China is teetering on the verge of a new form of government. Many of its citizens are pro-capitalist, and I believe that if it weren't for the pride of the old party leadership, China would abandon their dinosaur leaders.

I think that by bringing China into the capitalist world we will turn them against their oppressive government in time. I hope the Bush team knows the appropriate steps to take that will empower Chinese citizens without empowering their government.

I guess they could use the Patriot Act, E.O. 13033, military tribunals, and "executive privileges" claimed by the current administration as working models for implementation of such 'citizen empowerment.'
