictatorship more.
Well, if you read it, you will understand that democracy of the future is not about electing one of the big parties with a political menu that you may know 5% of or may know 10% of, and where 50% of policies will go through no matter what you vote. This is oppose to a system with one party, where people get to decide where policies move, and dont care about who politicians have sex with or which party is best at throwing one liners on TV.
