Let me guess. None of you have ever been to China. None of you have ever been out of North America. So where do you guys get the ideas from China. Why, the TV ,internet and a little thing called imagination . It seems funny to me how lies passed around enough times automatically became truth, and how none of you ever question the validity of the mass media.
Anyways, what I was saying is the Chinese Communist Party did pretty well for the last 50 years considering all of the international and domistic problems. China has 1.5 billion people and feeding all of them is a pretty remarkable feat all by itself. Back when the nationalist were in power, many people would starve to death each year. People's living condition have been improving all the time. Sure now you are asking why is it what some people are much richer than other. Well, if any of you have ever taken the time to study China, you will realize that people will higher living are mostly from costal cities. China's economic police for the last 20 year was to concentrate economic developement in the costal areas then use the costal areas to help the economic development of other ritual areas. I wish everybody could get rich at the same time, but that is simply too idealistic. During the initial stages industrialization of any country, a gap will always be created between the rich and poor. Simply having the rich and poor does not mean that the rich is enslaving the poor. If any of you have been to the ritual villages in central china, you will constantly see improvements in their living conditions. I know some of you will ask about human right problems, but democracy in China would hardly work better than it did in India. Giving 1.5 billion people, many of which are still uneducated the power to control their government will spell disterater.
