I would like to add that the smartest move China took was in controlling the growth of their population. The only reason I can think of for a country to want to increase the population would be to produce connsumers which is based on greed. These consumers will eventually not have enough space or resources to live decent lives. It is a waste of time to protect resources and recycle unless we have population control. You can usually attribute most problems on this planet to unwanted and unnecessay births. Today very few people have the time or money to raise more then one child properly.

Descent general piece on China. Most of the ‘improvements’ suggested by the author could also apply to us, even more so.
China seems to be slowly coming out of oppression & we seem to be getting into it. Who would ever thought that we would look up to the Chinese for inspiration.

I echo mgunn’s thoughts: this is a great essay. It manages to hit all the important points without sounding overly critical.

An interesting article but due to the obdurate nature of the CCP I doubt that they will pay any attention to it. Also, there is no specific reference to the responsibility to minority rights and human rights which defines a nation’s level of morality. The Chinese government scoffs at morality but all nations should know that morality resides at the heart of the human spirit and that ultimately there is a very real cost to any nation that abandons the concept, both in economic terms and in mental health outcomes for its people

Disturbing lock of character and vision. Political Neanderthal ism wearing horse glaces.

What a well thought-out, diplomatic, and eloquent article.

Quite a number of millionaires leaving China, first chance they get. That cannot bode well.
