Oppressive countries are usually ruled by old people or religious fanatics. Old rulers are usually old-fashioned. They rule by might, oppression, and censorship. They generally suffer from some degree of dementia. It is inevitable that China will eventually evolve to a freer society, but it is really a shame that so many have to suffer while the old rulers try to hang on to their ancient ways. At least, they aren't typical religious fanatics with no grasp of reality. We should never accept china as a civilized country until they allow their own people to be free. |
