Hi Brian, I see your opinion more clearly now. Your original statement was somewhat misleading. The word country is not a clear concept. I am moved by your fervour. I would like to say that I think that Yiwu is not a liar. She is simply a devout Communist believer, ready at all times to believe the most atrocious lies, provided they are told by the Communist Party. Please grant the possibility that, like you, she hopes for the best for the Chinese people. She is ready to sacrifice part of the People's Liberation Army soldiers and many Taiwanese Chinese people if the party tells her that that really saves lives in the end. My own feeling is that political progress, is being made on the mainland but it is much much slower than the economic progress. I won't live to see a democratic China. It's maybe 50-70 years away. By democratic country I mean one where you can relax and say anything you want. We have to approach deeply religious people with sympathy. Let's not call them liars if they think that what they are saying is true. The religion fills some void in their lives. Malcolm
