No Democracy in China

Well, let's not pretend that China's government isn't throwing oppressive policies around. We don't have to look any further than Taiwan and Tibet to see exactly how little we should be celebrating their behavior.

China no longer sees the Taiwan issue as a problem since President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) took office. Nevertheless, it continues to deploy more missiles along its southeast coast, which now number about 1,500.

and:

DHARMSALA, India (AP) - Tibet has become "hell on earth" under Chinese oppression that has driven Tibetan culture to the verge of extinction, the Dalai Lama said Tuesday, in harsh comments marking the 50th anniversary of the failed uprising that sent him into exile.

Hard for me to cheer China on.

I am not cheering their actions like these, rather just the one action of them openly saying that they are not going to be a Democracy. This is different then most of the other non-democractic countries around which instead of saying 'no' they try to mix a bit of democracy into their systems in order to please Western governments.
