thank you from greece......i think a real english speaker (a brit or amerian) can leture me better about democracy then you do......they have real ones......It is a fallacy to compare democracies and to state that UK's democracy is the 'real one'.
Actually democracy was first implemented in back from classical Athens in the 6th century B.C. Greece, as is today, is hardly an example of being first class in all respects.
In essence, democracy is a political system in which all the members of the society have an equal share of formal political power.
Therefore, wherever ALL MEMBERS OF SOCIETY HAVE AN EQUAL SHARE OF POLITICAL POWER, it can be called a democracy. This equal share is constituted by the right to select and that mechanism is called VOTE!
At the same time, the style of democratic functioning depends on the nation, its singular cultural, historical, social matrices et al and hence it cannot be the same. The democracy of US cannot be the same as that of the UK or India or Greece or anywhere in the world where people are allowed to vote in their Govt.
Hence, it is infantile to equate any democracy with another.
It is another ignorant suggestion that language is the sole similarity in the democracies of the UK and India. Maybe a quick check on what is the Westminster type of democracy would clear the cobwebs of lack of knowledge that inhibits those who live in totalitarian regimes that find the frogmarched and goose stepping enforcement a source of delight and the elixir of life – sort of Zam Zam.
thats the difference between india and prc.....what ever behavir you said (execpt for choosing what they eat so long as no endangered animal involved) is the difference.....these things should be forced to quit but some chinese dont obey the law or some administrative regulations.....for example in prc who ever forcs others to drink cow piss is subject to law.....if he doesnt get caught you can only say he is lucky but nothing else.....while in india you are free to pee and shit everywhere and more than 50% of people shit in open belong to india.....is that supposed to be a freedom everyone should admire????What are Chinese forced to do? Notwithstanding your claim that they are not allowed to pee on the street, may I remind you that their children to it with delightful abandon, not only on the street but also in airport floors! And they hack and spit at will. And the Chinese drink their own piss, let alone cow piss, in case you did not know. Please Google and educate yourself. And eat anything and every thing the crawls, walks, slithers around the earth and its waters! I find that you are a masochist wherein you want to be educated of the Chinese exotic, weird and even abhorrent ways of life and cuisine and social activities.
1 well communists have their problems as everyone points out......but just like colonizers had their problems in india.....how ever all the achievements india can have now are largely based on the legacy of colonization.......but do you actually bitch about colonization that much??? you enjoy your english language pretty much dont you?What is important to know is that in China, the people are forced to obey every diktat of the Communist Party and that is not an elected body!!!!!!!!!
If they do not obey, they go to the Laogai (euphemistically called 'education through reform'). What education? Education to obey the Communist philosophy of the moment, that's what! Obeying a junta that does not represent the people, it having never allowed the people to select them and thereby being the face of the people through a ballot!
Please do not live in a fond delusion. We are well aware of the situation in China. The big cities are not real China. See the poor in rural areas, see the beggars on the street, see how a single toilet services the village, see the way you cover up reality like the SARS epidemic. Therefore, your trotting out the wonders of China vis a vis others does not really tell of the reality!
But please Dream Away... dream away your reality!
2 chinese got poor people and even the uk got beggars......the problem is how many there compared to india who has more poor than poorest african nations??? some of those nations are also democracy.....but does that mean a crap???just some laughing stocks......
