Look at it this way, 国人: would you trust China if you weren't Chinese? Ask
your neighbors in Vietnam, Korea, Japan, India, the Philippines and
Malaysia.
Me, I mistrust a one-party state of any size but that's just me being
American. I could trust a multi-party, democratic China - consider Taiwan,
for example.
But fear not, 国人; change is coming to mainland China, the Communist Party
notwithstanding. When a one-party state hosts an Olympics, ten years later
things are very different there. To wit:
1936: Berlin Olympics / Garmisch-Partenkirchen Winter Olympics
1946: Allied Occupation
1980: Moscow Olympics
1990: Collapse of Communism
1984: Sarajevo Winter Olympics
1994: Yugoslav Civil War
2008: Beijing Olympics
2018: ?
Remember,国人, you read it here first. Let's both hope China manages a
smooth regime change – for once in your history! |
