I’ve lived in China for many years and here’s another secret – not in China but in the U.S.: nobody in China is under the illusion that communism works or even exists in China, not even the communist party members. It is mostly Americans who think Chinese people are such fools. Ironic, eh.

“Socialism with Chinese characteristics,” meet “Idiocy with American characteristics.”

Communism , Socialism – its still about controlling and owning people,,, instead of people controlling and owning.

The comment written in Chinese on the board is the best response.

Was this taken at the great wall? When I was there there was a room with white walls with all sorts of international graffiti much like the stuff in that picture.

Really enjoyed the post first off….secondly…kind of curious if hurts-but-true…actually believes what they posted. There is always a separation of power between the government and those governed….and the people rarely benefit…regardless of the political/economic system. I realize that sounds a bit cynical and perhaps a bit of a over generalization…but do take a moment to examine that and separate yourself from your dogmatic/nationalistic beliefs

Let me let you in on a little secret… America is not capitalist. It’s fascist. Americans just don’t care because at least THEIR slavemasters let them have lots of pretty crap. (That’s made in China, of course…)

People should stop acting like they know what everyone in a country believes. No one knows that. Everyone wants everyone else to be a scapegoat. In any country its up to the people to fix whats wrong, most don’t because of fear. It seems that people are going to continue to judge everyone by their country they were born in, which i might add is RETARDED!! From the beginning of history the majority has been trying to speak for the minority and has failed, why have people forgotten that fact?

Does capitalism work?? bullshit. Capitalism is fake, so is democracy, as well. Everything is going down. Feew greedy capitalists have made millions of poor, starving, ill, human beings. Keep your eyes open and dont let television make up your mind. think for yourself and be happy.

tudi and lenin i dont get why u say the chinese response is funny? its not even responding to the black sharpee message there… i think that message shows a pretty convoluted way of looking at things…unremarkable in any case

Americans must realize that their greatest monument to Capitalism is modern day Detroit City! The rape is complete there, and the rapid expansion of slums, falling real estate values, degradation of the population , third world living conditions and sadly lacking moral fiber, all the end result of the monumental influence of GM’s variety of vulture capitalism! The unions were partly responsible, for some of the good returned to the common folk, but GM built a monumentally successful GM(China) on the backs of the American citizens of Detroit and then sold them out!To China!
