I happen to loathe the idiocy of tweedle dee  -  tweedle dum " achieve-nothing, "democratic" - more correctly - "veto-cratic" government. That's just my opinion...and the CCP's view as well, as it happens.

Yet China, (and I for that matter)  has no intention or desire to force its consensus one-party meritocracy onto any other nation. You could reciprocate, and leave the CCP to practice its own preferred system of governance which has the support of >90% of the population.

Gosh, communication is a difficult thing....I suppose because you are suffering from the individual "freedom" delusion, my explanation of which surely you have read.  You might not agree with it, but there's no way you can conclude I support war between nations in any shape or form. 

After all my exhortations for a proper international rules-based system, you still claim I am in favor of one nation invading another.

Addressed above. In your reply to Athos you mentioned 'might is right', which is indeed the age-old method of settling international disputes, which the delegates at the formation of the UN Charter sought - but failed - to change for the first time in history, in 1946. They failed because your widespread delusional "freedom" ideology forced the veto onto the  proposed UNSC.

China is happy to let you have your vetocracy.

Meanwhile, China's meritocracy has >90% support in China.

What's your problem?

An important announcement

"As a peaceful nation with a great culture and civilization, in the interest of world peace, China is also committed to bringing culture and prosperity to uncivilized and aggressive Anglo-Khazar tribes in America, Britain and their penal colonies.
This would be achieved primarily through the moral re-education of the deceived masses, after their liberation from the Anglo-Khazarian banking elite. It should be noted that Russia has already started this historic mission in Ukraine, liberating that country from the NATO Nazi occupation. China should continue this process of reeducation, debarbarization and denazification in the Indio-Pacific region" (Quote).

China is not forcing its political model onto anyone, Great, just its surveillance state - throughout Central and South East Asia. Yes, I imagine we could say countries like Laos have a choice, but global hegemons never offer that choice.

But no worries, China is currently sending out the bots to back Putin. That fact alone loses all sympathy I previously had for China.

The only reason you're backing Putin is the geopolitical interests of the one-party state you're affiliated with.

Few Australians would promote America's interests, for example, in such a way. It's brainwashing at its best. 90% of Chinese, is it?

That kind of kool-aid is an anathema to most Australians, who would never fall in line like that. As a previously colonised country, you'd think China would share an independence streak. Your 90% suggestion is a testament to the CCP's Ministry of Propaganda. 

Thanks for the info. We need to ensure such government thought control NEVER happens here.

On the Ukraine though, there's nothing left to say. You and Athos are only supporting this war because you're told.

90%, innit.

Hang on, is Athos communicating through a translator app?

Careful, Meister, he might overheat.

Good on you, you are welcome to your vetocracy; meanwhile aborigines are drinking themselves to death on Broome beaches, and 1 in 6 OZ kids are still living in poverty, 4 decades after Bob Hawke's famous remark.

Not me, I understand your delusional "freedom' ideology, and will continue to expose it. 

Quote:


Nonsense, political issues can be debated anywhere; and whereas you are unable to deal with the issues noted above at the ballot box, China gets on with its 5 -years plans.

A benevolent dictator enjoying the support of 90% of the people?  Trump could only gain 50%.

Many were attracted by Trump's 'survival of the fittest' world view, and ending the US's "endless wars"  via ever increasing Pentagon spending.

Don't let me interrupt you...I'm merely offering solutions to the problems identified above. (ie the 'gap', and entrenched poverty generally.)

Sure, it's always easy for comfortable conservatives to ignore the entrenched poverty among others.

And what will the next election achieve?  Albo is already committed to low taxes (the only way he can get self-interested  electors to elect the ALP, as the last election proved), so there goes fixing up age care. etc. etc.

Sounds sensible (....??!!)

Quote:


Just to confirm: I have written to the CCP advising of the advantages of an international rules based system; not sure of its reception, but obviously the Marxist principle eg "workers of the world, unite"  implies a genuine  international rules based system; and when China becomes the largest economy in the world,  China might be attracted to the concept to avoid an insane and wasteful arms race with a declining US.

"The First Opium War, fought in 1839–1842 between Qing China and the United Kingdom, was triggered by the dynasty's campaign against the British merchants who sold opium in China. The Second Opium War was fought between the Qing and the United Kingdom and France, 1856–1860."

The Boxer Rebellion took place in 1900....So WWI caused Vietnam, and Russia's invasion of Afghanistan and Ukraine and so forth were caused by WW I?

Well - in some sense, yes - but definitely not all.......
