So, you dislike the west, yet you mimick our past folys by invading harmless countrys?

Tibet deserves its freedom, and all its territory returned.

Stop looking at this bit

Very simple... Because they are FREE to. It is their CHOICE. We can choose our government, we do not have a one party dictatorship. The Chinese have replaced one ruling class with another, they are still slaves to their new masters. They live to work, we in the west work to live.China's glory is in the past. It is now one large factory employing slave labour and STEALING western technology where ever it can.
What is worrying for us all is the vast amount of money being spent on weapons, nearly 9% of GDP. You do not spend billions on armies if you do not intend to use it. WWIII here we come....

He was referring to a personal battle between myself and “look at that” I believe, which was aptly deleted.

Good point. This is why the USSR lost to Western ideals. Reagan knew that in a capitalistic society you could wage war and feed your people at the same time. The Soviets failed to grasp this concept as they attempted to match our arsenal and military might. We once had strict economic policy regarding trade with regimes we deemed hostile to American interests, but in truth because we do have a FREE society our political parties dictate the outcome of this policy depending who is in power at the time, but that would be a different thread altogether to start pointing fingers. The point I guess I’m trying to make is that China today would have collapsed along with the USSR if not for American economic interests keeper her afloat. It would be interesting to see where China and the world would look like in that alternate time, hmm?

Good, then you understand that the few problems in western society are far overshadowed by all it's accomplishments and opportunity.

So do the governments in “western” cultures to include their police and military – but we don’t systematically sanction their every move or do away with them if they speak out against the government or run college kids over with tanks…yes I know that information is sanctioned in China so I provided it if you care to view – and NO it is not a “western” lie it actually happened.

Spoiler:

Student Demonstrations in Tiananmen Square
June 3-4, 1989


A massive demonstration for democratic reform, begun on Tiananmen Square by Chinese students in April, 1989, was brutally repressed on June 3 and 4, 1989. It was initiated to demand the posthumous rehabilitation of former Communist Party Chairman Hu Yaobang.

The government was tolerant until after his funeral; then Deng Xiaoping denounced the protests. The demonstrators were joined by workers, intellectuals, and civil servants, until over a million people filled the square. General Secretary Zhao Ziyang expressed sympathy, but lost out to Deng, who supported the use of military suppression.

Martial law was declared on May 20. The protesters demanded that the leadership resign, but the government answered on the nights of June 3 and 4 with troops and tanks, killing thousands to quell a "counter-revolutionary rebellion." Zhao was dismissed and a number of the student leaders were arrested.

Tiananmen Square is a large public square in Beijing, China, on the southern edge of the Inner or Tatar City. The square, named for its Gate of Heavenly Peace (Tiananmen), contains the monument of the heroes of the revolution, the Great Hall of the People, the museum of history and revolution, and the Mao Zedong Memorial Hall. Mao Zedong proclaimed the founding of the People's Republic in the square on October 1, 1949, an anniversary still observed there.
