The USA must press Egypt, or Saudi Arabia or Bahrain on Democracy. More people have died in these three countries in the past 2 years alone at the hands of their own security services than have been by the "evil" CCP.
Yet they are class A "allies" AKA puppets as long as they serve US interests. I say ----- that, ----- the USA and ----- your vague definition of "democracy".
People in Saudi Arabia are still being beheaded like ISIS does but at the hands of their "Judicial System". Yet the USA stays as quiet as a mouse.
America is more of an oligarchy than a democracy. The wealthiest 1% controls congress, the senate and the executive branch, with companies like goldman and sachs controlling not just the privately owned Federal Reserve, but large numbers of politicians.
China will become a democracy whenever it is ready for that transition. Right now, I and many more Chinese citizens are concerned with more tangible concerns. Food, water, medical care, income, pensions etc etc.
This fake, selective and self-serving interest in "democracy" by the USA has probably killed more people since WW2 than AIDS has.
Look at Lybia for -----'s sake! Are they enjoying democracy whilst they train their teenagers to use AK47's and watch their infants die from lack of (previously free) medical care? No accountability for NATO or Obama, yet American's are still asking other countries to be "pressed on Democracy".
