How sanitizing is the word 'sacrifices'. You made it sound like those millions willingly went to their horrific deaths.China's governing system is nowhere near perfect but given that it has a country of 1.3 Billion to manage its doing pretty well, needless to say sacrifices have been made by millions for it to reach the level its at today but unfortunately it is a necessary evil.
So the communist party is much more insecure than the American Democrat or Republican party.China's censors are aimed towards inflammatory talk aimed at the communist party, if they had wanted to quell the strikes they could have easily used military / policing to stop it.
Ah...The old 'benevolent dictatorship' argument trotted out again. Let us know when you find one.Capitalism is typically better for an economy because it basis its foundation on greed which humans excel in, but this also drives progress which is good for its civilization on whole. But it still has to be controlled by someone at the helm which can make good impartial decisions ensuring the country moves in the right direction which creates the capitalist/communist hybrid system adopted by China.
By what do you mean 'backed'?Maybe you can shed some opinions on this from a US point of view.
US presidents are usually backed by big companies to fund their election campaign, wouldn't this cause a conflict of interest as the companies would expect his party to make decisions to help their businesses which may not be in line with the publics interest? How would this compare with China's system?
