Now you are really scraping the bottom of the barrel, in a debate about models for achieving effective rule of law. China is already the world's largest renewables energy producer, and is rapidly moving to clean up pollution in the physical environment.

"Prosperous in all respects" includes "beautiful, healthy, green environment" as per the centenary goals (2049).
Of course lifting 1 billion people out of absolute poverty ASAP involved 2 centuries' worth of pollution in the West being concentrated into 3 decades of pollution in China, but China is now moving rapidly into the clean-up stage.


No it's not. The only stats available are published by the CCP and are unverifiable.

The CCP has not etradicated absolute poverty - not even close - poverty is rampant outside certain parts of Tier 1 cities. The quota system created by Mao is predicated on cha bu duo - i.e. as long as the relevant authorities report that quotas are met, no independent audits will be conducted to prove the quotas have actually been met.

Again your lack of comprehension of cha bu duo means that you have no idea that many 'windfarms' and 'solar farms' are built to look like what they're supposed to be - they are for show and do not function as such, being powered by electrcity produced by coal-burning power stattions to add to the impression that they are operational.

Have you ever met anyone who has lived in and travelled through China?

The media are only interested in what gets people to buy "news" papers (i.e. read their ads) and watch the TV "news" (i.e. watch their ads).

As for the media having any human interest in anything you only have to look at how they're (not) reporting on Covid in Australia anymore - apart from trying to convince everyone the pandemic is over when it most definitely isn't. And mostly succeeding, at least from what I personally see and hear on a daily basis.


I highlighted the relevant part for you. Both the media and their customers are human beings. Not some small minded conspiracy. Why is it so hard for you to believe that people might have a genuine interest in the Chinese people's struggle against censorship?

It seems highly symptomatic when China's confirmed Anglo enemies are suddenly so concerned about the welfare of the Chinese people.
Or maybe they were inspired by MI6 (ASIO) and their two party cartel directives?

Boris Johnson admits His Khazarian
Family Roots Trace Back to Moscow Rabbi


Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Wednesday, speaking in a synagogue, that his family roots "traced back to a Rabbi in Moscow," according to a Jewish newspaper in Britain.


Johnson was visiting a synagogue in his constituency of Uxbridge and South Ruislip, the media said.
The former prime minister also reaffirmed that he would "absolutely" run for the parliamentary seat in the next elections, the Jewish Times reported. He also promised to support the current government of Rishi Sunak, noting, however, that the Tories' decision to oust him was a "mistake."
On July 7, Johnson announced his intention to step down as UK Prime Minister due to accusations of violating COVID-19 regulations and sexual assault claims against Government Deputy Chief Whip Christopher Pincher, whom he had personally vetted.

It would shine a spotlight on the fact that Chinese nationalists' greatest fear is the exposure of the CCP's deceitful incompetence in its governance of the Chinese people.

That our concern for the rights and freedoms of Chinese people is just some kind of facade for our real concern. Not sure what you think that is. It's your conspiracy theory.

your assertion that China lacks rule of law is absurd. 

Law is not dependent on blind leading the blind, adversarial parties who supposedly gain legitimacy via 'democratic' elections (despite the murder and mayhem surrounding these elections in many countries).

Rule of law requires that all citizens of the state submit to it, as all parties within a democracy do. The CCP and its officials do not submit to, and are not required to submit to, the rule of law.


The CCP composed the original Chinese constitution, to which all citizens must submit (which is why Xi has spent much time weeding out corruption, a problem faced by all governments).   Naturally, the constitution can be changed by consensus, with input from all citizens since all citizens can enter government based on merit (hence 'consensus meritocracy').   

Quote:
The CCP is riddled with adversarial parties that undermine each other whenever they can


oh dear, don't look in the mirror....you will see adversarial parties wasting time attacking one-another...reversing the other mob's policies, creating chaotic development and policy gridlock.

Quote:
and disappear or imprison those rivals whose power and influence weaken to the point that the dominant faction can successfully disappear/imprison them without serious consequences or reprisals.


I think you are describing corruption and greed, universals in any government.

