    Comment: Continue from my last post,
    I've read "Animal Farm" and 1984 before, and I can tell you straight in the face that those two books do not represent today's China at all. BTW, do you think North american countries do not have censorship and serveillance cameras? ironically, I see a lot more surveillance cameras in north america than any other continent in the world!

    I don't mean to make you feel bad about yourself but every country has its own style of governing. It's not up to you to decide which government of political system is good, but its own people who are living in the system. Perhaps, it takes time for the Chinese government to become a perfect one, so what? No country is perfect. As long as all the citizens and the government is working together to improve.

    As a Chinese citizen, I can tell you from real experience from me and everyone that I know, we are aware of the government censorship, but we also understand that for a huge country with 1,3 billion people sometimes organization and the power to control is important to keep the coutry together and maintain a peaceful and harmonious society. China have 56 different ethnic groups, that's like 56 different races with different languages, how would you manage it effectively in 50 years since the country was born without a strong power to control?
    Democratic countries often claim themselves as respecting all cultures and the freedom of choice. Well, the Chinese government may not be perfect, but it's still the government that most chinese citizens love. It's our freedome to say wether we like the government or not. NOT YOU.

    And p.s. China is not a communist country, we develop according to our own ideologies, which our own people call-- Chinese style communism, a capitalist system with more good wills.
    And, it's impossible for americans to cut trades with China right now, because the truth about capitalism is, money always is the big brother.

    Hope this can make you understand China more and stop being a hater.
    After all, life is short.
    Be happy.

    Comment: For some reason I see many haters from the above comment. I agree with biscuityi that the government censors certain information doesn't mean its citizens are evil. Communism itself started with a good will based on sharing and equality. Eventhough it may not turn to be a system that works well, but the entire idea of communism is completely different from the Nazis and dictatorship. To promisous, if you know a bit of Chinese history you'll find that this country is built by supressed people looking for a good life, with the idealist intention of sharing common wealth as a community and live happily everafter with everyone on the planet. Perhaps, it's just dream, and it didn't turn out to be what people wished it would've been.But it far far away from being evil. Besides, Chinese people are one of the most peace loving race on earth, China hadn't really invaded any weak countries even when they had the power to.Unlike your country who kills millions and millions citizens in afganistan, iraq... even your own citizens. Read some books and stats, and find out how many innocent black people were mistreated and killed.

    Comment: I'm not a computer geek, but from what I understand the Chinese use Lenox operating systems for all official business, military and governmental, while personal use must be done on microsoft. Google and Yahoo have already turned over dozens of political dissadents to the Chinese Communist government. There has to be a ready supply of Organ Donors from somewhere to supply the 500 plus hospitals that specialize in organ transplant for the worlds rich! For all you conspircy theroist, think of this. Why must I constantly get up dates from Bill Gates to run my computer practically every week. I would perfer to go to the store 2 to 4 times a year and get a hard copy so I would't have to worry about my computer crashing. The new world order will control this medium when their times come. It's happening around the world already.

    Comment: Dear China: Please do not feel that the buttwipe who wrote the piece below represents anything but stupidity. He is simply one of those stinky little republican turds that comes out of the back side of a pregnant pig. This Promisous (whatever that is) is a moron. .Where, I must ask, would he and his buddy George be without the Chinese financing since George has blown all the countries money in "George's War".
    This guy does not understand that his ancestors were probably Chinese. The only difference being that the Chinese became intelligent and he is?? Well. just read his 5th grade drivel.
    China is just like any other country that deserves to be, do and act the way that it wishes, I mean after all, look how foolish George makes himself look and sound. Look at the torture and killings committed by the clandestine government thugs.
    Someone should send this Promisous idiot a dictionary. He would probably get one, but he doesn't know how to spell the word.

    Comment: American understanding of China is handicapped by the paradime of "communism". America has a hard time seeing China separately from Communism. The reality in China is that China has five thousand years of cumulative history; communism has only been in China for less than one century. The Chinese culture is the heritage of China. Communism is the heritage of Europe. The Chinese culture did not invent or create the philosophy of Communism; Europe did. Communism was imported to China from Europe during a particularly complex time in China's history. The people of China were not the original creator of Communism. China is no more committed to the success of Communism than to the success of pizza or Nike. China is interested in the success of China. In the end, it is the sweeping five thousand years of Chinese civilization which will determine the meaning and place of communism in the Chinese society, not the other way around. When America tries to understand the "Communist China", it is helpful to have the relative proportion of the two words in mind, realizing that the "China" part is more than 50 times longer than the "Communist" part.

