i see the point about Confucianism teaching people to be obedient to authority.
but wouldn't the internet change the perspectives of at least the urban Chinese (you know, the one's who have internet)?
i mean, these people are not cut out from the outside world like the older generations were, they see how people live in other countries where freedom is abundant (well at least when compared with China).
is there really no chance these people will gang up on their dictators?
with the sheer amount of people they have they could simply march on Beijing and throw those communist party tyrants from their collars into a jail cell.
What "freedoms" are you talking about? What freedoms does an american have that a chinese doesn't? They can both move wherever they want. Walk wherever they want. Sure, they cannot TALK how they want but that is easy to understand how it got to be like that. Any country on Earth that has been open for western(English then American) influence has ended up With a puppet regime. Including EVERY EU country.
