When USA also invade Iraq because of suspicion of harboring WMDs. But after Iraq war, no WMDs were ever found. Now, USA accuse Syria of using chemical weapons, so can't you see the pattern here? Installing democracy is bad, because USA goes about bombing and invading countries to do so, from the failed Vietnam War and Korean War, to the Middle East.
Mao Zedong killed Chinese people, because it was a Chinese Civil War at that time and Chinese were killing Chinese, just like in the American Civil War, Americans killed Americans. But today, China is currently not at war with any country since 1979, and is instead building infrastructure in less developed countries like Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, Maldives, and also African countries like Kenya, Nigeria, Angola, Djibouti, etc.

Chinese workers worked hard to make products like smartphones, computers, appliances, electronics, toys, clothing, sneakers, etc, cheap so that inflation in America is kept to minimum and the cost of living is lower than it should be. Think of the billions of dollars Americans saved over the years on living expenses, thanks to affordable Chinese goods. Money saved that can be spent elsewhere like on school fees, tuition fees, or cars and luxury items.

Politics should be about doing what's right, not what's popular. Sometimes the popular thing may not be right, and the right thing may not be popular. Democracy is only doing what's popular, not necessarily what's right. For example, President Trump came to power by seducing people's votes and making false promises of making America great again. And the Americans actually bought it, and voted for him, even when he has zero political experience. The thing is that not every US citizen can be trusted to be politically savvy enough to make the right decision regarding the future of their country, and to vote responsibly. Some voters even choose not to vote, or submitted a blank vote, which skew the polls in favor of Trump.
In China's case, if Chinese people want change, then they simply join the government and must work their way up by garnering votes from other communist members, who are politically savvy and aware of China's political situation. It is not a perfect system, but in the end, the government can produce leaders like President Xi Jinping, whom have at least 30 year of experience. In my opinion, getting into politics shouldn't be easy. You are charting the course of a country of 1.4 billion (300 million for USA) so your leaders shoudn't be able to just waltz into power (like Trump waltzing into the White House). How can Americans entrust the future of your country to someone without political experience like Trump?

@thebeststooge About Chinese "Ghost" cities, every year, China has millions of people migrating from rural countryside to the urban areas to find jobs, and they are slowly filling up those ghost cities. For example, in Dec 2011, London’s Daily Mail reported that the Zhengzhou New Area 郑州市 was China’s largest “Ghost City.” But today, Zhengzhou has a population of 10,120,000 inhabitants, and had a GDP of 1,014 billion(RMB) in 2018.
It just means that it takes some time for our cities to fill up that's all.

Peter Byrne Your source said "Ethan Gutmann, former Canadian politician David Kilgour and lawyer David Matas claims China is performing 60,000 to 100,000 organ transplants a year."
But in 2015, there were 126,670 organs transplanted worldwide. So how could China have made almost as many organ transplants as the rest of the world (USA, UK, France, Germany, India, etc) all put together? Where does China get the necessary number of doctors to perform as many transplants as the rest of the world?

Where is Saddam Hussein's chemical weapons then? After Iraq war, no trace of WMDs were even found to be in Iraq's possession, so what is the motive for USA invading Iraq then? Now USA is claiming Syria has chemical weapons too?
And what makes you think installing democracy isn't bad, when it results in bloodshed and civilian casualties? During Vietnam War, USA use napalm to burn out villages and chemicals like Agent Orange to destroy foliage to expose the Viet Cong, but it result in lingering effects on Vietnamese civilians. And what makes you think USA is responsible for South Korea and China responsible for Vietnam? Every country is responsible for itself. Look at USA invade Iraq and Afghanistan, and are those countries any better than they were before?
In Civil War people die, just like in American civil war, so why are you blaming China for civil war? Today, China is not at war with any country, and is peaceful for 30 years since our last war in 1979. And killing people who disobey the government is part of capital punishment isn't it? Even the USA sentence criminals to death for disobeying the government laws so if you claim that this is bad, then why USA have capital punishment too? And you think all religion are good is that it? Why can't Chinese government take measures to curb religions that are disruptive to daily life? If you don't control the religion, then the religion will control your people isn't it?
And regarding loans, China runs a business, not a charity. Why is it you think giving charity to people will help them? If you give someone a fish, they live for a day. If you teach him to fish, then they live for way longer. China is building infrastructure like roads, railways, highways, schools, hospitals, hotels, shopping centers, powerstations and telecommunication projects, so that African nations can prosper. Isn't that much better than just giving charity?

