The Chinese view their government as an emergent expression of their own beliefs and values....Their Gov’t is not a threatening separate entity from its citizens that they feel the need to be protected from, but a conduit through which the public can enact ideas and change for the betterment of their “collective” society.

Some think this is why the US deems their population a threat:...that we cannot match their capability if our gov’t and citizenry are eternally at each other’s throats.

I’m telling ya... When the Chinese hosted the Olympics in Beijing.. While watching their opening ceremony.. I had a sinking feeling that we could be in deep trouble. Their discipline and machine-like precision looked unmatchable.. Freakin’ scary.

Yep. Just like Tienanmen Square where the students voiced their “ideas and change for the betterment of their ‘collective” society.’ And the Government kindly responded in a ‘non-threatening’ way by permanently removing at least 10,000 students, passersby, local residents, press, and sympathetic military personnel, many whose remains were fire-hosed down the sewers ...
