By the Republicans? Because wasn't the big plan with China started by Regan? That by introducing capitalism the Chinese will convert to democracy? Unfortunately what's happened is that the uprising came and went and now there are 2 booming economic systems: Democratic Capitalism and Authoritarian Capitalism. If you talk to an average Chinese person they could care less about the points you bring up. There's no clamor for changes and the Chinese gov't itself is saying that they're just using capitalism to build their infrastructure and then they'll shift back to full communism. Will that come to pass? I don't know. Will the Chinese stay happy with authoritarian rule? Who knows. What is known is that Regan's show-them-capitalism-and-they-will-change policy has failed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:266888 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
