   This site is developing a false notion as a site with a creator having a racist, anti-Chinese propaganda viewpoint. And it's viewer and readers largely Sinophobic as well.

   So I thought I would try and attempt to make a thread about saying GOOD things about China. Historically or whatnot. Let's prove them wrong that we are not as Sinophobic as they say. If you share these sentiments.

   To me, I think China has developed an AMAZING writing system. One that Japan still uses although while creating an extra shorthand to go with it. It is very beautiful, and reminds me of the mysterious quality we have in Western Runic.

   I think Taoism is an amazing, Pantheistic, Polytheist religion.
   Being the weeaboo that I am, I do like Shinto a bit more. But Taoism is certainly more interesting to me than Christianity, Judaism, or Islam.

   China is the creator of, and responsible for most of the architecture in Asia. Which is very beautiful and only rivaled to me that of Gothic and Norse architecture.

   Indeed most of all Asian culture, including many of the finer points, originated in some part of the area that would be considered Chinese territory.

   China has several, many beautiful Temperate Rainforests.
   One of my favorite types of flora and fauna to be in. I would love to live in or around a temperate Rainforest area.

   Now, for a little bit of the inevitable bad.

   I am not fond of tonal language. And though I hear people tell me "it would be more practical to learn Chinese", I couldn't learn a language for practicality, I would have to like it. And Chinese being a tonal language, the general sound of it I cannot get into. Unlike Asian languages like Japanese and Korean which are not tonal languages.

   Also, I must say, I hear many bad things about the Chinese GOVERNMENT.
   Which is nowhere near to Libertarian enough according to what I've heard. Such as extreme censorship. Which I am an extreme anti-censorship person. As a Libertarian.

   Edit: I apologize, for accidentally letting this get in the wrong section.

   I like Chinese food.
   I used to live with an student with a 4 year visa and she used to be able to cook anything and everything with the mimimum amount of ingredients.

   She also tried to teach me Chinese, but I think it's a somewhat ugly language, due to the range of different tones, sometimes the language doesn't feel like it flows as well as Japanese, or even English does.
   Not that I know a whole lot of it.

   I'm quite fond of Chinese architecture and Zen gardens. Perhaps some day I may even find myself growing a goatee, moving out to a mountain in Tibet, and experimenting with poppies and crossbreeding them with other flowers.(Yes, I know that would make me the first Nolan Batman villain. I don't care.)

   To say that they have civil liberties is a laughable concept.

   Communist China:

   - Shitty place to live

   +Makes the former Soviet Union look like an utopia, yay soviets!

   I'm not trying to be mean or racist, just making a point, China is a communist state as much as the media doesn't want to admit it. While you all admire the romantized Imperial China of old, those days are gone, what you see now is what you get. Terribly run government services and institutions, government manipulated curreny, rationing of healthcare via one-child policy are some some of the problems China has; don't get me started on censorship. There are very few good things to say about China currently beyond its ancient history and food, which I do enjoy ingesting. :)

    Some of the good things are starting to sound mediocre compared to the bad.

    China is the founding home of Confucianism, an excellent form of teaching involving right action, which has followers across the globe.

    On the negative side, China made Olympic participants and media covering the event sign anti-criticism contracts, or "gag-orders", during their stay in Beijing.

    I really love the more classic aspects of the Chinese culture. My favorite paint style at the moment are ink ones.

    The craphole it's become due to Communism makes me very sad :(

    Oh man, that image reminds me that I am remarkably remiss in recognizing the awesomeness that is the Qipao/China dress.

    Also ought to mention that their pollution levels are atrocious, and they're too unconcerned about environmental sustainability.

    I love reading Confuscious. Master Kong was to the east what Solomon was to the west.

    Also their lolis crap in the streets. Although that may be good.

    They buy 70% of Sudan's oil while the rest of the world boycotts them for genocide, crucifixions, and general crimes against humanity in both Darfur now and Ruwanda in the 90s, even as the president has been called before a war crimes tribunal. Yet China CONSTANTLY blocks action in the UN so they can keep cheap oil.

    In order from good to bad:

    * China mimics a communist country;

    * China is not really a communist country economically or socially.

    This is not a bad thing...America is not comunist, either.

    China mimics a communist country;

    This is good?
    Comunism = broken.

    Your knowledge of communism is a bit lacking, and since the manifesto wasn't necessarily completed there are so many variations.

    I speculate that because there are variations of communism, and the one China is using is more of the left-wing radical; not the real thing.

    Also, Most Americans love some communistic qualities such as: Free education, free health-care, and such; but you're right, it's capitalist. Communism is lovely, it's my party.

    Extreem?
    Comunism IS as FAR as you can go, China is on the other side of the political spectrum, being almost a dictatorship.

    If you can name one comunist state that works, I'll give you an internet.
    If the whole world was comunist and all people truly equal, then comunism just might work.

    Want to know why I say comunism does not work?
    When you put one group of people in charge of another bunch of people, making them work for a minimum wage while you get total economic power.
    Guess what most people would do.
    On top of this, a system where two groups of people with totally different abilitys get exactly the same in society can never work.
    Why should I, a nuclear physist want to be on the same level as the person who wades though my shit every day?
    (Actually the sewage workers should be paid more, as it's a high risk job, less desiarable and clean water is the most important thing to exist.)
    Compare this to a system where every worker gets rewarded for working to their ability, with no one single entity in charge of the economy, and a system of welfare state to fall back on in hard times.
    People do not need to rely on the state, but can, rather than in capitalism, where people have to rely on the state.

    I understand what you're saying;

    Now, let's begin with a few statements:

    In true communism (Not Soviet Communism, Maoism, and other poorly communistic countries,) the "control of people" is not existent. It's democratic in it's sense: The people are the government, and they elect their leader, who is also payed the same wage by the one who hands him his pay.

    Also, I understand that humans are very hierarchical, but you're mistaking "money" with "wealth." You see, money is just a tender note that people will douse their faith onto. If people do not put faith into the American dollar, the dollar declines. Businesses are losing "faith" in investors, so they are going bankrupt. Wealth, in it's true definition (and not its false synonymy with money,) is food, water, education, and some private property.

    What communism meant by the distribution of wealth is that the construction worker will receive the same amount of property, health-care, and insurance as the nuclear physicist. However, communism is broken by the fact of the distribution of "faith." What I had truly hoped while reading the communist manifesto was Marx's explanation of the way "faith" would be distributed, almost like a capitalistic society.

    China, you are right, is basically a totalitarian country, but that is what "left-wing communism" is. You're also right, I deserve no internets, because no country has ever preserved communism as of now. We haven't advanced morally to reach communism yet: "To reach communism it is necessary, simultaneous with the new material foundation, to create the new man and the new woman."

    That's a quote from the book, hopefully it's how it was in the book.

    Marx was an idiot.

    A country can not buy water, food and construction materials with 'faith', whereas America can buy what ever the hell it wants.
    I think you will find the true definition of wealth to be what ever the government declares to be of value.
    Money only has a percieved value, but it is this perception that makes food materialise and capitalism the dominant economic model on the earth.

    One more thing, the world doesn't work on what ifs.
    Saying comunism would be the best system if people where to evolve, and the fact that every country to implement it has failed horribly is hardly going to be an insentive to use it.

    Also, this argument is over, because it's pointless and not relevent to my intrests or the topic.
