Incidentally I also disagree that China's regime is communist, in fact they're more capitalist than the US or any EU country in almost every significant way. |
Not any? She can't vote for the major in her city?
Semi- democratic as in not all can vote only the communist party members... I guess..

Your girlfriend couldn't vote in America 100 years ago, and black people couldn't vote 150 year ago, yet America was still 'democratic' in the sense that a group of people elected government officials. In China, 100 million members of the Communist Party vote. Just like America's past restrictions on women and minority voting, it isn't as democratic but there is still a democratic mechanism at work.
China is a mixed economy where publically owned and privately owned businesses compete in the market. China refers to it as Socialism with Chinese characteristics. Its not communism as defined by Marx in 1840, but the definition of democracy, captialism, and many other political ideologies have changed a lot in their definition too.

We are already going to have a second great depression in like a year or two, that news isnt much of a shock or catalyst of this. They gov already set things in motion by denying extended unemployment and failing to create jobs.

To all those who said it damages US, this one serves HUGE CROW for you. Damn, imagine tension it brings between Commies, lol. Divide et Impera!!! |
Sure. In the same way a terrorist bombing in Israel that injuries a chinese guy isn't an anti-israel attack.

But why do you need the weapons? Defence is just a big drain on resources, Amercan weapons companies don't produce anything of intrinsic value unless you 'need' an army which I don't believe you do. All those skilled people and hours could be put to use in science and general engineering for the same cost and produce something of net worth. @Kasz216 I'm not suggesting all countries give up military power, just the stable ones under no external threat (UK, USA, France, Germany, Australia, Japan, Canada). Israel, Taiwan, former-USSR states and a number of others have excellent reasons for keeping a military. |
That is an absurd idea. Every country has a right to operate it's own military. The military organization serves many more purposes than just combat roles. If only people didn't take for granted the humanitarian missions and how much more we accomplish than just "invading other countries" all the time -_-
