dangeresque Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 yes, they got to choose between about two or three candidates chosen from the one and only party allowed in China, the CCP. It's a one party state, remeber. So all of them might have voted, all 1.6 billion, but they could choose between the CCP, or the CCP. This is true and they should be able to vote for any party they want....but it is a step forward, not a step back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azntemplar_00 Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Isn't there more than 1 billion people in China? Too much suppression and censorship there :| I'm pretty sure every single one of them is living in Beijing. 8 million voters in Beijing is over half of its population including the kids who can't vote. I say that's a pretty good voting ratio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faux Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I'm just saying.. Beijing voting doesn't mean crap when there's over a billion Chinese people. That's not even 1 percent of the population. :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weezcake Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 But remember, they are still transitioning. The United States didn't have a very good record in voting rights when they started either. :P (We still don't, haha) ==================================Retired tip.it moderator.Teaching and inspiring.

They still have a lots of resource to be dug up now. Describes the United States in the late 1800s early 1900s.

azntemplar_00 Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Being over a century behind isn't exactly a good thing... Well not every country was established when the U.S was. China just finished fighting its 'revolutionary war' in 1949. Do you expect every country in the world to be a cookie-cutter mold of the U.S?

Viktorkrum77 Posted January 16, 2007 Author Share Posted January 16, 2007 Xinjiang? I didn't think that it was that populated over there :x I'm not sure, I was under the impression it was very poor and heavily populated. Population: 19,630,000 Density: 11.8/kmÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâò Not even sure if that's the right area. :-k *Edit* It's Sichuan with a population of 87 million+.

azntemplar_00 Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Generally, the further west you go, the less people there will be. Greatest concentration of people live on the east and central parts of China. Edit: Quite sure a region can recover in 2000 years :-P and Sichuan is considered central China FYI.

Jaakilju Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 China is not a communist country. There are no communist countries in the world today. Only "communist" countries exist in the world. Note the quotation marks. Yes. And neither was USSR a communist country. At best some sort of a fugly mutation of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_capitalism, a bit of badly managed socialism and dictatorship. Although the short era of Lenin wasn't that bad. Lenin actually said he never wanted Stalin to become a president. But let's not start talking about USSR here. [/semiofftopic] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
