[QUOTE="Ophiolite, post: 74837977, member: 234799"] So, just to be clear, you are not talking about an initial lie. A pity you didn't make that clear in your original post. We wouldn't both have wasted our time. It doesn't compromise my characterisation of China as a dictatorship with a population accustomed to dictatorship, which was my point. You seem to think I am defending China, or promoting them in some way. Let me make it clear - as it has been to anyone with their eyes open for the last couple of decades - China will almost certainly be the single super-power of this century on the strength of their dictatorial methods, commitment to technology and long term planning, where "long term" is something greater than an election cycle. The USA is effectively yielding it's leadership role through its farcical bipartisanship: a divided country, with much to be divided about. I presume you are talking about the Chinese. I suggest you re-read what I wrote and ask me questions if you still don't understand it. I can try to do a better job of explaining, once I grasp the nature of your confusion. [/QUOTE]
