China is in many ways like the Nazi Germany in 1930s after the Nazis grabbed power from the elected government.
this is the most bizarre comment I've ever read on/.
Both dictatorial regimes were/are extremely xenophobic and populations were/are made to believe that they're under constant threat.
xenophobic? I have no idea where you got this. Have you even been to China before? And chinese people don't believe we are under constand threat. I think you mistaken us with Americans.
The Party in China also indoctrinates their ethnic (Han chinese) population to believe in their racial superiority, albeit discreetly.
OK...Do you know anything about chinese culture and philosophy? Apparently you dont so let me teach you a thing or two. Chinese culture and philosophy teach people to "stay in the neutral place" (in chinese its "zhong yong"...not sure if my translation is close to what it should mean). Thats why when china was the most powerful country in the world for thousands of years, we never invaded anyone. (k...there was Cheng-Ji-Si Han...i give you that one...) So if we did think we were better than the rest of the world, we would conquer it.
Germany invaded and annexed their eastern neighbors (well, the threat from Stalinist Russia was actually genuine) while China has invaded its western neighbors, including large parts of Mongolia (which the communist in their twisted logic now call "Inner Mongolia").
See my argument above. About Mongolia, frankly i dont really know what happened. I am sure I learned it in school, but I don't really remember it (or even if I did, you might say what I learned it is not true). So maybe you can give me some facts and teach me a thing or two.
Both Nazi Germany and One-Party China insist(ed) on total control of state propaganda
Yea. Chinese gov does want to control state propaganda. I give you this one. Our gov does have its problems. But don't ever dare to compare it with Nazi.
The Communist Chinese government's rein of power is illegitimate. It is illegitimate because it's power is not derived from free and democratic elections conducted in an uncensored arena of freedom of expression.
That statement alone, made on a website like Slashdot in China, could land me in jail. Perhaps, I would even just disappear and be executed without due process.
No. I am sure nothing will happen to you. How do I know? Cause I am chinese.

culture revolution is like 40 years ago(this is why some of the westerns still think chinese are reading the little red book.)
since 90's, china/chinese gov. has been becoming open
i grew up in beijing in an avg. family (during 80's and 90's)
i can wear whatever i wanna (well...not in school tho)
i was too young to understand what (really)happened at the tiananmen square
but u know what
i dun really care
i guess for most of ppl, as long as they can make more money every year and have better life every year
they dun really care its communist or not (i think our great leader Deng Xiaoping said something like this)
k...so google is censored...our gov has a lot of problems...
which gov doesnt have problems? (US gov? hehe...)
P.S.
abt fa lun gong
dun make ur judgement when u hear only one side of the story
i didnt make mine when i heard what chinese gov said abt those ppl (very evil...a small gourp of ppl wanna overthrow the gov...-_-#)
i didnt make mine when i heard what US media said abt those ppl (chinese gov is evil...freedom for religion)
if i have to make a stand
i'd say the truth is somewhere in the middle of these 2 extreme opinions
i might be wrong but according to what i know, if P=NP then we can do factorization in time P, which means its doable (might be a polynomial w/ huge power, but mathematically doable). and if we can do factorization in time P, then we can break RSA in time P (again, doable but might take a lot of time). so my point is P?=NP does have something to do w/ cryptography.
