China Says It's Creating Its Own Democracy

China claims to be creating it's own form of democracy, one not like the U.S. One has to wonder what this will be... I think I know where the Chinese are going with this one. Here's what I mean.

Webster's on-line definition of a democracy:
A system of government in which there is free and equal participation by the people in the political decision-making process.

And Webster's definition of communism:
A totalitarian system of government in which a single authoritarian party controls state-owned means of production with the professed aim of establishing a classless society.

Now, it's pretty clear the distinction here. China definitely fits into the communism definition, which makes sense because that's what they are. But, rather than create a new form of democracy, what the Chinese are doing is their normal propaganda... they are changing the definition of democracy not their way of governance. Below is how the Chinese will define democracy:

China's Definition of their new democracy:
A totalitarian system of government in which a single authoritarian party controls state-owned means of production with the professed aim of establishing a classless society.

Sound familiar? Let me ask this question. Do you think China will ever allow free speech, freedom of expression, freedom to assemble etc. etc.? That will be the true test as to a "new China". As long as they continue to cut out the organs of Falun Gong, Kill those practicing a different religion, and run tanks over protester's... they will continue to be simple COMMUNISTS!!!
