Although there are many problems with the current system under the rule of CCP, China could hardly find out a better way to change the conditions. So here are my questions:
 1. Do you think China doesnt need CCP's government any more? Or do you think CCP should improve itself and continue its regime? Or do you think the best way is to add one or more parties to come into power? What do you expect China's polity should be like?
Please analyze the feasibility of your suggestion.
2. There is another problem: whatever the world criticize CCP for, over 90% of the Chinese would support its regime when it comes to anything to do with nationalism just as what astralis said. So once anyone or any medium talks about Taiwan or Tibet issues, it is likely that overwhelming majority of the Chinese people will take the CCP's side.
How to solve this problem.
3. CCP have done some achievements and some wrong decisions as well. Could you tell me what you know about (and please evaluate,too) what CCP did during the the past 49 years?
For instance, whether Deng Xiaoping's "capitalist road" is a right choice for China at that moment and in the long run?
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. |
1. I believe ending all press censorship and web censorship would be a first step. Eliminating the political secret police another. Religous freedo would be a good change. After the chinese people got the benefits of a free 4th estate and no longer fear arrest for voicing anti CCP opinions they would be in a position to elect leaders both locally and nationally. One of the huge problems with the CCP now is corruption. As you know many local villages are not sharing in the wealth being created because the local government is so corrupt. This is a problem that goes right up the line in the CCP. It is no coincidence the Leaders are wealthy. I think the polity of China should look like a polity of China chosen by a people who are free and receive news and information in an uncensored fashion. No more banning reporters from places. I don't understand how this could not be feasible when it occurs in so much of the rest of the world including countries with a culture similar to Chinas
2. The Chinese don't know what their regime is doing due to extreme censorship. No one knows what happened in Tibet no free press was present only the Chinese propaganda machine. Do you think Americans less nationalistic than Chinese? When the press has discovered actions of our government the people had strong objection too things changed. Look at our anti war demonstrations of the 60s and the resignation of Nixon over Watergate, the trial of Oliver north, the impeachment trial of Bill Clinton.
3. Every person jailed or persecuted for disagreeing with the government. The numbers are in the millions. it still takes place. The CCP has the largest secret police in the world. I think the road to capitalism was a huge success for the CCP it took much pressure off it from the outside. Once western nations businesses and people began to make a profit and get cheap goods from China they started to care less about the oppression it's people lived under. If the USSR had done the same there would still be an iron curtain. Of course the CCP capitalism is capitalism without a conscience as evidenced by the shipment of arms to Zimbabwe that cant find a port in Africa that will elt them dock, the lead in toys, the poisonous heparin, the plastic compounds in proteins, the anti freeze in cough syrup etc etc etc. if it can boost profits it is acceptable.
I do think the people of the coast enjoy a higher standard of living but the CCP led China has lagged far behind it's neighbors who were in similar circumstances in 1946. It also isn't true for rural peoples whose lands are being stripped of resources and they are not sharing in the wealth creation on the coast. i think the CCP has done a bad job for the Chinese people and a good job of lining their own pockets