    Comment: Well, I'd like to say at least the Chinese is sharing are of freedom online.
    The goverment is doing what they all thinking about, not the people, so the governmental acts do no stand for every China, it doesn't makes sense to equqate China with "Evil Empire', it's not as "Evil" as you expected.

    Comment: Comment: JP
    For some reason, the American people equate Communism with "Evil Empire" when it is just another form of government. Maybe Communism is right for the Chinese people at this stage in history. But to call China a Communist nation following Communist doctorine is incorrect. The most effective method of governing a group of people has as much to do with the culture of that group of people as how that group of people can tolerate change in the system. But changing the way you govern people can't come overnight and the USSR paid dearly for that. Change takes time. You speak of Communism in China but the major industries have been decentralized and the roots of private industry have begun to take hold. Chinese can now own their land instead leasing it. Can you explain how that is Communist? Capitalism is in itself about exploitation of people and resources. So China is exploiting a system of exploitation? Interesting. And the reason American companies have gone to China? Greed. Another side effect of capitalism and the human spirit. JP you talk a big game, but it's only because you don't have a company doing business there. I bet you would change your tune if it meant that your business could allow you every luxury you ever wanted out of life. That's human nature and a part of your nature as well, unless you're inhuman. Additonally I'd have to agree with Naomi; the development of China benefits the world as all our economies are tied together. For example, why are foreclosures in this country causing major problems in German banks? Plus at the end of the day Americans want to be able to buy their 50" Plasmas at Best Buy for $1500 and not $15,000. You can't have it both ways; either you utilize their manufacturing infrastructure and inexpensive labor to turn out all those goods you want at prices you can afford, or you give up the idea of having those luxuries.

    By the way, there is no freedom of speech here. You cannot protest anytime and anywhere you feel like it. Saying certain things out loud can and will get you locked up. And to think that the information we are fed is not censored is naive.

    Comment: ...And the personal development is possible by only way the individual liberty. This is the only way.

    Comment: JP,
    I used to think the same way you do--until I began living in China. Unfortuantely, blanket terms, such as "Communist," don't accurately represent the entire political and economic situation in China.

    JP, let me ask: how is China "exploiting" capitalism "at the expense of the American people"? By this logic, shouldn't you be more worried that China would become a "capitalist" country and "exploit" America even further? Fortunately, China's development isn't a zero-sum gain: as China develops, this does benefit the rest of the world.

    You suggest that if American companies had integrity, they would not trade with China. In fact, this investment and involvement by Western companies has actually served to open China up at a much more profound level, and has helped China become less controling.

    Unfortunately, many Americans like to blame their economic woes on the Big Bad Wolf: China. However, this thinking is logically flawed and completely irrational. China is not the enemy and, if anything, has only served to provide what Americans want for their addiction to cheap junk.

    Comment: JP,
    I also used to think the same way as you--until I began living in China. Unfortunately, convenient blanket terms, such "Communist," don't really capture the political and economic situation in China. Quite frankly, Western investment and involvement in China have served to open up the country at a much more profound level, and have actually encouraged the government not to remain as controling.

    Also, JP, I would like to ask you: how is China "exploiting" capitalism "at the expense of the American people"? By that logic, shouldn't you be more worried that China will become a "capitalist" country and "exploit" America even further?
    China's development isn't a zero-sum gain: as China develops, the rest of the world does benefit.

    Comment: This is absurd. The fact is: China is still COMMUNIST CHINA - a COMMUNIST nation which censors its people and "picks and chooses" which aspects of Capitalism it would like to exploit - at the expense of the American people. It's an embarrassment how American companies have chosen to ignore this is a COMMUNIST NATION which represses its own people from free thought, denying them the free flow of information with its "firewall"s Aren't American companies embarrassed? Ashamed? Does ANYONE have any INTEGRITY left?

      Comment: You never know the fact is: China is more captitalism than the Europe. What is the communist? The communist means sharing common wealth between the human being. China now is just doing the right things to sharing the wealth between the world. Otherwise the so called capitalism countries grabbed and stolen the wealth from the developing countries, like just hapenning in the mideast and in Africa. China is not helping their own peaple to come to be rich, also helping other developing countries to be wealthy.
