ANDRE VLTCHEK—First of all, the expression democracy: It loosely means ‘rule of the people’. It doesn’t stipulate that a truly democratic country has to follow a Western multi-party/corporate model, or more concretely, a model in which big corporations and ‘powerful individuals’ are financing political campaigns (while backing the candidates), and de facto selecting the governments. In the West, and in its ‘client states’, most of the ordinary people are destined to serve the corporate interests, and the government is there to make sure that they do not break ‘the rules’.

Even close to home, the South China Morning Post went all haywire at Baba Beijing using its very functional and participatory communist-socialist democracy to change its laws. Across the West, words like dictator and totalitarian are being bandied about with indignant self-righteousness: How dare the Chinese, they refuse to adopt our superior Western way of life…

TAIWANESE SEPARATISTS ARE SO SINO-SCREWED, ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.
30 minutes readJEFF J. BROWN—Starting in 1972, with the US and China now no longer mortal enemies, Uncle Sam backed off being so in-your-face with using Taiwan as a base of subversion. In any case, America was going down in flames in Southeast Asia, which was one of the reasons Nixon pulled off such an amazing diplomatic turnaround, in hopes of getting Mao to stop supplying the communist North Viet Cong with arms and intelligence.
