发帖数: 555 | 1 Can you give a fair comparison between Western style democracy and the
Chinese government model?
Answered Mar 23
Ideology:
The West is a democracy-leaders are chosen based on votes.
China is a meritocracy-leaders are chosen based on merit. A political newbie
like Donald Trump would never be president in China; instead, all senior
officials are usually boring old men.
Business:
West: The businesses control the government (via lobbying). This makes many
Western nations more like an oligarchy than a democracy.
China: The government controls the businesses (state capitalism).
Strategic Sectors:
West: Most companies in strategic sectors are private.
China: All companies in strategic sectors are SOEs. Elsewhere, private
companies are common.
Media:
West: Media has bias and lies, but at least it has freedom of speech.
China: Media has bias and censorship, but at least it does not lie.
Propaganda:
West: Media and politicians say what you want to hear.
China: Media and politicians say what they want you to hear.
Infrastructure:
West: Demand and usefulness for infrastructure must be calculated beforehand.
China: “Build it and they will come.”
Judicial System Bias:
West: More bias favoring the rich, big business, whites, and females.
China: Pro-government bias. And prosecutors are more risk-averse, only
taking cases they are confident in, resulting in a 99% conviction rate. (
Japan and South Korea are similar.)
Intellectual Property:
West: “Everyone respect it!”
China: “Steal what? Also, your company might have to share key technology
with us to do business here.”
Genome Editing:
West: “I’m not too sure about this. It seems dangerous and we shouldn’t
‘play god’ to offend religion and mess with nature.”
China: “Wow, this is amazing! Its a whole new industry! Imagine the science
and money behind this! Let’s subsidize it!”
Property Rights:
West: “No, its fine. We won’t build this freeway or bridge on your land if
you don’t want us to.” (Unless its eminent domain.)
China: “Sorry, but you must relocate. We must build it for the greater good
. Don’t worry, we’ll compensate you.”
Planning:
West: Politicians only care about the next election.
China: Politicians have loooooooooooong term plans.
Decision-makers:
West: The people are always right. Give them power (democracy).
China: The experts are always right. Give them power (meritocracy).
Decision-making:
West: “Let’s debate. YOUR opinion matters.”
China: “Let’s produce results. Efficiency matters. No time to debate.”
Foreign Policy:
West: “You MUST adopt our ideology.” (Unless you’re a GCC state with lots
of oil.)
China: “We don’t discriminate based on ideology, let’s just trade.”
Neo-Imperialism:
West: “OMG, Chinese infrastructure loans in developing nations is neo-
imperialism!”
China: “OMG, the West interfering with developing nations’ internal
affairs and invading them is neo-imperialism!”
International Law:
West: “We follow it best, so we are never the bad guys! Everyone needs to
be more like us!”
China: “Not fair! These laws are rigged, it has pro-Western bias! Don’t
you dare impose it on us!”
Resentment:
West: “Everyone else’s culture, religion, ideology, morals, work ethics,
etc. is inferior. Keep them out of our borders and don’t let their nation
surpass us!”
China: “The West and Japan has bullied us for too long. Don’t let it
happen again!”
Finger-pointing:
West: “You are so evil because you aren’t democratic!”
China: “You are so evil because you keep interfering with my internal
affairs!”
Western media “Shit-chain” (#4). For the Chinese version, just delete ‘
Corporations’:
