China, the United States and Democracy
This piece of writing makes for good reading. It’s mainly a critical analysis of China’s structure, and a well argued one. The stimulus for the article is an e-mail written by an 18 year old American girl who seems to believe that the differences between American government and Chinese government are not as large as may seem, coming close to calling the US government hypocritical (and at times it is, but not in the way she connotes). Her argument, however… well, you can’t really call it an argument – it doesn’t make any points… is addressed thoroughly.
