Chinese Economic demise..Wishful US Thinking?

Originally posted by moorookamick ↑

IMO its logical:

Suppose that the structure/organisation was reversed

-That Government PMs & Ministers ware appointed on merit with longish
tenure and that Corporations had their CEO/Management
elected by employee popular vote for 3 year terms.

IMO that wouldn't work very well for business and the
private enterprise share of our economy would soon
collapse .

So getting back to the Chinese system:
China has 100 million CCP members
from which its local, State and National
politicians are selected on the basis of merit
with their career paths via local and State
Governments to the National level.

Four years ago when Kevin Rudd was
launching his book "The Avoidable War"
which was in essence the book form of his
recently acquired Oxford PHD, the Chinese
Ambassador to Australia made a remark during
Q&A:;::........He said: "
its interesting that some
Australian Politicians get their PHDs after their lives
in Aussie Politics but in China we do it the other way around"

I guess the bottom line here as that most those whom we
elect to Parliament are, in most cases, inadequately
educated/experienced to do the job and that's exacerbated by a
short 3 year term and that if this system were to be applied
to corporations, then more likely than not, the corporation would
collapse within a few years

To compensate for that we have a Civil Service which
is far from being "democratic" "Yes Minister" made
a laughingstock of this system!

Hi Mick

I have never been to China so can only comment on what I observe from here
1/ No system is ever perfect and I read from your posts that you believe that the China system is perfect so that brings in a question of reality on your part
2/ From my perspective I see the results of the continual world domination plans of China and the apparent lack of care for their people by putting war mongering and domination above providing for their people.
You can only spend money once either the people or war !

The attitude of China to HongKong and it's gradual destruction to get it firmly under total CCP control. Impending war with Taiwan instead of mutual cooperation, these are signs that do not show a good caring country or government

So everything I observe is that all political systems fail when dictators forget what their job is and they have no "sheriff" in the system to drag them back to reality and to their core reason for existence

We have unfortunately in the Western World a plethora of basically fascist run governments, and I know that fascism is supposed to be far right organizations but in reality far left and far right governments are the same thing

We no longer have free capitalist societies in the USA, UK or Australia

The only way IMHO to fix any of the systems is to introduce systems that curb the unmitigated greed of politicians and make it impossible for them to put the country and it's people at risk just to satisfy what is their own personal power play with OPs money

Direct Democratic Government (as per the Swiss system ) and the recall election
