Commies are godless, lawless, and uncivilized. I want the Commies out of Communist China.

I agree that communism should be out of China and democracy should be in its place. But........if a gradual phase out leads to a more properous China vs a sudden ousting with a collapse of the economy, then I vote for a gradual phase out. One only has to look at what happened in the former USSR where the rubble collapsed when the economic and political change was sudden and dramatic.

As a result, China has experienced a much healthier transition than Russia. Russia is highly reliant on oil and natural resources for her exports. China, manufacturing. And China is much better plugged into the world as a free market economy than Russia.

The ChiComs are not exactly undermining themselves. Their long range goals remain the same. All they've done is drop some Marxist economics.

It would not bother me at all to see their regime suffer the same fate as Gorbachev.
