And of course, what's most important for the majority of Chinese is to get out of poverty: make money. The social improvements must come first before Chinese worry about governing their own political future. This I also agree with Mr. John Smith, certainly a dispenser of wisdom from time to time.

PS: Have you submitted your resume to TIME?

Chinese are much better off. They are spared the trouble of choosing a leader. They can trust the Party leaders to pick the right one for them. They were never in doubt who will government them, forever. This kind of simplicity of life allows Chinese to focus on the most important activity in a Chinese's life: make money.

Looking it from another point of view, the American voters also discriminated against age and women and pick Obama. Instead of picking an experienced statesman and his women running mate, the Americans pick a young man with only a few years of political experience. This is discrimination at its worse.

Obama is only in his forties and he already has grey hair. Look at the Chinese leaders on stage. All of them, in the sixties, seventies if not eighties, all with jet black hair. Not a single grey hair in sight. That's a sign of healthy leaders, unlike Obama.

I think the US should just abolish elections and let the CCP pick leaders for them.
