Well any sort of restriction on free thinking is a hinderence to the longterm survivial of a country. As i have mentioned in some other posts. I heard a documentry of a hongkong media mogul who once said that,what china lacks is a strong moral ground, their entire life is build and revolves around economy and if that fails.. they dont have nothing to go back too..!!!! It think i mentioned it in this thread itself..!!! Could any of my chinese friends give their opinion on the above statement..!!!!
For one thing: have you ever thought about a question?
why all the early civilization is in a miserable state (China and india may recollect themselves a bit, but are still far from reclaiming their former glory)
why the new-rich like US , those Gothic barbarians(germany), those Vingin pirates(Northern europeans) live such a civilized and wealthy lives?
Every civilization has its peak and valley so does every culture and moral.
You indias are extremely love to braging about '
rich history', '
colourful culture'
but you never realize that it is you 'rich history and colourful culture' prevent you from advancing further. As an old trunk, your culure has already rotten in the core and do not fit in the industrializtion era, let along information age.
You talk about chinese lose value and moral.
Yes, we lose it because we choose it, we systematic destory our old culture and value and we have also succesfully root it out from the rural area.
we destory it because it hinder our development, restrict our freedom, undermine our equality. Old culture was like an organ with cancer, you cant just cut the cancer out without harming the healthy tissue. So the great politician, scientist,artistest, social activist in china conduct this huge social operation from Qing to ROK to PRC and finally make china a uniformed, secular, modern national state with enlightened idea and material mindset.
And we choose to restore chinese culture and value now , but only to the best part, moded to fit today's world.
Some hunter say: when traped , the king of wolfs is the one who bites his own leg off to get free.
You indian are too soft-hearted to yourself and your culture, so your can never become the wolf king.
