I'm sure we can agree. My fiance is a Buddhist and does visit temples and is a party member. You can say what you want in China, as long as no one reads it:*)
China is China. We should shove our values down their throats. It's far from perfect, but it is their culture. Things ARE changing as the internet and capitalism grows. Things will be fine.

I just think that calling it a dictatorship is a little strong. Yes, there is one party, and it is becoming very corrupt, but when I see the outcome of our system with theirs...the outcome of decisions is about the same. Better in the US, but I think there is a better word than dictatorship...
China is not a "communist dictatorship." Take a trip over there and see for your own eyes. America is far more restrictive than China - in everyday life.
There is a lot of freedom in China. Yes, it's one party, yet people come to consensus and make a decision. It's not one dude making all of the decisions.
My fiance is a Chinese Communist Party Member and she has lots of say. Tell her she's in a dictatorship and she will roll her eyes.
Enlighten yourself. Thanks.
