The US mid-term election on Tuesday was a very important event in American political life. As most polls indicated, Democrats lost its control of the House of Representatives to the Republicans amid high unemployment and unprecedented government deficit. Just two years ago, voters elected Barack Obama with their anger toward former President George W. Bush's unpopular wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. In just two years, voters' anger has turned against Obama and the Democrats because of his administration's inability to improve the unemployment situation in the US and his huge government spending in rescuing banks and big business.
All politics is local, as Dick O'Neil, former US House speaker from Massachusetts once said. Most Americans cast their votes according to their own economic situation and what is happening in their local communities. However, foreign policies always loom large in American politics. This year is no exception. The Obama administration has skirmished a few times with China in the past two years partly because many heavyweight Democrats wanted to accumulate political capital with American voters by taking a tough position on China. Despite all that, many Republican candidates were still using China as a scapegoat in their campaign efforts. One Republican video advertisement shows a Chinese professor and his Chinese students. In the ad, the Chinese professor is saying that Rome fell, and other empires fell, and now the US is falling, all because they made the same mistake of overspending. We are the biggest creditor to the US, and now the Americans have to work for us. The implied message is that the Obama administration is getting the US deeper into debt, and will cause the US to go bankrupt. Therefore, voters should elect Republican candidates to get back control of Congress.
The Democrats were using similar methods to sway voters. I went to a Democratic rally in downtown Asheville, North Carolina, recently, where former President Bill Clinton came to speak to rally support for the Democratic candidate Heath Shuler for reelection to Congress. More than 5,000 people showed up to hear Clinton's speech. Downtown Asheville was filled with political slogans and signs. One slogan said: Stop Secret Corporate Ad Buys. I wondered what it meant. I went up to one woman who held such a sign, and asked her what her message was. She said that countries like China were infiltrating US politics. They provided money to US corporations, and they used the money to buy secret political advertisement to sway voters in the US. She was not very friendly to me when I asked her the question.
Whichever party controls Congress, in the end, will not change American foreign policy significantly, and will not change over American domestic politics very much, either. One prominent American scholar once said that elections do not change much. Social movement does. I think that he is right. The American political system is one of the most conservative systems in the world, and it resists change. Even though around election time, politicians always say how important and crucial the election results will be for their future, after the vote it is often business as usual again.
One thing is certain though. The United States is on a path to decline for the moment, with its unemployment and unprecedented government deficit. It does not matter which party is in control of Congress, it will not be able to change this trend.
At the end of World WarⅡ, the US held 75 percent of the world's gold, and produced 50 percent of the world's GDP. All the major countries were indebted to the US at the time. In a little over 60 years, the US government squandered its huge fortunes over many unpopular wars. The Americans have fought more wars than any other country in the world since then. Many American people used to say that war is good for business. That may be true for business people. There is no doubt that many businesses prospered with American wars. But wars are not necessarily good for the state or ordinary citizens in the long run.
It is time for American politicians to stop blaming others for its problems and illnesses, and face the challenges and problems they generated themselves. American politicians always preach to the world about the virtues of democracy. If a democratic system of government cannot correct itself, and is always fighting more wars, what good is democracy?

'It's every citizen's duty to stand up'

Large Medium Small Almost everyone in Harbin knows Liu Tianxiao, a 60-year-old social crusader whose fans call him the city's "deputy mayor".
The retired teacher hit the headlines in December last year when he threw a half-empty plastic bottle of water at Yang Hui, deputy director of Harbin's bureau of commodity prices, during a government hearing to discuss a proposed water rate hike.
"I had no choice but to throw something, otherwise they wouldn't have let me speak," said Liu, one of 12 "resident representatives" invited to the hearing in the capital of Northeast China's Heilongjiang province.
"I couldn't understand why none of the other (representatives) opposed the price hike, especially as 99 percent of Harbin citizens I had talked to all objected," he said.
He used his speech to protest and accuse Harbin Water Company of providing a poor service (Yang later said Liu was given about 9 minutes to talk instead of the usual 5 minutes). He also accused his fellow representatives of being government workers. However, officials agreed to the price increase.
Liu's principal is based on the belief that authorities should "learn to put people first by accepting, respecting and protecting rights".
In 2006, he tried to take Shi Zhongxin, then-mayor of Harbin, to court for the alleged misconduct of his government. The city's courts refused to file his case.
"I don't really care about the result when I defend people's rights, I just want my voice heard. It's what everyone should do," said Liu.
Most people turn a blind eye to wrongdoing, especially by officials with governments or State-owned enterprises, he complained, adding that people fear it is not possible to take on "powerful giants".
In 2004, Liu discovered Agricultural Bank of China was charging customers 10 yuan ($1.50) a year for using natural gas top-up cards, even though the gas provider was already paying for the service.
"Ten yuan is nothing but Harbin has around 1 million households, which means the bank was getting an extra 10 million yuan every year. It's not right," said Liu.
He began to collect evidence and, just before court proceedings began, Agricultural Bank of China decided to refund the fee and has since scrapped the charge.
"If I didn't stand up against the (rights violation), who knows how long the bank would've charged us," he said. "It's a citizen's obligation."
Many Harbin residents have hailed Liu's efforts - "He speaks for us and truly represents us," one city bus driver told China Daily - while others believe he is simply out to gain publicity.
Liu said China needs more whistleblowers. "Our purpose is to see China become a better country. Authorities should learn to admit mistakes and provide solutions instead of hiding the truth," he said.

