<<Cripes, have you noticed anything that's gone on in China since WW2? The Chicoms did their absolute best purging all those beliefs from their society..... The remains the civilization you're speaking of resides on Taiwan not mainland China. You mention they're moving towards democracy....... You think they're doing that because they want to? The Chicoms are being forced into it...... As people get wealthier they demand more freedom.... Normally this would set off a wave of purges but the Chicoms appreciate that their economy is smoking like no other time in their history and a purge would only get in the way.>> With all due respect, that is nothing but right wing blather. Taiwan, good lord-lol. Mao is gone and dead, so is athiestic Russia. Those Chinese kids are into Kanye West, Taylor Swift and Led Zeplin-lol, when they are not, playing video games, texting, reading poetry, or studying math. Today the kids in China study, and you can bet they read Tao, Confucius and Buddhism. Those were smart dudes. Those guys are the Asia Aristotle, Plato and Socrates. Buddhism is the Asian Existentialism. Sort of.
