Democracy in theory is where the citizens of a land, control the land. however what you get is a vote. and no matter what your popular vote is the elected officials don't have to follow that vote. so a democracy only works in theory.

In a democracy all are democrats including its tyrants who disguise themselves in the complex garb of democrats under the banner of an interest group.

I'm still not sure about Wai Guo Ren myself, still has connotations.

I think XI Fang Ren (western is better).

Again with laowai you fool. wai guo ren please.

Democracy, one person gets one vote. You know that thing they have in Taiwan, that you do not in Mainland China.

Still better than communism which goes after the intellectuals, business people, and teachers every time.

Let's not forget Mao carried out the rape of a generation, forcing farmers into steel workers.

I still think it is the lesser of two evils.

In communist countries, no political parties nor elections.

In the last UK election the people voted Scotland for scots, england for the conservatives, except for Brighton and parts of the north.

Never any general or presidential elections in China, ever. Taiwan, not Singapore, is who China should emulate.

Wang,

Instead of just complaining, why not just value your foreign teachers as professionals? (Assuming you bothered to verify their credentials.) And why not ask them how they feel at work and actively support them in their roles like managers in practically all other countries except China do? And why not take an active interest in western thought to the extent that you can better appreciate what your foreign teachers want?

I gave up on Chinese-run training centres a long time ago due to people like you.

EXTC

pls explain to chinese.