Quote:
In China under the CCP, the law is applied to those whom the dominant faction wants to be removed. This is how Xi removed many of his rivals - by accusing them of corruption, (despite the fact that the Chinese practice of guanxi necessarily requires the capacity and willingness to act corruptly). No Xi-faction member in favour has been accused of corruption.


Is Xi corrupt?

Quote:
Rule of law also requires that the judicial system is independent of influence and control from the political process. In China, the CCP instructs the judge on the required outcome and the sentence.


Naughty of the CCP...like a governing party instructing judges to jail whistle-blowers....

Boris Johnson compares himself to a jar of honey found on a supermarket shelf - 'the product of many countries'. He thinks he is part Jewish, part French, part English, part American, part pterodactyl and, unpredictably, part Turkish.

Refuted above.

The CCP's constitution has just been changed to allow Xi to effectively become president for life and, despite vehement resistance from the Jiang faction, cries of 'mayo' were heard from the vote counters of the dissenters.

The rule of law does not apply to the CCP. The party is sovereign and its apparatchiks are protected by the party's sovereignty.

No judge in China is free to determine the guilt or innocence of anyone before the courts in China. Guilt and penalties are determined by the CCP, prior to the case being heard, and handed to the judge. Even the defendant's advocate is not allowed to mount a convincing defence against the accused- Cha bu duo, legal style.

Yes, constitutions can be changed, by consensus or vote or a combination of both. 

"1982 Constitution. There had been five major revisions by the National People's Congress (NPC) to the 1982 Constitution. The 1982 State Constitution provided a legal basis for the broad changes in China's social and economic institutions and significantly revised government structure."

"This article argues that the Chinese Communist Party has adopted a unique understanding of law. Unlike the liberal view and the unwritten constitution view, which generally consider law as positive norms that exist independently of politics, the party understands law as a reflection of the party's and the people's will and a form of the party's and the people's self-discipline. In the party's view, liberal rule of law theories are self-contradictory, illusive, and meaningless. This article argues that the party views the people as a political concept and itself as a political leading party, marking a fundamental difference from a competitive party in a parliamentary system. [u]The legitimacy of the party's dominant role and the party-state regime, therefore, depends on whether the party can continue to provide political momentum to lead the people and represent them in the future.

The constitution can be changed by the CCP only - there is no referendum required to determine the people's will to change the constitution.

Judgements can be disliked by some people, that is not the point of the independence of the judiciary.

That some politicians try to influence the judiciary is the domain of a free and independent media to investigate or that of a royal commission as interference in the judicial process by politicians is illegal. The Chinese people do not have any such protections against CCP overreach.

No, consensus will do the job; avoiding silly, divisive referendums like the one on marriage equality. 

Quote:

Judges have to obey the law in China, see above. You need to stop claiming your own "freedom values" are the only legitimate base for rule of law.  God knows there are enough examples of the law revealing itself "to be an ass", in the democracies.

If the law is genuinely consensus based - from the bottom up - then overreach from the CCP will be transparent to all.

No, I look with interest on a system which might avoid the  "liberal rule of law theories (which)  are self-contradictory, illusive, and meaningless".

Not to mention an alternative to the West's self interested 'survival of the fittest' market-based competition for resources which entrenches war and poverty around the globe.

The fittest for survival in China under the CCP are the neo-imperial families (the red princelings) and CCP apparatchiks.

Together they exploit every echelon of Chinese society via rampant corruption - the reason the Chinese real estate industry is in massive meltdown and the reason for the rioting at the likes of Foxconn factories.

I'm guessing you have not lived under a totalitarian regime or have family who've lived under one or know anyone who has.

you assume your own Libertarian individual rights/freedom ideology is the be-all and end-all of ideologies, it is not.

The CCP promotes an ideology of collective well-being, a much higher moral endeavour - and more difficult to achieve - than mere self-interest.

So stop seeing the CCP as your enemy, it represents the collective will of the Chinese people who want to live in peace.   

Meanwhile the democracies are in decline, as inequality soars on the back of individual rights/freedom.
