The term "democracy" on the mainland has gone through so many rounds in the CCP propaganda machine that it is not even funny.

It is the most propagandized word in CCP language...

PS...The original aims of Dr. Sun, and the Revolution of 1911 are still the very key to solving many of China's problems...90 years later...

Don't know if I'm as optimistic about a Chinese republic. When 90% of the population is Han, there need to be some pretty strong checks and balances to insure that place like Tibet and Xinjiang don't just end up like they are now. It's depressing that even well educated, liberal Chinese still tow thw party line about the 'indivisibilty of the motehrland,' yada yada yada. Even if the average Chinese person gets more say, Tibet is still screwed, I think. As unlikely as it is, independance, not Sun's vision, is what Tibet needs.
