I think the Chinese claim is not quite what you read into it. The Party line does not appear to be that it knows or is the appropriate form of democracy for China — it is that democracy itself is inappropriate for China, and that the Communist Party is the proper form of (non-democratic) government there.
We’ll see how well that works out for them. |

Democracy American Style...Rich, Preppy Frat boy with Daddy’s Rolodex and a Phat Wallet buys and steals an election and then, with the help of his corporate paymasters, steals another election with rigged voting machines.
At least in China they have universal health care, near universal literacy and have managed to avoid imposing their cultural/political hegemony on the People of Colour around the World. So you tell me, which one is better.
"Democracy" is merely a reified Western Concept designed to de-legitimate certain modes of thought and production and allow the establishment of a supposedly "Liberal", but in reality Oppressive, Fascist, State, built upon exploitative Bourgeois concepts, such as the "Possessive Monad."
We need to free ourselves from our culturally laden mindset and approach Comparative-International Politics from a fresh and open-minded discussion....

Have I mentioned...I spent a LOT of time in the Liberal Arts, and really, really miss Pravda, Izvestia, and Trud?
Lastly, can I send Willis and Erb a bill, for services rendered, do you think? |

The thing about Chinese Democracy is this: 30 minutes later you’re hungry again. |

Ask India, Japan, Korea, the Philippines or Singapore whether they think the Chinese are avoiding "imposing their...political hegemony" on their neighbors. There’s a reason the Pacific Rim is seeing a naval buildup on the scale of the 1930s.
Back to the original point, there is one major political change the Chinese government seems happy with, though they haven’t seemed to recognize it yet: a shift from communism to fascism. |

I actually consider them mentioning it as a threat quite good. I just have this feeling that one night we’ll all go to sleep and wake-up with a free China. I think it comes down to letting too many people have cell phones and that someday a critical mass will be reached. I just hope that day comes before they get a blue water navy. |
