Rant of a political nature

Who likes the Olympics? I like the Olympics! I'm sure you do too!

But who likes the Beijing Olympics? I hate the comming Olympics! I'm sure you do too!

I also don't like how the Chinese government is letting hundreds of thousands of little girls and women be raped by Arab militants and in the meanwhile, stalling all U.N. actions to move in and stop the militia. Now, you may ask WHY? Well the answer is: Isn't this what a superpower does?

Yes, we have reached a new era in global politics. In fact, you may call it the Asian Cold War: China has become a world superpower, and leaves all except U.S. behind in its wake. And as with all superpowers, it follows the conventions that it must follow.

They prosper at the expense of others (and I don't mean being competitive). They stall all international efforts. And of course, they only care about prestige and money. If it weren't for the Chinese, action would have been taken in Darfur by now. But then, who would the corrupt Arabs send their coal exports to? Canada?

The worst part about it all is that there isn't even any transparency in the Zerg hive-mind that is the People's Republic. There isn't even a simple mention of this in the media (rather, the propaganda machine). In fact, you mention the Falun Gong, and you are pressured, prisonned, and in the case of international lobbying, bullied into ignorance and compliance. The Canadian Press mentions Tibet, and China is ready to send their wave of drones to wipe Canada out (ad hominem, of course, but the point is made).

At least with the United States of America, it is a "consumer" driven economy, in that the economics and social policies are driven by the whims of the consumer. If the fad of the day is the Space race, the U.S. will deliver. If it is fighting terrorism, then it is fighting terrorism. And if its becoming green, the U.S. will become green. In CHINA though, there is no dream. There is only to acumulate money, status, and achievement FOR THE SAKE of achieving money, status and achievement. Ask a little girl that is native to the country (and I have done this) why they wan't to be a musician and they say "because i have to be a musician. I don't like it. My mom and dad say I have to be a musician because I have to". I asked a boy my age the same question, and he had recently emigrated form China. His response: "I'm just doing it so that I can stay in the same level as my neighbours, and just so we all play music. As well, I am only doing it to fool universities; I will actually study to be a doctor because my neighbours were also going to do the same thing"

These comments rip me apart. But its an indication of the mentality of the nation. Its closed mindedness, similar to Soviet Russia, will be its downfall. For it is the economic philosophy of the U.S. that will keep it strong for years to come. It is its transparencies that allow dark regiems to rise, but it is also this transparency that allows the system to correct itself.

This is the beauty of America. This is the weakness of China.

At least in out other superpower, we have a better world.

I look forward to your comments
