Because China isn't a small backwater country that the US can mess around with if they feel like it. Why do you think China is spending so much on its military and security forces? Because it wants to maintain stability and not be bullied by other countries ever again after having been bullied for so long in its history. Between having nukes and an ever increasingly more modern military, no one is going to be screwing around with the Chinese again and especially trying to dictate to them as to what they should do inside their nation.

@forumics there is no perfect style of government but as of today democracy is still the best form of government. china could benefit from putting the best people ahead via democracy than parachuting leaders into positions of power just like russia and putin. Where do you live? Because in places like Canada and the US they're DEFINITELY NOT necessarily putting the best and most qualified into important positions so that things are getting done. Just look at how often now positions in government are filled based on gender and diversity rather than talent and skill? Heck Trudeau in Canada INSISTED that his cabinet of ministers be a 50/50 male/female split regardless if they were the best or not and that some of them of course had to be minorities as well. That to me doesn't sound much better than what China might be doing in their country and looking at the results of what China has accomplished in the past several decades compared a place like India, I'd say the Chinese method has been much, MUCH more successful.

@wazzupdj98d61 It reeks of the dogma that some who study geopolitics have, which is that Democracy in China, or Russia, or some other currently authoritarian nation is impossible or even undesireable. Democracy in China is impossible and would never work. All you have to do is look to India 'the world's largest democracy' and see how well its working for them. Imagine if instead India had a government similar to China's running their nation all these years? They would be doing so much better right now. Heck even democracy in western countries is largely bullshit and often doesn't work either. How many times do people complain about only having the same couple of parties to vote for which are both shit choices, but you vote for the less shittier choice? In many places I think it'd be better just to have one government that runs things and can get shit done rather than having several parties debating neverendingly about doing something without ever doing it.

Governing 1.4 billion people under one state creates too much challenges, which is the reason why Chinese resorted to authoritarian rule and oppression against will of people. I would argue that if China broke up into several or more pieces that the parts that are now not very rich would be doing even worse. If poor areas in China become their own nations, how would they do better all of a sudden? Are you assuming the world will right away pour in money and resources to help lift these places out of poverty? Whether people like to hear it or not, the most stable and most prosperous China is one that is centrally run like it is now. Breaking it up and trying to implement some form of democracy would only cause more problems than it solves.

@acgdjjj Which regions of China are you talking about that haven't seen at least some decent development in recent years? Sure the eastern part of China may have seen much more development and prosperity, but its not like the other parts of China haven't seen a rise in standards of living. Far from great, but far from horrible. Also we've already seen in China's past how having multiple governments/warlords etc. running their own parts of the country have turned out, namely really badly. I doubt things will be any different now. China being run by a central government with a purpose and direction for the entire country and its people is far better than having separate nations all looking out for their own interests. Things are far from perfect in China, but they'd be much, MUCH worse off if they weren't a single country run by one government and they definitely wouldn't be the world power that they are now.

Nobody wants to work for some vague notion of a greater good. I would say that's exactly what has happened in places like Canada and the US. I live in Canada and most everyone is in it for themselves or their tribe or organization or some other group they're associated with. Barely anyone wants to come together to make Canada a better country and a better place for all Canadians to live in. This is the result of all the diversity that Canada keeps importing where so many different groups of people have so little in common with each other that they largely keep to themselves in their own parts of a city or area.
