You know, I see a lot of hatred toward the Chinese people in this thread, and I think it's uncalled for. Why?
Because many, if not most, of the Chinese people are just as unsatisfied with their gov't as we are with ours. Communists rule by controlling their population, in many case by brainwashing them convincing them that their way is right and it's the only way.
So, now you ask why the people don't stand up and fight for change? Because after so many centuries of communist rule, and with a military so strong and punishments so severe, they can't stand up and fight for it.
In reality, the Chinese people are really no different than us. They work honest jobs, buy what they can to support their families, their kids go to school, etc.,etc. While their culture may be a bit more strict and different, every country has their own cultures that differ from ours.
I guess the point I'm trying to get across is this: Don't judge peoples of a country simply by your dislike, hatred, or disagreement with their political structure or political system.
