And the new capitalism that is sweeping China will only alienate folks without some kind of moral compass. Forbes’ recent issue about “Thug Capitalism” like that in Russia and Eastern Europe will definitely be a turn-off.

A one-party state cannot long survive, especially in these times when information is so readliy available. The disaffection of an educated middle-class will be accelerated though knowledge of corruption. It is only a matter of time before Castro, Chavez, Mugabe, and their ilk are done for.

True. They need to learn to pretend they have two parties like we do here.

Sorry, my cynicism levels have been rather elevated lately. I guess I need to take more garlic or something.

Is there any evidence show that educated middle-class would have more tolerance about corruption in a two-party state?

Oppositely,the one-party state may last even longer than you have expected,especially in these times when information is so readily available.The more we know from internet, the harder we realise our development.We must draw together more closer than before,do we have a brighter future.

What makes you think”The disaffection of an educated middle-class will be accelerated though knowledge of corruption. “? You know the public opinion of Chinese. Can you share where you found this info? Or imagined by yourselves.
Chinese has the different situation from any other countries in the world.Large population,developing countries,so the regime/policy will be different from other countries either.The best regime may not be the appropriate regime for China.Don’t put your own cap on others’ heads.

It’s the “barbarian /autarchy “authority who arrived at the disaster center around 4 hours after it happened.What about the New Orleans disaster?

It’s the “barbarian /autarchy “authority who leads their people to live a better life.
It’s the “barbarian /autarchy “dominator who are improving their practices.Opener than before.
.....

You won’t know the real”barbarian” regime in China until you get rid of your born bias.
