All that's left are brainwashed people who don't know any better, and all they give a shit about any more is the latest LV bag and shiny BMW. They have been fooled into thinking economy is everything, and the nation has basically turned into a bunch of classless brainwashed money grubbing drones.

China has an amazing history. I love China. Anything before 1949 or so is amazing to learn about and discover. The country itself has some amazing things to see, and people to meet, as long as you stay far away from the shithole phony cities.

How about censorship that happens that you might not even know? Such as in the media?

I was banned for a week for revealing the shitty ending to terminator salvation

funny how someone was mentioning how immigrants should some how feel guilty because their parents are rich while millions of other Chinese people are suffering

what makes Canadians exempt from this? Where do you think the wealth and freedoms we enjoy come from? The same source, the exploitation of a large and poor working class in a 3rd world country and a shit load of natural resources. Here we are sitting fat pointing our fingers being apart of the small percentage of the world that isn’t living like shit. How the fuck do you think capitalism works? Sorry but there are few countries where you can work 40 hours a week doing labor with no education and still enjoy living in a nice home, drive a car, plasma tv, retirement package and all the other crazy useless shit you want to buy in between. Don’t get your panties all up in a twist cuz chinks want what you have too

Someone mentioned political vs economic freedom, and someone went ape shit about how luckily in Canada we can enjoy both because we don’t have a corrupted fucked up government, geez, why can’t people in china have the freedom of choice to be able to enjoy everything we have over here too! Obviously they’re fucked up if they cant have both political and economic freedom, that I cherish so much evidently from how easy I think it comes. All the gov’t has to do is give it too them, what greedy bastards keeping it for themselves.

Ever stop to think what happens when 1 billion Chinese people living below the poverty line with no education start believing they have a voice in government affairs? I want political freedom! Im gonna strike and quit my job till I get better benefits! I want to vote for an assortment of political parties!! I want political stability and freedom!!! Sorry but political freedom and economic freedom can not happen simultaneously in china. At least not yet. Utter chaos would ensue, GLOBALLY. if you keep the majority of ur population dumbed down through censorship its easier to control, especially when it consist of 1/3 of the worlds population. Its harsh but its reality. Its for your own fucking good too.

And why the fuck are we talking so much about communism? O wait, that’s cuz all the white boys here think they know it all. China = big baddd commies, just like they were in the 80s! lets go smoke weed and advocate for world peace dude. The gov’t may still run under a communist headline, but that’s about it, LOL @ ur face if you think that’s how they operate. China is pushing so hard to promote a prosperous middle class and free private enterprise, you know… the ones investing heavily in NA. Please don’t bring human rights into the argument, the overall living standard is being raised significantly year after year. The average joe (or wong) bad joke I know… suddenly has an internet connection, and a tv, and is thinking about maybe buying a pair of nikes and sending his/her child to school. People are being fed on 3% fertile land and can drink clean water under a roof. They’re starting to have things, lots more things. That is the biggest human rights justification you can do for your people as a nation. They run just like how Canada run$. Its all about the RMB ^_^

ha ha ha

people aren't as brainwashed as you think. stop fucking talking about mao because thats HISTORY. the majority do not idolize mao, nor do they hate him. its mixed. how can you be a sheep when you live through something like the cultural revolution, or tiananmen square massacre
even tho theres censorship, everybody still knows

and NA does not have money loving, porsche driving, laguna beach, vip bottle service, tailored suits, platnum card, country club, holt renfrew buying snotty fucks either huh? where is the culture in corporate america? if you call being shallow and carrying yourself with a mannerism that looks down upon others CLASS then sure, behind those gucci shades we're still of the same kind

gtfo if you think chinese people have been raped of their culture, its something you'll never fully understand. no matter how much time you spend in china or how ever many chinese people you befriend if you hold the attitude you hold

"i believe that our educatiaaaan like such as south africuhhh and the iraq everywhere such as and should help the US uhh iraq and asian countries"
theres your culture

if the government steps in and says you CAN'T report on this, that's censorship

if media companies say 'we DON'T want to report on this' that is NOT censorship.

C'mon.. China is still in it's industrial age, just like what Canada and the United States gone through decades ago. No matter how much you complain about human rights blah blah blah, things are going to happen that will overlook human rights for economic gain, hence Canada/US(Chinese railroad workers vs Black Slaves).
You guys cry about how it is not right to say that China needs time for things to change, but it is the inconvenient truth. China just like any other developing country will go through moderate changes through out it's phase into a developed country, although China has more problem than what Can/US have, it is also expected that in a country that inhabits 1.3billion people

Yup, before the communists came around to make things perfect, China was nothing but a bunch of shit eating opium smoking crackheads. Nothing good came out of China before that. No art, no literature, no major inventions. Thanks Mao, for making China such a great place! :thumbsup:

BTW thanks for proving my point :)

6-4 was an unfortunate event due to a conflict in political interest. Fast forward 20 years later, the Chinese government is still crap in term of anything that go against its interest.

It doesn't matter what age China is, industrial or what not, it's just the Chinese government is still doing everything it can to protect itself from collapsing (or even slightly chance). They have been brainwashing their citizens for years to ensure that events like industrial revolutions in the western worlds does not occur to them. They are not doing this in the best interest of Chinese people, but the interest of the communist party.

China still has most historic structures (some were burnt and destroyed by the Japanese and the British) and have become tourist attractions. Chairman Mao's picture no longer exists anywhere besides historic government buildings, only classic quotes from him are hanging in normal government buildings and etc.
Bird Nest is not a fucking stupid building, any stadium that can fit over 80,000 people is an architectural marvel. Besides, it's not even designed by the Chinese.
Canada/US is no better than China, see all the ricers with no taste? And bling this chrome that? You call that class? White guys wearing Ed Hardy Dom Rebel thinking their the shit? C'mon.. China is still in it's industrial age, just like what Canada and the United States gone through decades ago.

History of China is anything before June 6th, 2009. Anyone will tell you Capitalism in 2009 in China is better than it was in 1949.

DNA:
China supports Sudan, N Korea, Venezuela, Russia
US supports Israel, Pakistan, Afghanistan(before 911) other rogue countries.

It's all about World Power!
