First post. Practice makes perfect.
For his part, Mr. Ishihara does not see China as evolving into a stable democracy with free elections. "I believe such predictions are totally wrong," Mr. Ishihara said.
If they do not evolve into some sort of representative government, then what form will the government take? As the Chinese continue to obtain economic freedom, they are going to want political freedom.
Given that there are 900 million peasants in the country today, allowing them a vote is hardly practical. They would vote to take away the money from the "rich" and social chaos would rein. This is the real dilemma faced by China, it is a powder keg, how this is all worked out will determine if there is war or not.
