how do you expect the world to respect you if you keep showing the world that you're capable of doing anything to your own people.
summary:
chinese government = sux :thumbsdown:
China led by Taiwan = good :thumbsup:
sad thing is that the rest of the chinese people are so brain washed by their own government that they don't see any wrong in this
1. P&N
2. I'm chinese, naturalized US citizen and though China has it's problems it's really overblown by those in america that just seem to hate us chinese because imho many americans are brainwashed by the sensationalized stories. It's just like how most of the rest of the world hates us fro the tourture scandal and invasion and in general just trying to stir up more problems with this whole axis of evil thing. Goverment preference is in the eye of the beholder. When i lived in china, and some of my family still do, the goverment really wasnt all that opressing at all. I mean, none of that crap happens to 99% of the people.
3. The actions of 1 man cannot determine the strength and decency of 1 goverment, otherwise we would be guilty as charged with Michael Brown FEMA mishap and the possible unhonest appointment of him to such a high position, a man whose last job ended up being fired as a show camel judge and who had no exprience in emergency services basically let all those people die. This is the same situation. A PLA captain shot some guys, the federal goveremnt detainesd him. Someone ****** up and the Chinese goverment did something responsible by arresting the man that did wrong, to be probably court marshalled. Tell me you dont think the chinese goverment ordered a guy to shoot civilians and then detained him. Obviously 1 stupid guy disobeyed orders.
4. Idiot. If yuo dont know what it's like besides some sensationalized news stories and anti chinese brainwashing, dont speak out.
5. Dont even get me get into the taiwan situation. It's a 50 year civil war. Our war. Get out of it. How would you like if if say back in the day the british suddenly sweeped through U.S. and then instated the confederate goverment? Get out of everyone else's business. We're not attacking U.N. Peacekeepers or commiting Genocide, we're just trying to conclude a 50 year civil war.
6. China has a relatively young govermant, a situation we had a had in shaping(with the whole asia coprosperity spheres of influence causing dissent and the overthrow of the emperors). All young goverments make mistakes. We quashed a lot of rebellions with military might in the first few decades after the Constitution was created. With the whole salvery thing, killing a bunch of people, destroying the indians, and recklessly causing friction with sapin(florida), France, Nritan, Mexico, the lsit goes on. We look good now, seeing as our goverment is in it's prime/middle aged stage, but yuo have to rmemeber China's goverment is like a 10 year old with a gun. Old enough to cause some damage but not old enough to truly realize the consequences.
