The extraordinary ministers were ordinary person like most Indian members here before being made ministers. they were made ministers because they could formulate national policies base on the opinions of the ordinary people. those are the essence of democracy, arent they?
if people are free to express ideas, but government doesnt listen, then what is the point?

"Now we have a picture that's slowly pixelating, from Indonesia, to Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines and Japan, up the neighborhood," Schell said in a telephone interview. "We begin to get a picture of stress and strain. This is not exactly the peaceful rise of China that we were advertised."
China flexes its muscles in dispute with Vietnam - The Times of India
The PRC leadership will not listen to mere locals in PRC. They will listen to people from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Overseas Chinese and also PRC citizens overseas and major Powers including USA, Russia, NATO.
The Policy of PRC is formulated by what others think. The image from outside is more important to what is inside. The case-in-point this whole affair motive was to maintain stability and patriotism inside the country at the cost of the image outside. the PRC locals are being pressurized into adopting radically different beliefs but the others are not.
one can ask the Hong Kong, Taiwan, Overseas Chinese and also PRC citizens overseas and compare the views with the local PRC citizens. why is there such a different viewpoint. are local PRC citizens being represented appropriately by PRC leaders like the statement if "government doesnt listen, then what is the point". why is there a different view from local PRC citizen compared to all others. is it the PRC people are victims, harassed and discriminated because they are PRC people and represent the Chinese. Is this against Chinese. Is this against PRC leadership decision making.
What do you call a political system where the PRC leadership listens more to others more compared to the locals. Even powerful businessmen can get what they what compared to the PRC locals.
In India there would be dissent if India made any wrong moves. In parliament there would be a debate. It would be all over the local media and discussed. there would be a separation of powers to ensure stability. The question is everyone in agreement in PRC that what they are doing with its neighbors is right.
The maturity of the PRC leadership will be shown when they calm things down with the Vietnamese later. That is expected. It will be done. The image and stability of PRC would be strained and they have too much to loose. You don't want the PRC leaders being ridiculed overseas all the time and by
Chinese outside PRC. But the Indonesia, to Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines and Japan and now Vietnam will not forget what happen. Will they forgive.
Whats the point with all the development if one cannot have respect and maturity. One only worries what people from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Overseas Chinese and also PRC citizens overseas think about such items.
A 1 billion dollar oil rig was basically floated into the area by PRC with the objective of keeping it there with force. What happens if the Vietnamese by mistake if not some other sinister state sinks the oil rig since it is not a permanent structure. Are PRC leaders capable of showing restraint and maturity like they advocate on others.
We saw in the incursion in India how immature PRC forces can act and the need for PRC leadership to maintain discipline and control by way of rules and guidelines.
