While I'm no expert on China, I can only say after 3 trips to China over the course of the last 4 years, the people of China only want a life that is peaceful and not obstructed by all of the phony claptrap being generated by the so called experts on the "Chinese problem".

To the average guy on the street, to some extent thats true. And in a way that is, and isn't the problem.

In and of itself, that is a good thing, to want a better life. And we want it for them. Period.

The way it is bad is that there is a government standing in between the people and those people coming to a real understanding of the world, Taiwan, and the US. What about the phony claptrap the CCP dishes out?

By the way, they don't like people talking about them, sure, I know. Many of the things said about China though are completely true.

The true aims of many of the common people do not square at all with the true aims of the Communist Party, and economics isn't the whole thing. The CCP is trying to save their own butts. Instead of being a dictatorship, they want to be a rich dictatorship.

Evil ideology aside, the ChiComs are just another Chinese dynasty, and like any dynasty it seeks to perpetuate itself and its children in power and wealth forever and ever. In other words, they killed the landlord class so that THEY could be the landlords.
