What is the difference between the Communist party in China and the Republican party in America? Other than the obvious.

Re: Republicans to Become Communists

The project goes well, I see. I must tip my hat to our great chairman, Ted Striker.

Super Troll!

[Sava]

this thread is great!

You have to admit it took great effort to make the troll

And the point remains valid: there are plenty of things which are worthy of praise when done by the "good" regime, and which are terrible when done ba the "evil" regime.

"good" and "evil" being different depending to your allegiances, obviously.

I'm disappointed in UR for not doing so.

There are two kinds of Taiwanese- those who want unification and those who don't.

Those who moved to Shanghai are often of the first type, thus as business ties grow stronger, political polarization also increases.

While there are ethnic ties, in the last ten years, the government has been actively promoting a seperate Taiwanese ethnicity including the introduction of the Taiwanese language to the school curriculum and state-run television.

It's part of China.

I'm curious. How can something be said to be apart of a country when said country hasn't had sovereignty over the "rebel province" for decades?

Yeah, I just saw something about a "Blue-Green" rift in Taiwan.

One question - is the government clamping down on criticism? I heard a couple of TV stations just got very short term licenses even when they have been in business for decades?

There are differences.

The chinese communist party AFAIK has a strong "One Family one Child" - Policy and therefore encourages birth control.
The republicans only encourage birth control, if it is done by sexual abstinence

And china sells the organs of people which were executed. The republicans aren´t known to do such thing.

Stalinism

I've been calling Bush a Stalinist for a while.

In any case, Taiwan is part of China. The Chinese are correct to note that it is a rebel province. How would the Americans feel if Hawaii declared independence and the Chinese started meddling in its affairs.

It doesn't matter what the mainlanders would feel. Hawaiians has a right to self-determination. If a majority or super-majority supports independence, Hawaii should become an independent nation.

The days of clamping down ended with democratization in the 80s, now it's about making criticism a pain by putting up bureaucratic hurdles.

Because the Chinese Communist Party can lead us to socialism, whereas the Republican Party cannot. Right now the CCP is simply returning power to the workers which is a process that must be contrlled[sic] very carefully. If they must silence capitalists in the process, then so be it.

Dude...

The Chinese Communist Party isn't silencing capitalists. It's silencing the workers and busting the unions. The working conditions in Chinese factories are awful and human life is cheap.
