Governments: US and China

  • At first I thought the two party system is great. Now, I change my mind after seeing you folks arguing each other fighting for your parties.

    Sometimes just 'do it' is better than spending all the time arguing and ensuring political correctness.

    China is heading to be more democratic. If you do not believe me, just compare China today and China 30 years ago. Democracy needs educated citizens. China is there for the big cities, but not for rural areas. When we have too much democracy too fast, there will be chaos.

    Does our generous welfare cause a lot of social ills? If you do not work, you die. Simple! If you do not work due to certain problems, the society should provide a safety net. China is working on that slowly. Hong Kong did that already.

    China is not communist as Dorothy said. Communism ensures everyone gets the same share no matter how hard you work. It encourages folks to be lazy. It is extreme capitalist governed by a party of a handful of 'dictators'.

    Yes, you cannot run tablet and laptop in one OS as I suggested many times ago.

    Even a child can tell you it does not work after spending several hours on both machines under the same OS. Where are all the QC folks?

    VVG, Agree with you. Microsoft's major problem besides many others is trying to have one OS for both laptop/desktop and tablet. That does not work and they released the OS without any TESTING. A child can tell you it is not working. The management must want to trick the world, get their bonus and be fired by releasing the software without TESTING.

    I need Office and subscription that uses the browser. Chrome is quite good and if you do not need Office, you should have it. Tablet OS concentrate on handling frequent interrupts. Phone software is another one. When you put all 3 into one, it will not work. Microsoft management, wake up from your afternoon laps dreaming how to use the bonus money and hire back all those QC folks you must let go long ago.

    Hong Kong's protest is also called 'umbrella protest" to shield the tearing gas or "mobile phone protest" to serve as candle light ritual. Ironically both are most likely made in China by workers working hard with their heads bowing down and accepting their destiny (or reality).

    This post was an answer to another post on who benefit from Hong Kong last night. Recycle here.

    Initially during the late 40s, Chinese from Shanghai made good money by forming textile factories in Hong Kong. They bought their expertise in management, money and skills. They exploited the cheap labor of the desperate refugees escaping from the communists. Many of these products were exported to the US (to provide cheap stuffs for the poor).

    After the takeover, Hong Kongese moved the factories to Southern China under Deng's special economical zone policy. From then on, most big money are made in real estate in Hong Kong, a supply and demand reality.

    The Brits made good money by governing HK. The London street sweepers could get high official jobs in HK, plus many 'loots' were returned to Britain. All the big projects including the new airport hired British firms to make big money. There is a general misunderstanding why the slave's GDP per capita passed the master as written by the Stanford professor. It is not the colonial government but the proximity to China.

    Americans never made big money in HK except the Hollywood movies initially; it provided vacation destination for the army during the Vietnam War (remember Suzy Wong). However, it is the HK connection (and Taiwan too) to make China the global factory for American companies and now the middle class is making Americans rich and saved some American companies such as GM.

    China benefits a lot. However, the status of HK will decrease when SH takes over.
