"The Chinese value their history only because it is so long..they're not trying to relive it. If anything, they hope to move on and leave it behind as something they can refer to only when talking to someone who comes from a country that is only 200 some years old.
Believe me, the rural unrest has nothing to do with democracy and everything to do with land ownership"
I see you finally got it :) Congrats.
1989's protest has nothing to do with Democracy -- it's more to do with economic. Out of all the stuff the students wanted, ALL are available in China today except for democracy.
What China needs is RULE of law and the problem is that the Communist has taken away basic morality studies (Such as traditional Confucius) from the populus. I don't see how they can solve the rule of law problem without basic education on the youngin's.
