Quote: 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.
Your full of crap!! Then what was the recreation of the Statue of Liberty for??
Your are a chinese communist apologist and your thread history proves it.
Did you read my post??? I said, out of everything the students wanted, only ONE item was democracy (there were list of like 10 things, 9 things are available today).
Why don't you read Jimmy Rogers' book first before calling peopel names? Even he agrees. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/140006337X/qid=1123007716/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_1/103-2566841-8391049
In 1989, the students couldn't even CHOOSE a career path, they are told what their job is going to be. Also, there was a huge inflationary problem and credit problem (tight monetary policy).
You can't have democracy without first, economic freedom, and, RULE OF LAW. A democracy without rule of law = anarchy.
