all problems in china, when fully exposed, is a good problem because given the imperatives, the political leadership actually do react and resolve, by aligning in imperative w/ their own agenda given that at the end of each day, merit matters in order to stay in office How can problems in China get "fully exposed" with CCP censorship? If someone ignores orders from the CCP or speaks out too strongly against CCP policies, they'll end up in a labor camp to "earn their keep"? I guess this assumes that they weren't earning their keep before imprisonment. And so let's say that a CPP party member has the choice of solving a problem or censoring the problem, or shipping people to the gulags. Their preferred method will either keep them in office or keep them in graft. What is the value to the nation, here? This would be my definition of politician who is devoid of merit. the priorities are stacked as people firstly must eat, then Do you contend that the pollution in Beijing is necessary because people need to eat, and lower levels pollution means no food? Something is really wrong with this equation. folks in the aged economies forget how their own economies got started from utter lack of historic perspective. I detect an emerging pattern of moral relativism and appeals to "aged" national politics. talks such as the vietnamese do not care about their children dying and that is why the mother packed a grenade into a theatre full of g.i. soldiers is utter spin, and only folks indoctrinated by corporate media would fall prey to the bad assumptions of similar nature anywhere in the world I have no idea what this means or if it's at all relevant to my post. Sorry. people, as people, care about the same things, but with different priorities and moderated by group vs self and now vs future concepts Yes, and this is probably one of the sources of evil in the world - with no real ethical foundation to actions, there are just "priorities." |
