Got very happy with China's fist manned Space flight, like our nuclear program in the 60's. The main effect to ordinary people is not its potential to war, who like it? It is the feeling of the nation's big step forward in the world wide prestige. Chairman Mao knows "being left behind is being vulnerable" though he made some mistakes in the 60's and 70's. Some folks born with a silver spoon here may not understand such kind of feeling because they just take their country's current status for granted, no matter how hard their people had fought for it, and how much other innocent people had suffered from it. It is such a pain to read history about how our people suffered in the beginning of the 20's century, for a few decades, from the lost of Hong Kong to Japanese's invasion, to the civil war. No one could imagine this country could have today's fast development. No matter communism or capitalism, ordinary people just want to have a happy life that satisfies their puny needs. Every society has its own problem, we are, like Deng Xiaoping said, "crossing the river without known path".
There are some progress we made particularly in the past two decades, but some reforms is arguable making things better, personally, I think the current health care, pension system not necessarily better than the old socialist ones. Socialist and capitalist system in my view is like mechanistic and organic system, while socialist offers stability, capitalist adds vigor and responsiveness. Why people have to be extremists about this matter? Maybe china's traditional Taoism or Confucianism Zhong Yong - The Doctrine of the Mean will help? We had other problems in the financial, education system as well, but I emotionally hate Gordon Chang's hyped book title, "the coming collapse of China".
What is the good for you if China collapses? It sure offer some "Pleasant Surprise" to some of the folks out there, but if it's really a serious study about the problem China faces, exaggerations of China's problem or threat add no value to their arguments.
