How you think I was advocating violence in that statement is way beyond me.

in a country like China, both democracy and developing speed are needed. how to assure speed? centralization of power. its not as easy to practise democracy in a country with so vast land and 2000 yrs of totalitarian tradition as in a country founded by a bunch of travllers 2 hundred yrs ago.

Is loving China the anti-Christ of elections? If you love China, you must hate democracy? None sense. I like China and I like democracy.
I'm an ethnic French Canadian in every aspect, grew up and born in Quebec, I had no idea if the majority of people wanted to separate until after the referendum. How could I?

who said i hate democracy? now its you that got a half ass conclusion. my stance on demorcracy is above. btw did and does the Dalai Lama practise democracy? as far as i know, they still attach much importance to divination when they have to make decisions.

That's the very reason we don't take the CCP seriously anywhere outside China.

then just come to China to do a probe, see if most people support the government on Tibet.
