:o) I usually find that you are as US rah rah as TJ is rah rah China.. The google post ...is an example IMO.. maybe not your intent.. but that is what I get from it.. seems you are using the same tactic you decry ? You know TJ shoots at you because you more often than not rise to the bait right ? and I bet TJ is also prepared for a China collapse.. personally I hope no one collapses except for a small list of selected regimes ... US nor China are on that list :0)

CB, there is a difference between USA and China. The police in China, for the most part, don't have their heart in it. They have to pretend to be policemen to keep their pay going and to look the part. But of course they have their evil-doers who I watched in Tienanmen Square and they were hard to the core people [in plain clothes too]. In the USA, the police ARE the system. The USA police are not pretending. Lurking not far below the taciturn police visage in China is the person. In the USA, it's the reverse. The police are friendly on the surface but hard to the core. The TSA are not even friendly on the surface. As TJ says, the bosses in Beijing are perhaps aware of that and are fearful of the population, hence keep a repressive crushing force on the slightest misdemeanour. The USA operates in reverse - the bosses don't fear the people because they are the people, changed by election at a whim. Mqurice

upon reflecting ... I imagine you support the Chinese protesters ? Whom you must understand as much you support or understand the OWS ? There is much that is indefensible at home.. time to get busy.. Snowshoe had it right. The fact that many Chinese people were outraged shows that defending the indefensible is not universal in China, which is a good thing. It is not universal in America.. but it certainly is entrenched... and of course ... not the same ;o)
