China is not a democracy.

I'll be dearing now: USA is not a democraty.

Dearing?

I assume you mean daring?

In any case, any American familiar with our form of government would be apt
to agree. We're a Republic. We've never espoused to be a "true" democracy
(except perhaps at the town level.)


It doesn't have a free press or free elections.
Press not supportive of the govermental actions of USA doesn't get a
pass to the stock exchange. If that is not sanction, what is?

Huh? What are you talking about?

The government doesn't control the "stock exchange" (besides, which one are
you referring to, we have a number of them you know.)

And you can find a newspaper that will cover any subject you want from any
point of view you want.

Democraty means "people rule". They dont. The number of people woting
in USA is to low to be considered a democraty. The system is flawed as
it is clearly failing.


Proof?

Or perhaps the system is wildly successful and people feel little need to
express their views. Those who disagree are capable of expressing their
views. In fact, one of our states just recalled their governor. So
obviously people can express their views.

The Chinese people don't have the right of free assembly or the free
exercise of religion.

You are allowed to be muslim in USA, but you risk losing your job, or
beeing jailed without forml reason. Or if you are from another part of
the world like Afganistan, you are not given the most fundamental
rights as considered by the rest of the world.

The recent actions by the US government bear close scruitny. And guess
what, they are getting them. The courts aren't exactly happy with
everything the White House is doing and has made it clear. Many people
aren't happy and they've made it clear. Despite what some may call abuses
of our government (and I tend to think we've gone to far in some areas) you
don't find people "disappearing". Protests are held, even televised.



Bewa The democraty has lasted only about 200 years, there are
empires that has lasted a thousand. Don't waste the chance this quick.

Well, sorry we didn't get around to our grand experiment sooner. But I'll
hazard a guess we'll be around for awhile longer. In fact if you look at
most despotic states formed in the last 100 years, very few are left. Tends
to argue that they are on the way out.
