The Information Office of China's State Council issued on October 19 a white paper on China's political democracy, vowing to actively push forward the reforms of its political system although, it said, tremendous achievements had been scored in this regard.
The white paper, issued by the Information Office of China's State Council, or the cabinet, is the first of its kind in China, giving a detailed account of the inception, development and contents of the socialist political democracy and the principles the country will abide by.
The document, titled Building of Political Democracy in China, also points out the problems the country has to overcome and major steps to be taken in the reforms of its political system.
The socialist political democracy "is the apt choice suited to China's conditions and meeting the requirement of social progress," said the white paper. (this is the first I've heard of paper talking).
Such democracy has enabled the Chinese people, who account for one fifth of the world's population, "to become masters of their own country and society, and enjoy extensive democratic rights," the white paper says.
In building socialist political democracy, China has always adhered to the basic principle that the Marxist theory of democracy be combined with the reality of China, it says.
In the process, China has also borrowed from the useful achievements of the political civilization of mankind, including Western democracy, and assimilated the democratic elements of from China's traditional culture and institutional civilization.
"Therefore, China's socialist political democracy shows distinctive Chinese characteristics," says the white paper.
Such characteristics are as follows:
-- China's democracy is a people's democracy under the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC).
-- China's democracy is a democracy in which the overwhelming majority of the people act as masters of State affairs.
-- China's democracy is a democracy guaranteed by the people's democratic dictatorship.
-- China's democracy is a democracy with democratic centralism as the basic organizational principle and mode of operation.

Okay, then! Am I the only one to see a distinct problem here? I know that WALMART and GOOGLE have swallowed this. But, personally, I'm having a little problem understanding this position.
.
This makes our Constitutional misinterpretations look like a cakewalk! And given that statement about borrowing from Western Democracy, it is starting to become more clear which direction our politicians are leading us!
Let's continue, shall we? Can someone tell me what a Marxist Socialist Political Democracy, under the leadership of the communist party and guaranteed by a democratic DICTATORSHIP is?

There's something really, really wrong going on here! Don't have the ammunition to blast it, yet. But, I think we need to keep our eyes WIDE OPEN! Blognomicon hasn't been black-balled, yet. (Try posting in Chinese and see how fast you get nailed). But GunShowOnTheNet did two, three months back. You see, I put on the blog "To HELL with Tyrants!" in a number of different languages. Including two different Chinese dialects. They lasted approximately 12 hours - then 'poof' gone! Or rather scrambled beyond recognition, I should say. (Funny thing about that, as this was well before Sergey's announcement, and doesn't Google own Blogger?)
.
Isn't there something wrong in supporting a government that is repressive of the Rights of its people? Yet, every single time we buy something made in China. We aid in the continued oppression of its people. Wonder what the Founders would think about that? Or, does anybody even care what the men, who brought us freedom, would think?
.
Anyone who values TRUE FREEDOM, would surely want to deeply consider the merit of buying products from a DICTATORSHIP. By any other name it can be called, it's still TYRANNY!

And, here is an add-on; My coffee pot went out earlier. The only store open at midnight is, of course, WalMart! So, despite my distaste, (hypocrisy - ON), I caved and went there. I AM A COFFEEHOLIC, I MUST HAVE MY COFFEE. To curb my guilt, I thought to myself, I'll get a U.S. made coffee-maker. WRONG! Every last coffee-maker known to mankind is made in China!
.
This causes another train of thought. Just what DO we make in the U.S.? Anything? What in the HELL is happening to US? Never mind, think I answered my own question.
.
ONE more thing! Decided to look into the LEGAL RAMIFICATIONS of my Hypocritical Act. And, much to my dismay, I discovered that I'm guilty of Aiding and Abetting;
aid
intr. & tr.v. aid·ed, aid·ing, aids
1. The act or result of helping; assistance.
4. A monetary payment to a feudal lord by a vassal in medieval England.

Guilt and Coffee, yeah, I'll have NO PROBLEM sleeping tonight!