@GM6.7 China is investing in less developed countries like Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, and also African countries like Nigeria, Angola, Chad, Sudan, etc, building infrastructure like roads, railways, highways, schools, hospitals, shopping centers, ports, dams, airports. China has possible done much to improve the lives of Africans in mere decades, as compared to what Westerners been doing in Africa for centuries. Here are 10 infrastructure projects in Africa funded by China.
1. Coastal Railway, Nigeria
2. Bagamoyo Port, Tanzania.
3. Modderforntein New City Project, South Africa
4. Standard Gauge Railway, Kenya
5. Infrastructure for Mines Barter Deal, DRC
6. Chad-Sudan Railway
7. Mphanda Nkuwa Dam
8. Hydroelectric Station Project, Mozambique
9. Infrastructure Projects, Malawi
10. Poty Sudan-Khartoum Railway

+Anthony Omega2 USA is invitation for criminals? Are you perhaps saying that America was originally haven for many criminal settlers, seeking refuge elsewhere, and that their descendants form bulk of US society today? Also what do you mean by saying "every crime done in USA are from immigrants or their descendants, unless you are a Native American"? What qualifies as Native American? Being a citizen before 9/11?
Because you mentioned God later, I thought you are saying US prison incarceration rate somehow linked to religion or repentance and so on. Ordinary weapons like knife, bat, sticks etc still don't compare on same level as a firearm, even of smallest caliber. With guns, you can rob banks, kill people, threaten/force people (even rape at gunpoint) etc, at greater capability.
Its also easier detect guns than for ordinary weapons, which could be anything. Passing a simple gun control law in US could do wonders to reduce number of high-end violent crime. But freedom is such that once people experience it, no way are they going to give up their right to bear arms.

Chinese workers manufacture cheap goods like smartphones, computers, appliances, electronics, sneakers, clothing, etc so that inflation in America is kept to a minimum and the cost of living in America is lower than it should be. Think of the millions of dollars Americans have saved on living expenses over the years thanks to affordable Chinese goods. Money saved that can then be spent on finer or important things like cars, houses, school fees, college tuition, getting married, etc.

Chinese economic relations with N. Korea are bilateral issue, and different from the agreed UN sanctions. Remember that N. Korea is nuclear-capable state, and the government doesn't want push the country over the edge and create conflict in growing East Asia. Our economies are at stake here in East Asia if war breaks out here.
US deploys forces to those regions, but because of that, S. Korea and Japan do not have to spend as much on their military, as compared to USA. Its the same situation as in US military support in NATO. Those countries spend less on their military due to presence of US military assets to defend them.
Why not USA withdraw forces from S. Korea and Japan (doesn't have to be 100%, maybe 50% or even 20%) and then use this excuse to coax N. Korea into abandoning its nuclear program. S. Korea and Japan will be alarmed and increase their defense budget, and USA benefits from reduced military expenditure (similar to reduce expenditure in NATO). Afterall, sanctions clearly do not seem to work on N. Korea.
Lastly if Guam is truly US territory, then why are the people of Guam not allowed to vote during US elections? Guam is not one of the 50 states of USA, possibly because US government afraid the people of Guam would vote for independence if given the chance to do so.

+Crazy Asian Who are you calling naive? How do you know it won't work at all? Trump is planning withdraw US troops and military assets from NATO, so why are US military bases in South Korea and Okinawa Japan any different? Will US lose credibility if it withdrew forces from NATO? No, so why is it different from East Asia?
South Korea and Japan both signed the Non-Proliferation Treaty, so who says they will develop nuclear weapons because US withdraw troops? Why would Americans see the withdrawal as cowardly, if USA can use the withdraw to prompt North Korea into signing an agreement?
For example, USA can withdraw 20% of its forces, then agree to withdraw the rest, only if North Korea agrees to complete denuclearization. If it doesn't agree, USA would at least save 20% of its East Asian military expenses, and it will coax South Korea and Japan into spending more money on their army.
What USA controlling wars? USA is involved in wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and other Middle East countries even in 2000s. East Asia doesn't have any war at the moment, so why USA interfering with East Asia? Does USA want to turn peaceful East Asia into conflicted Middle East, and hurt our growing economies here?
So why are the "happy" people in Guam not allowed to vote during American elections? How do you know if they are happy or not?

