Complete video at: http://fora.tv/2008/05/07/Mark_Leonard_What_Does_China_Think
Mark Leonard, Executive Director of the European Council on Foreign Relations, discusses the current state of democratic reforms in China, arguing that experimentation with democracy may have the result of making the Chinese one-party state stronger rather than weaker.
-----
The extraordinary economic growth and reemergence of China on the world stage has underscored how little is really known about this rising power. China is clearly a global player that will impact international relations throughout the twenty-first century.

Representation is a bad idea. People who support that merely follow a normal path, how they have seen life is and are hypocritical. Representation is undemocratic and it is the cause of the social problems, because tyranny always renders others in an unbearable situation. Get rid of everything about the present system and replace it with an egalitarian direct participatory democracy, where nobody can say 'I have more right to be here than you do'

This guy's a propagandist.

doubt that anyone in the USA would want to change the sacred Constitution to pursue your idea.
|
I don't think that Americans understand their constitution to make that comparison. And things that are different from participatory democracy are due to contemporary byrocracy, which is only uses the constitution as an excuse for irresponsible personal gain. Such is the capitalist economy. Very hypocritical and deceitful.
