"China amended its constitution Sunday to include formal guarantees of human rights and private property, laying down a new marker in the nation's swift march away from the doctrinaire Communism of its founders."
Hey, the Chinese now have a formal guarantee of their property rights and freedom of speech. Cool.
My Dad's company is opening an office in China, and he flies out there about once every couple months. He says it's amazing to watch the country change. Everyone has this fire in their eyes. He loves going out there because of it.
It's a start, a good start. Now what we need is North Korea to collapse.
China's evolution should lead to North Korea's collapse.
Yeah, I heard this was gonna happen a few days ago and since it's not April 1st yet... Cool! But yeah, it just brings the constitution into line with the country's commercial reality anyhow. I dunno how the rest of it will turn out on human rights...

Remember, kids:
Communists exploitating the people: Tiananmen Square
Capitalists exploiting the people: Human Rights
From what I've read and seen on the news, the internet has played a huge role in spreading capitalism and the government doctrines that support it, in China.
Greed is good
Who is that directed at?Quote:

It is all about marketing. It is ok to treat people like shit as long as you can convince them that it is ok with out using physical force.Quote:
