Tony_onrock Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Not sure. There are too many things happening these days and what it takes is an economic down turn to spark it. There is a lot of hatred towards the government but no one is willing to risk it to start a revolution. Link to comment
GDBILL Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 ... And I thought...my dear precious wife and son do not have the right or freedom to live in America with me How ironic is this....moronic explains it a lot better, me thinks. How do you figure that? Well, Wild Bill, its like this rat cheer....Filed K-1 November 2006, interview in July 2007 treated like a dog by an American and AR blue slipped at interview, 300 day wait on the blue slip which turned into a denial in May 2008, then a short thirteen months for the application to get sent back to the NVC in June of 2009. In July of 2009 the USCIS re-approved the application with no rebuttal letter sent to me...meaning there never was anything wrong with the application to begin with. All courtesy of the American government with no repressive pinko Commie's causing any trouble. Maybe next time "freedom" will apply, eh? I can handle the visa crap, it's just par for the course, especially with my knowledge that when you play ball with Uncle Sammy, he has a tendecy to stick the bat up your ass...at least thousands didn't die in this case. What are your plans for this big revolution that's gonna rock China to it's foundation? tsap seui I do regret using the word "right" as I full well understand that there is no "right" to an immigration visa. Wow, I am sorry to hear that you got such poor treatment in your quest to bring your family to the States. I would like to think that our government had its act together, but I guess we all know that isn't the case. Although there is no "right", I believe there should be a right to an immigrant visa once certain essential criteria are met. Families should have the right to be together. I also have to agree that the term "communist" is pretty much irrelevant these days to anybody with half a brain. As messed up as China is sometimes, the degree of fuckedupedness can often be matched by our own government back home. Sad, but true. Link to comment
GDBILL Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 The National People's Congress is currently in session in Beijing. I've been watching interviews every night on CCTV9 of participants. These delegates come from all over and all walks of life and less than 40% are party members... NO No not that party... But it is very interesting to listen to their desires for ways to improve their country. There IS a great interest in moving forward in giving THE PEOPLE more control, more freedom, more rights, more say in what goes on and how things are done...One can only hope that the leaders are hearing this and acting on it... Less than 40% of NPC members are Party members?? Where does that data come from? Is the source credible? As much as the Party fears losing their grip on power, it would be amazing if they allow a body composed of primarily non-party members to actually have any real power. Link to comment
chengdu4me Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 I heard that same thing about the 40%. I later heard, after watching the TV for awhile that is the CPPCC that was mentioned and that only 40% of that body holds a official government position. But, I understood that to mean that they ALL were party members. I'll qualify that by saying that as in anything in China based on my interpretation/understanding..there is a good chance that I could be mistaken. Link to comment

As much as the Party fears losing their grip on power, it would be amazing if they allow a body composed of primarily non-party members to actually have any real power. I think that it is reasonable to accept the 40% number, but only the CCP members get to vote on the important issues. The rest are window dressing. By that I mean that some participants are there to support to actions of the CCP. I read an article on the BBC about a guy who was attending, but was not a member of the CCP. In the interview he told the interviewer that he was there not to oppose or protest any decisions by the CCP, but to show support. Link to comment

Not every single government employee is a party member and not every party member is a government employee. But I believe everybody in the decision making process is a party member or a member of one of the party's subsidiary parties. Link to comment

The world is much more open and all that propaganda from both sides is much more transparent to regular citizens of both cultures for what it always was. When an American, or a Chinese points a finger at the other they have to remember...they have 3 fingers pointing right back at them and their country.

Roggie, you know I meant you no harm or loss of face with my words, I do respect you and your wife's entrepreneurism with your home purchases...it has to be quite a fulfilling experience. I don't have time to cruise the internet for news, but I do ocassionally watch the news on CCTV9...when some tearful Korean soap opera isn't unfolding it sorrowful tale on another channel The NPC, etc., coverage has been interesting. They "seem" to cover both sides of the story instead of just making their agenda like our news coverage. Do you, and others more in the know, feel that is true about TV9? Or are they just another puppet of an agenda....I do like their interviewer who has his own hour...he is like a pitbull and when he asks a direct question...the other guy is on the spot and WILL wind up answering...with no political doublespeak...I like that, he takes no prisoners. tsap seui Link to comment

I would like to think that our government had its act together, but I guess we all know that isn't the case. Although there is no "right", I believe there should be a right to an immigrant visa once certain essential criteria are met. Families should have the right to be together. I also have to agree that the term "communist" is pretty much irrelevant these days to anybody with half a brain. As messed up as China is sometimes, the degree of fuckedupedness can often be matched by our own government back home. Sad, but true. Thanks Bill, our immigration system is just is what it is. I can live with it as it has allowed me to buy a nice lil' nest in China that may become very important should my wife find she doesn't care for America, plus we've gotten the opportunity to truly understand each other when the shit hits the fan, more so than we would if she had been given the quick visa after a few fantasy/honeymon trips to China would have afforded us. I agree fully with your last paragraph...Joe McCarthy is long dead. The world is much more open and all that propaganda from both sides is much more transparent to regular citizens of both cultures for what it always was. When an American, or a Chinese points a finger at the other they have to remember...they have 3 fingers pointing right back at them and their country. China will change, just as America is changing, but it has to be at their and our OWN pace. Folks say, "we can't allow China to tell us who our friends are", well, why should we expect that we can tell them how to run their own country? The carrot works much better in making friends with an important country like China, than the garrot. I've always liked your insightful, biting, no holds barred posts from Chinertucky. You've been there a long time, have a sense of what's going on, and your not easily suffering fools approach is often hilarious to me, even if I am sometimes "the fool". Keep it up...and remember to duck when the "revolution" explodes. tsap seui I'm worried ... very worried ... I'm starting to agree with you and with ShaQuaNew all in one day. Now I'm worried! The End must be near. Now, I'm skeerder than hell...1.3billion crazed Chinertuckians revolutin' at the same time is jest downright....revoltin'...what's a feller to do? Anybody got room in their fallout shelter? Chicken Lil' kicked me out of his, that horrible paranoid foul fowl. I jest caint understand why the Chinese and the rest of the world just don't do what we tell 'em to do...can you imagin what a great and peaceful world it would be if all the other countries listened to us and did what we tol' them to do, instead of what they think they need to do? Why, America could rule the world if everybody else just shut up and did as we tol' 'em to do? tsap seui Son, have you gone soft in the head??? Could you kindly show me where in the article it talks about what American wants China to do... Could you please 'splain to me how it was America and the other western running dogs that shoved Charter 08 down the throats of the Chinese people... Some folks just can't bear to think that there may actually be people right in China who are not just ecstatic over the present system... Son, I say son, the inside of my hed is softer than a 80 year old woman's left breast...and I always did have trouble follerin' directions and stayin' on topic. Charter 08? I used that once, why, the chartered, #08 Greyhound bus I wuz on left outta downtown Baltimore and took over 15 hours to cover the 150 miles to Buffalo Mills, Pennsyltucky. As furr as what "some people caint bear to think about what the Chinese folks think about their government"...I let out a loud blast of indifferent flatulence and say, some people jest can't seem to keep their minds and their research offa other folks business. tsap seui Link to comment

I mean, the "Sure do have big tomatoes this season!" conversation starter only goes so far. Link to comment
