communism and capitalism is more than name.
In communism there is no election for the head of state in
china.
capitalism can survive in china because it create wealth for
both the party members and citizens. If they feel capitalism will
threaten the existence of their communism or party, rest assure,
close up and balik kampng!!-- meaning pack up and close shop!
first, chinese is not like western people. When during the
republic period, and japanese invasion, the chinese intellect who
studying overseas, was stunned by communism, at that times, the
capitalism world, also suffer from economic crisis and moral
crisis, so the chinese intellect see communism as the only hope to
save china.
And after the independence of PRC, the leaders made some attempt
to see whether the commuism economic model can work out, but it
fails, under that model, no matter how spetacular a single person
performed, the profit is share by all the people, it degrade the
enthusiasm for people to work hard. But my mother told me, at that
time, people compare to what are they now, are morally better, at
that time, the door of your home do not need to be locked, because
their is no theft, if someone get divorce or have an affair, with
oppisite sex, the whole people of the town will discuss it, it's
just so rare.
Compare Taiwan and china, yes, taiwan have made more progress in
Democratic development, but politics is always played by minority,
i think most of chinese people don't care the democracy ruling or
commusim rulling, as Deng xiao ping said, no matter white cat or
black cat,as long as it can catch mouse, it's a good cat.
Chinese election system is not transparent, i don't know how
it's perfomed, but seems that, the candidate for president or PM,
when it is selected, need to be working under supervision for
several years, and most of the president, start working from low
level to high level, from the governor of small city, then big
city, then province, finally to beijing.
I don't believe there is an abusolute democracy, like the
president of US, reagon, he is an actor, but his speech is
inspiring, so US people like him, then elect him, i don't see that
he is so capable.
