I am a little bit confused, why exactly are some people under the impression that democracy cant work or rather should not be implemented in China? I can understand superficially why the people in power would not want democracy as that may lead to them losing power but I can't see a legitimate reason for democracy not to be the end goal for China.

And if that was the case, what is the alternative for China? Perhaps I am biased since I have always taken for granted the freedoms permitted by a democracy but what are the alternatives that benefit the people and actually give them freedom.

When did this become the Japanese thread about comfort women? I thought this thread was about China? Maybe you guys could start a thread about Japan and post in there instead of this massive derail?

Was wondering if there are any suggested books about the early push for communism in China, specifically where did it gain traction (universities, foreign influence etc), what people thought about it before the ccp took control, were there other competing influences (outside of the nationalist I guess) and was it around during the revolution against the Qing Dynasty or did it all develop after then.
