вопрос на Quora.com, лучший ответ от китайца Kevin Wong: Imagining you have 2 options:
A. Enjoying the fast economic growth in your country every year, one of the best city infrastructure in the world, stable and safe society for personal career development, better education in China as well as opportunity sending kids to foreign university for better education, ability to traveling around every year.
BUT, you do not have the right to directly elect your president.
B. Enjoying over 10 years chaos in your country during your golden age. Ruining the best city infrastructure, opportunity to be killed by bullet every minute, forcing to join the army to support the side you may not support, no education for your children or even worst, you children need to join the army.
After 10 years chaos, you have the chance to elect your president, and you may find out that no candidate can do better job that the CCP.
So, why we bother to do that? Our gov is definitely not the best gov in the world, but as a DEVELOPING Country, can you name another developing country's gov do better job than our gov?
Xiao Qi - 12 votes - Two questions to whoever originally posed the question:
1. Is a democratic China inherently better than an undemocratic China? Or in general, is a democratic society inherently better than an undemocratic one?
2. Even if a billion Chinese could rise up against the party-state and topple it, would it surely lead China to democracy?
Cynthia Bradley - 9 votes - Contrary to Western thought, not everyone wants a democratic country. And, even the USA is not a true democracy, but a republic.
Tomás Ramírez Gómez - 5 votes - I guess it is because a billion of Chinese people are not stupid.
Robbert Hofman - Option B sounds totally like Brazil
William White - 6 votes - I'm a neutral on this, but your option B is a straightforward straw man argument. It's not very persuasive unless you explain why option B is the only alternative.
Anonymous - 7 votes - South Korea.
Я всегда считал интернет неостановимой демократической силой, которая всегда позволит правде проскользнуть через трещины в даже самой крепкой стене пропаганды. Я был неправ. После просмотра ***** телевидения, вы не хотите читать западную прессу, потому что вы убеждены, что она лжет. И что более важно, ***** ТВ настолько мощно, что вы даже не хотите смотреть что-нибудь еще, потому что убеждены, что имеете в распоряжении неоспоримые факты. (c) Журналист издания Business Insider, нынче проживающий в США уроженец это страны, решил на протяжении недели читать и смотреть национальные СМИ, отказавшись от альтернативных источников информации. Не Китай и не Северная Корея.
