The thought of a truly democratic China today should be a terrifying thought to the rest of the world. It's a risky prospect compared to the current stability and growth. I'm sure they'll grow into their own version of democracy when necessary.

And speaking of "democracy" is a two party system really all that much better or different than a one party system?

I think very few people would hold up, say, the USA as a model of governance and democracy at this point. There's higher standards to aspire to.

But, yes, even a two party democracy is better than a one party authoritarian regime.

Why would it be terrifying if it was truly democratic?

Most of China is compromised of uneducated, ultra-nationalist peasant farmers. While they are lovely people I think it's in everyone's interest that they not dictate national policy.

The current government is IMHO doing a great job. Even on issues that they aren't great on, they are at least trending in the right direction. Why meddle and fix something that isn't broken?

lol

Terrifying because they are Chinese and you are not?

Is that what your unhelpful 'lol' implies?