The illusion of China's rise
Recently, Netizens -- the Chinese term for people who are free to act as citizens only anonymously on the Internet --have coined a title for a new special elite called "Naked Officials." These "Naked Officials" move their cash and their dear ones -- wives, children, concubines -- abroad, buying houses for them to settle down in in their new country. Meanwhile, these "Naked Officials" continue to live in China but usually have several passports in hand. They are prepared to escape China at any moment to join their families abroad.
What kind of lives have the Chinese people led in the 60 years under the rule of the single-party state? There is a simple saying from Netizens to sum up the years of the Red Empire of the People's Republic of China, from Mao to today. This saying, which has spread far and wide on the Internet, goes like this:
In the name of revolution, they justified killing.
In the name of the people, they justified nationalization.
In the name of reform, they divided the spoils of the nation.
In the name of harmony, everyone must now shut their mouths.
In China, we have no independent trade unions, farmers' unions, chambers of commerce or industry associations -- only countless silent workers who have no sense of rights and no channels of complaint. In China, we have no independent media or independent academic research -- only television, radio, newspapers, publishing houses, research institutes and universities which are either mouthpieces of the government or subject to the party's control. In China, we have no independent and registered human rights and environmental NGOs, and no independent foundations. Those public interest researchers and lawyers who try to be watchdogs and uphold the Chinese Constitution are watched themselves and suppressed when they try to contribute

You're a pathetic excuse for a man, China. Have you gotten over your breakup with the China girl of yours?

Western political models impossible to co
Over the years, in the name of offering advice for political restructuring, some Western forces and their supporters have constantly put forward the so-called "constitutional reform" proposals focusing on multi-party systems and the separation of the government into three powers. In doing so, the advocates Western democracy, freedom and human rights mislead the public as well as attack the leadership of the Communist Party of China and the socialist system.
All these things reflect their thoughts that China should copy the Western political system. It is rooted in the wrong and harmful idea that the "party rotation," "separation of powers" and "parliamentary democracy" in Western countries are the best systems and are suited for any country.
The precondition for the formation of Western political models is both shameful and impossible to copy.
First, the development of Western countries was based on horrifying pillage and plunder over a long time. According to data provided by Western scholars, for 500 years, 30 million Native Americans suffered genocide and 50 million black slaves were sold to the Americas as a free labor force.
Second, under the pattern of global production and distribution, Western developed countries grabbed the utmost profits, and their development is based on the exploitation of third-world countries. If the wealth base were removed, the so-called electoral and multi-party systems would be difficult to maintain.
So far, almost all third-world countries that simply copied the democratic systems of Western nations have failed, and one important reason is that they do not have as much wealth as Western countries do. If serious interest conflicts occur in a pluralist society, the election will lose effectiveness, and social interests will definitely be redistributed through violence.
In order to reduce internal interest conflicts, Western countries have to establish expensive welfare systems through high transfer payments, but the basis of the welfare systems is the enormous wealth and resources they have been exacting from other parts of the world.
The Western world’s so-called democratic system and functioning civil society would quickly collapse without this basis. For example, riots broke out in Paris and several other French cities in 2005, mainly because a large number of Arabian immigrants, especially youths, found it difficult to land jobs after they moved to France and gradually became resentful of the society. If we go deep enough, we may discover the underlying cause is wealth. The French welfare system is not able to cover all immigrants after all.
What happened after a hurricane hit the relatively poor New Orleans, Louisiana in the United States in August 2005 is yet another example. Due to many rape allegations and armed robberies in the disaster-stricken areas, the army for hurricane relief had to drive armored vehicles and be fully armed. This will never happen in China.
There have been no more than 20 Western developed countries since the 18th century. This bloc has a total population of up to 1 billion, accounting for one-seventh to one-eighth of the world's total. One billion people is the limit of this "rich man's club" because there is no way to make their extravagant life style universal.
We certainly admit and borrow ideas from all the achievements of human civilization, including some useful practices and experiences of Western countries.
However, there is absolutely no reason for us to copy them. The excellent situation of modern China is a hard-won achievement — especially under the volatile international situation and the growing economic crisis. The superior ability of socialist countries to concentrate strength on major problems is continually reflected.
If we copy Western countries, we will lose the ideological basis of the common struggle and the strong leadership core. As a result, the country will soon become a mess and the great cause of national rejuvenation will never be realized.
The Chinese road is a whole new road of the whole nation with independence, hard work, self-esteem and self-improvement and has been created by the lives and blood of millions of Chinese people. However, certain people want to become a new political force through relying on foreign forces. They use dry, abstract sermons and political terms to cover up their selfishness and these people will eventually be cast aside for the people.

And in Canada, we want to put some 70 year old woman away for life as a 'dangerous offender' for protesting.
And many on this forum agreed with that idea, didn't they?
A HUGE difference between some idiot prosecutor wanting to put her away, and the Chinese doing it!
And she actually broke a law.
Or three.
