Kitsune:
For someone who claims to have spent time in central China you don't seem to have a very good understanding of what's what. How about expressing a little appreciation and sympathy for the long suffering Chinese peasants.
It was supposed to be their revolution. They form the majority of the Chinese population (some 750 million people), and they have suffered longer and more deeply than anyone. They were promised so much. They were supposed to be liberated by the great experiment in social equality called Communism, but they have ended up back at the bottom of the pile. It is a betrayal of monumental proportions, considering the roots of the Communist revolution and its original aims, a betrayal that could end up having colossal consequences for the Communist Party of China.
