Zeng, again, we have different mindsets here. First, I do not think that economical development can ever be a substitute for Human Rights. Stalin and later Mao helped shape those views. And secondly, that there is not an alternative system to the CCP, anyone who has lived in democracy cannot agree with that. If they are so good, then they should have no problem in a democratic system. But ofcourse this ties back into human rights, and the one thing CCP would loose in a democracy is to play god allowing it to disregard the rights of its people within its borders.

I don't think that they claim that mainland China's political system is better than Taiwan's political system.
example for mainland China to study. Taiwan changed from a one party system to a multi-party system. They experienced emotional and turbulent periods. I should say that their system is getting more matured after a decade of practice.
We are not doing pissing contest here. Please don't confuse the argument.

Thank you for the info on Taiwan, Zeng. But where on Earth did Taiwan drop into this discussion?
