LOL, funny that China is following the Western footsteps but forgot to erase its footsteps. I guess once a copy cat always a copy cat. China is no different than the Western States unless China proves us wrong or face more crticism.
I don't know if you are a citizen of vietnam or Canada, but both country would agree with me on "the separation of Church and State". by your logic, I guess vietnam is a copy cat too. And since China is no different than the western states and vietnam too, on what earth do they have the right say anything bad about the same thing that they are doing?
It is not like the founding fathers of America patterned this idea btw, it is a pretty good idea giving what happened in Europe in middle ages and in Tibet before CCP take over.
