Chinese Human Rights Activist arrested for asking for basic rights - Polidicks

if they get rights then we will pay more for stuff.

Well, what the hell made anybody entitled to these rights? Sure, it's nice and all. But I don't recall many people doing anything that deserves any "Rights"

[QUOTE=McSanchez;19220532]China isn't even close to communist. They're about as capitalist as possible.[/QUOTE] Their market is. They have a communist/totalitarian government.

CHINA STRONG. a

[QUOTE=TheAnarchist;19223141]Define communist goverment, please.[/QUOTE] Once you can spell Government correctly, I'll tell you.

[QUOTE=Uberman77883;19223073]Their market is. They have a communist/totalitarian government.[/QUOTE] Communism is an economic, not political, system. There's no such thing as a communist government.

[QUOTE=PvtCupcakes;19220547]It's not our job to tell other countries what to do. If the Chinese people are upset, they can overthrow their government. We don't need to do the same thing we did to Iraq, the people of China may not even like the form of government we give them. And don't use the one guy in the OP as a way of saying that every Chinese person is like that. Let them create the government THEY WANT; don't try to give them something WE WANT.[/QUOTE] First of all, try rebelling against a government if that government imprisons anyone that tries to suggest new ideas in a non-violent manner. Second of all, I don't recall us invading China and trying to set up a satellite nation. I don't know how you think Iraq is related at all or why you even brought it up.

[QUOTE=Gordon Frohm;19210194]you can't [B]really[/B] call them communist either nowadays... (NK really is communist, china not really anymore... much like vietnam which isn't really communist at all anymore but still claims it is)[/QUOTE] Stop giving this man disagrees, he's right. China instills fear in their people, they're not doing communism right.

[QUOTE=strongreaction;19227984]Stop giving this man disagrees, he's right. China instills fear in their people, they're not doing communism right.[/QUOTE] No, the reason he said that is that China is actually capitalist and the only aspect of communism they have is the dictatorship.

Wikipedia already has a picture and article of him... [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/8b/VOA_CHINESE_liuxiaobo.jpg[/img] [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liu_Xiaobo[/url]

[QUOTE=Tanner;19230497]China =/= dictatorship. Communism =/= dictatorship. Bone up on everything.[/QUOTE] Totalitarianism, oligarchy, whatever.

Chine is fucked up.
