First, ask the folks in the prison camps in Vietnam how communism's working for them. Or ask the folks who survived the killing fields in Cambodia, or the folks who get tortured for having an unsanctioned prayer meeting in China.
Second, Democracy seems to work pretty well with orientals, too. See Japan, Taiwan and South Korea.
1.3 billion people seem to live happily and peacefully in China. Sure you can recite this statistic and that number and you’d probably be right. I’m not arguing that it’s a good system.
But 1.3 billion people live in a country where the government tells them how many children they can have? They seem to be a basically happy people.
But I’m not going to argue.....so I bow to your wisdom of the world.
