But as far as being inhumane, China is pretty hard to beat. Especially today, where forced sterilizations and abortions, torture, capricious executions, etc. are the rule of the day. And as a man, I'm shocked and appalled at some of the things they're allowed to do to women over there. It's right in league with those crazy-a$$ Muslim freaks! They don't treat women so badly over there. Don't believe the PC hype CNN feeds you. Moreover I judge a civilization by more tangible parameters such as demographic, economic, and of course military strength. And in all but demographic, china is number two in the world after the U.S, not bad for a race of "cruel and barbaric" people eh?