+Crazy Asian Why do you keep mocking me being naive? Trump may not truly withdraw from NATO, but he is negotiate better terms for USA in NATO. NATO represents military interest of several countries, so how is it completely different from US military bases in South Korea and Japan? USA is not obliged to defend NATO countries if American citizens are unhappy about US military expenditure in NATO. That's one of reason Trump supporters voted for him in the first place right? Where is the lost of face from reducing US military expenditure in NATO?
What proof do you have of Japan and S. Korea developing nuclear weapons once US troops withdraw? Both of them are NPT signatories, so where are they going to acquire nuclear weapon technology supplies from? Who will supply them with nuclear weapons?
North Korean missiles can't even reach US mainland, so where is the inherent threat to US way of living? The closest that US mainland has ever come to being in great danger, was during Cuban Missile crisis, so what is the threat level faced by USA today? You think N. Korea won't be wiped off the map, once it attack USA?
USA still suffers from occasional terrorists attack within its own soil. By sending its troops to Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya, it is only destroying the lives of Middle Eastern countries, and therefore, the ranks of the terrorists swell with more and more poor people unhappy with USA. Even when one terrorist cell brought down, another rises in its place. Look at Taliban once being trained by CIA, which then rebel against USA. Even ISIS is said to be product of US constant intervention in Middle East.
Guam has been on a quest for self-governance since 1980s. However, the federal government rejected the version of a commonwealth that the government of Guam proposed. Even the United Nations is in favor of greater self-determination for Guam and other such territories. Can't you see that USA is purposely keeping Guam as part of its territory, without making it a proper state of America and even giving it the right to vote to voice its opinions?
I use "our" to refer to East Asia, not America. If war breaks out in East Asia, it will be millions of Chinese, Japanese and especially Koreans dying, while Americans will still be relatively safe in US mainland. USA is the one sending its warships and military assets halfway across the globe unnecessarily to possibly declare war in Asia. China will not let USA turn peaceful Asia into battleground like the conflicted Middle East and destroy our decades of progress achieved here.

+Crazy Asian Why do you constantly insult me? How is having military bases in South Korea and Japan contribute to "national security"? US soldiers in Okinawa bases sometimes rape the local Okinawans, but the Japanese government can't do anything about it. And there is alot of prostitution going on in US miltary bases in S. Korea, which the S. Koreans do not appreciate. What has this got to do with security of US mainland at all?
If Guam is truly US territory, then why aren't Guam citizens allowed to vote for US president, like rest of American states? Its not even considered a commonwealth, like Puerto Rico, so what exactly is Guam, if not a territory held captive by US federal government? Those babies born in Guam may have US passport, but they still lack the ability to participate in US politics through voting. What has me being Chinese got to do with my political views about Guam? Do you discriminate people's political views by their race and their people?
Chinese government has made multiple repeated requests for Indian troops to withdraw from our territory. The government has also given India a deadline to act, otherwise, there will be possibly military consequences, such as deployment of more PLA troops, attack helicopters and Multi-Rocket Launcher vehicles to the area. You think our government is like Trump, just deciding to bombard Syria airbase with 59 Tomahawk missiles, just like that?
Some Chinese politicians are moving their families out of China, because of pollution issues, or because of corruption crackdown tracing the source of their wealth. It is not simple affair, but regardless, they are still CPC members and are still expected to participate in China's politics.

Chinese political system is constantly undergoing change, from Mao Zedong's Marxism, to Deng Xiaoping's Capitalism, and now, President Xi Jinping's Socialism with Chinese characteristics. If certain policies just don't work, then it is pragmatic to discontinue them, and if other policies work, then they should be continued. Changes made to Chinese constitution should be welcomed instead.
In contrast, Western democracies have been undergoing severe political "stagnation" for several years, because of its refusal to make sweeping reforms. I mean, LGBT rights is one thing, but surely there are many more important priorities.

+Peter Byrne Likewise, where is Matas and Kilgour 'extensive' research to exaggerate China's organ transplant figure from 10,000 to 100,000? Where does China get all the organ doctors to support nearly as many organ transplants as the rest of the world put together? My source makes use of international experts, including Dr. Campbell Fraser, a scholar from your Australia's Griffith University who was also present at the Geneva conference,
"I would like to clearly state that China does not use organs from Falun Gong practitioners, I'm absolutely convinced of that. The people running those campaigns are activists who have got a political view in contrary to what China is all about. Such a claim is just nonsense, they think that it will be difficult to prove that it does not happen, but I've been to China and I know this is totally untrue," Fraser said.
Here is another article, in which organ experts Jose Ramon Nunez Pena, medical officer of the World Health Organization, and Michael Millis, vice-chairman for global surgery and director at the University of Chicago's School of Medicine Transplant Center, dismissed the allegations of organ harvesting rumors. Pena, a transplant surgeon who has visited China often, said the claimed number (100,000) is equal to the transplant activity of the entire world and is practically impossible.

Johnny Dominguez Frankly speaking, if the machine can do the job better than humans, then what's wrong with using machines instead of people? China is no stranger to embracing technology, look at China's massive surveillance system and advanced facial recognition software for example. It has helped Chinese law enforcement in many ways as I will explain here:
China has world's largest population, so its very difficult for law enforcement to maintain order. China faces a shortage of police officers as compared to other countries; China has only 115 police officers per 100,000 people, which is below the global median of 300 officers per 100,000 people. So China uses massive surveillance and advanced facial recognition software to make up for the shortfall in police officers in China.
Source: Wikipedia: List of countries and dependencies by number of police officers
But your biased anti-China Western propaganda is going to give it a negative spin about some "dystopian" scenario, when thanks to this system, crime rates in China have gone down and people are safer in most Chinese streets than even some Western countries. If the technology can do the work of humans, then what's wrong with making use of technology then?
