No matter. Chinese communist regime will break up soon. In the meantime, let them enjoy their inflated pride.

I have never understood why we are doing business with a country that is supposed to be our enemy.

The only thing I can think of is NWO.

Has it ever occurred to anyone that China’s former leaders once ruled out West’s Communism?

China will never have Western-style democracy

Neither will the U.S.A. if the Democrats have their way.

I like your optimism. Thanks for posting the article. Interesting.

Of course not and they will never have capitalism either.

"We will never copy the Western model of political system," he said as he gave details about the congress, which meets every five years.

History says the same thing: in all of China's long history, it has never had a representative government.

My own guess is that it won't develop one since I believe that there is no historical dynamic working here to create one.

Instead, Red China will continue the long history of rule from above, which has at least featured meritocratic elements at various times.

Who didn't know that?

[river rat]

After seeing the mess we’ve made of “democracy” — who can blame the Chinese for not wanting to mimic the disaster we’ve made of our “democracy”?

The illiterate, nonproductive, illegals, perverts, racists, welfare dependent and run of the mill assholes now control our fate as a result of our irresponsible “democracy”..

France is the West. China will need to observe the many kinds of state constitution a while longer before they decide what to do. 5000 years of watching and it’s still too soon to pick a winner.

China rules out West's democracy (China will never have Western-style democracy)

Well, duh.
China, by merit of it's location...would have be an Eastern Democracy.

I'm usually a pessimist, but I suspect that mainland China might
hit something resembling a Western-style democracy withing 30 years.

Too much of the old, rich Commie establishment is going rotten,
too much of the young, traveled Chinese (as well as the growing
Christian demographic) might just pull off the coup.
In favor of democractic/republican government.

It'll probably happen while the CIA says "it'll never happen".

Sort of like the way the CIA didn't see the fall of The Berlin Wall.

China rules out West's democracy (China will never have Western-style democracy)

And why would they want to? Look at what kind of problems having Democrats has caused for us. Why would they willingly entertain treason if they didn't have to? Kudos to the Chinese...

If we could stifle treason we'd certainly have the best system of government on the planet. Perhaps they'll learn from our mistakes.

As it is, the two party system is on it's way towards melding and establishing a socialist plutocracy where politicians are the aristocrats and Democrat party members are a protected class. The rest of us are tax-bearers or revenue gatherers...

[edsheppa]

Agreed, famous last words. But soon is kind of relative. I’ve been thinking by mid-century. You?

[HeartlandOfAmerica]

China rules out West's democracy

Yeah. Why go for a winner when you can go second stringer???

These "former" communist countrys are all saying this. What they fail to recognize is that to get part of the winning ticket, you have to take the whole thing. Democracy, economics, military subordinate to political leadership, captialism, free markets, property ownership, rule of law ... all of it, or it simply doesn't work.

There are many flourishing democracies in the world where it was once said it can never happen.
