"i think this is the least of the many problems going on with china at the moment…mass executions, organ harvesting, occupying tibet, supporting the sudanese government, supporting the burmese government, supporting the north korean government, no free speech, restricted net access, no democracy, kidnapping of male children due to the ‘one child’ policy, mass abortion of female fetuses because of the same, extreme rural poverty, desertification (thousands of square km a year), pollution, rising inflation, eczema, headaches, split ends, bad cakes (it’s true), earthquakes, monssons and flooding. they are, in my experience, unceasingly optimistic, hospitable and friendly people. unless you’re a cat."
The U.S has mass executions too - it's called the death penalty. Occupying Tibet, like how the US occupies many territories? Supporting the Sudanese government - like how the US supported a corrupt Pakistani government, installed a corrupt Afghanistan government and Iraqi government? China didn't support North Korea in the latest conflict between N.K and The U.S. China wanted a non-nuclear arsenal in the Korean Peninsula. No free speech and no democracy - like American wire tapings, and the patriot act? How the president can veto anything he wants, even though congress, elected officials by the people voted in favor of a proposed bill? Extreme rural poverty, like New Orleans, Detroit, and the average American being 40 000 dollars in debt, and have no health care? Pollution - like how the US complains about their pollution but decides to do nothing about their own? Rising inflation - like the US is currently having rising inflation and falling house prices?
The reason why China is slowly becoming democratic is because they don't want to make the same dumb mistake Russia did - an overnight change of government. Why do you think Russia keeps talking about "the old days" being the better days? China is at a point of change, just like the West after the second world war.
Do you know why the cat problem happened? Because pets were banned for the longest time until recently. Everyone, with this new freedom, ran out and bought a pet, except they didn't know anything on how to raise or take care of their pets, and therefore got rid of them.
