It is fine to respectfully congratulate the chinese on their culture and the games. However, facism may make the trains run on time and the Parks stay clean. But, do not unconditionally praise facist society unless you would be happy to live in one yourself!

A survey conducted by a foreign company showed China ranking first among all countries surveyed in terms of how satisfied they are with the country’s direction. Quick, someone tell the Chinese they’re supposed to be unhappy and miserable…

Chinese satisfaction with the country soared in recent years, according to a survey of Chinese adults after the onset of civil unrest over Tibet and before the May 12 earthquake in southwestern China.

This is clearly a nation that sees itself as ascendant, and that leads to tremendous satisfaction with the way things are going nationwide, even though the people are still struggling on an individual level,” said Andrew Kohut, president of the Pew Research Center, which
conducted the survey.

Eighty-six percent of the Chinese surveyed said they were content with the country’s direction, up from 48 percent in 2002 and a full 25 percentage points higher than the next highest country, Australia. And 82 percent of Chinese were satisfied with their national economy, up
from 52 percent. By comparison, only 23 percent of Americans surveyed said they were satisfied with the country’s direction and only 20 percent said the U.S. economy was good.
