not so simple (Score 1)

I'm not an expert, but I did major in East Asian Languages and Civilizations, and I have many Chinese friends. What many here in the US don't understand is that the Chinese Communist Party has legitimized itself by becoming the bastion of nationalism, and in general Chinese are highly nationalistic. They see the current China (with its flaws) as a step toward a future China that will have overcome the past few centuries of foreign humiliation. Many of them see Western concern about human rights to be a mask for a policy that attempts to divide and conquer China again. I'm not talking about hardcore extremists here: this is a moderate belief in China. I guess what I'm trying to say is that you should learn something about the people and the history before you apply your principles blindly. It's not so simple. Also, the county is no longer communist by any reasonable definition of the term. They have a one-party authoritarian government that is primarily interested in military strength and economic growth.
