China Demands CNN Apologize for Commentary

Talk about twisted sense of progression. Caveman can discuss politics freely. Before there are nations, before there are governments, there is democracy, as it is the most primitive form of political structure.
Any government's goal should be to bring prosperity and strength to the nation and its people while democracy as any political system is merely one of the means, and an inefficient means at that. If democracy is the goal, then there would be no need for government for anarchy is the ultimate form of democracy.

So your view of the progression of man's political history is that he starts as a free individual living in a democratic environment that self-regulates in an anarchic fashion, and ends up advancing to the ultimate goal of authoritarianism, feudalism and all loss of his rights?
You are reading Marx and Hegel backwards, comrade!
Figures.
The CCP is regressing.
It's supporters are too!

Advanced atm doesn't mean advanced forever. The western advancement is extremely short in terms of human development, and to claim they got it right for eternity is just ignorance. Many times in history, new and more efficient system come to replace old. China today is ever evolving and fast changing, it is looking for a different and new route to success, and it is getting it right more than wrong as the result is more telling than any theory.

Even the backward and squabbling arab people are ahead of China on this, since the start first of Al Jazeera, and then its competitors. For the first time in their modern history, there is a popular forum for free political discussion in the arab world! But in China "apparently" the people are not yet so advanced!
Why, then, must the central government be sheltered from criticism and exposure? It cannot be done in China, and I will not be allowed to do it here. The most powerful, and all other important governments must accept criticism and opposition, but NOT the Chinese Communist Party?
Next you'll be telling me that it's because they sh*t ice cream, or something ,eh?
With all due respect to the Chinese people, their magnificent history and many admirable qualities, under the "apparently" endless dictatorship of the CCP, China must be the retarded child in the family of nations. And that's sad.

What a liar you are!
I encourage people to try and discuss anything on a Chinese English-language forum like "ChinaDaily"!
Then they will see what a liar you are when they notice the word filters that block the posts, the wholesale editing of threads to slant the recorded discussion to one that is favourable to the party, and the ban you will immediately suffer if you persist in critical remarks.
Liar!

I think the Jews get scapegoated way to much.
Sure there are probably a few Jewish people who work at CNN...so what!
The vast majority of employees at CNN are not Jewish I assure you.
Jewish people have been ok by me though I don't think I've been around too many.
Astonishing how such a small group of people get blamed for so much.
