Re: Shift in China's Economic policy
Actually here is a paper on the Beijing conensus by the guy who coined the term. He seems to think in the long term, China will not be the new model due to the fact that their growth was not due to state management (largely, he does give exceptions) but to the liberalization of its institutions.Metacrock wrote:I know. we have to be friends with that many of anything.

Re: Shift in China's Economic policy
I saw a thing on china on PBS I think it was a report for the News hour. They have a propaganda machine that masquerades as a news organization in the west. CCN. Something like that. they tell their guys as reporters their job is propaganda. They have these confusion institutes that are part of the propaganda machine but are supposed to be academic. Confucius not confusion.
see they can't be any good they have propaganda. unlike us! we don't have no propaganda we have truth!

Re: Shift in China's Economic policy
Lol. We have a Confucius institute in Ku. It really is funny. Their state capitalism (on top of women's rights) is something that Confucius would have hated. He always considered the merchant class to be parasites.Metacrock wrote:I saw a thing on china on PBS I think it was a report for the News hour.

But yes, one of my teacher's has to self edit his work in order to protect his colleages in China.

Re: Shift in China's Economic policy
It happens, oh, also quick news. Apparently China actually rans a large deficit with the US this Quarter. Probably just a random data point but it does show the decreasing number of exports China is having to deal with.

Re: Shift in China's Economic policy
Now You want to talk about totalitarians. I really am afraid of China becuase of their lack of regard for human rights. That's not true of Cheese as a a whole but is true of the government.mdsimpson92 wrote:It happens, oh, also quick news. Apparently China actually rans a large deficit with the US this Quarter.

Do you have any historical insight into dissenting movements in China?

They have not been totalitarian since the era of Mao and the Cultural Revolution. What they are is what I would call "soft" authoritarianism. To be honest, they have in generally been improving slowly over the past 20 years. My professor in Chinese reform said that he and the locals can now do things today that would have gotten them arrested 10-20 years ago.

Re: Shift in China's Economic policy
Well, in historical context there is the Chinese Mandate of Heaven that was conceived in the Zhou Dynasty when they overthrew the shang dynasty. In the old days, heaven would support what was considered the most virtuous family/rulers, but, eventually that family would become corrupt and would neglect their duties. Thus a new dynasty would overthrow the previous one, thus continuing the cycle.Metacrock wrote:Now You want to talk about totalitarians.

If you are talking about today's protestors I believe they are called "rightful resistors" who use China's own laws when the courts fail, through protests and lawyers.

Much of China's issues on human rights would be dealt with if they fully implemented the laws they have on paper. But that is the issue of implementing laws from central to local governments。 天高地远 "Heaven is high and the Emperor is far away."
