I don’t always agree with other people and if everyone agreed with me, I’d be worried. But if I’ve hurt your feelings, I apologize. I’m probably used to dealing with people who have thicker skins. You are a bit slanderous when speaing of China but I think its mainly because the information you are fed by the Media is slanderous to begin with, there is no fix for this unless you see everything with your own eyes then you will know what's slanderous what's not

Neo wrote: One will find that the only defense that can be mounted for the tyrannical CCP is that 'other' nations (i.e., US) are just as bad, which is a silent admission of the reality. It is a logical fallacy and a cheap rhetorical trick, but the mind of the average CCP member only functions in terms of Communist dialectics, which is to attempt to create and manifest the antithesis of the western thesis. This implies that Communism is nothing but a negating force and has no possibility of actually producing the dialectical synthesis.
In short, Communism and the communist mind will never be introspective because there is nothing in Communism social programming that allows for introspective and self-correction. All it can do is what it does, engage in a sociological and dialectical warfare against all things western. And once it has achieved its purpose, it will self-destruct, because it has no other economic or social purpose but to to be the -1 in opposition to the +1, which result in the null set or 0.
This is the state of China today. Never doubt it. you are funadamentally wrong about communism. Communism isn't about anti West. Communism is born in the West, as a product of Western world's industrilization and exploitation of the poor. Communism is about even distribution of wealth so the oppressed and unfortunate gets to live. With the way America is going, another 200 years when America's resources are gone, majority people becomes poor there is not gaurantee communism won't happen in America.

If this is so, then the Chinese Communist Party should disband and resign collectively from all governmental positions call an end to the Chinese Constitution. Afterward, multi-party talks should be held, constitutional drafts written, and free, democratic elections held.
None of this should be a problem since there is 'no communism in China today'. If there is no communism, then free market economy has prevailed, the revolution has failed, and there is no more purpose for the CCP to remain in power. Therefore, they are free to go hold along with the People's Revolution Army.
The war is over. Russia did that and it was a disaster, we are not that stupid. What you suggested are completely irresponsible to the Chinese people and their livelyhood. Chinese 's problem is not as simple as what you suggested, it takes time and patience to sort out all the problems. Pragmatism meaning small step by small step no violent measunes no sudden move

There, satisfied? Only think you can make it up to us is that you make a trip to see China for yourself.

When you find a government in China that is delivering prosperity to the people, be sure to let me know. As of yet, the only thing that is delivering prosperity to the people is the opening of a free and private market economy and the influx of western business and trade, along with the individualist efforts and hard work of Chinese nationals. If "the only thing that is delivering prosperity to the people are individual efforts", I assuming you implied that Chinese Government didn't do anything to contribute to this, then why are you suggesting a different form of which is completely irrelavent? What are you, 12 year old?

I agree that government shall not rule by ideology. That is why the CCP needs to disband and stop exacting a tyranny of souls and ideological police state over the citizens of China by demanding that there be no other ideology than that of Marxist historic-materialism. That is the definition of ruling by an ideology and has no place in government.
When China has a government that signs into law a constitution that has a real just legal-justice system rather than a kangaroo court, real freedom of thought, real freedom of religion, a real educational system, the cessation of forced infanticide (i.e., abortion) and real democracy, and many other divers and sundry issues, be sure to get back to me. Because I will cheer along with the rest of the civilized world. And no, we will never have that luxury democrazy hat you had on because its bullshit, it gets people into debts. No poor country ever wear that hat and lift themselves out of poverty, not even one!

Wrong thinking! Majority foreigners visiting China doens't speak Chinese. If you stay in coastal cities, you don't need to speak China although speaking Chinese would be of great help Nonetheless, I would at least learn enough to embarrass myself. It makes me feel good when I hear a foreign born visitor struggle to make themselves understood in what is a very difficult language to master. It makes me think that they show respect.

this is especailly true when someone is constantly trying to set fire intentionally Call me paranoid but I just see outsiders rabble-rousing. You'd think they'd sort out their own problems first rather than just pretending that they don't exist. Either way, the foreign rabble rousers only make friends in the countries they would like to destablise with the same types who would be on a CIA watch list. The rest of the population (the majority) are more intent with improving their standards of living and leading a quiet life than trying to start a revolution. Chinese people remember what it's like to have a revolution and they are in no hurry to experience another one, especially when the country is doing OK.

Chinese people also appreciate the effort but they don't expect you to succeed because at your age you would find it VERY difficult to hear the tones that can differentiate between say a mother and a horse. All you need to consider are the basic words such as 'please','thankyou','beer' and, possibly most important of all on a package tour, is 'I DON'T want it, thankyou' followed by 'bugger off' because they will pretend you didn't mean it. With a small pool of words like that you can get round China. But just to put you off - the written language is pretty much the same throughout China, however, the variations in accent and local slang mean that much of the Chinese you need to learn for Chendgu will be no good when you go use it in Beijing.

I am not disagreeing with you on that but it doesn't mean you have to learn Chinese to visit China. Visiting China for Americans are not as it was many years ago, just like visiting Hollywood and New York City's Time Square isn't that difficult for Chinese visitors nowadays, US government is loosening up on the issurance of visa recently so you may expect more Chinese visitors in the US, most of those Chinese visitors speak little or no English, just like you with Chinese.
