A Short History Of China

[PoliticalChic]

1. A truly advanced and creative people, they have given civilization tons of stuff from gunpowder to civil service tests where the lowest status individual could become a government official.
And....of course, kung pow chicken.


2. On this date, October 10, 1911, Chinese revolutionary Dr. Sun Yat-sen overthrew the Manchu Dynasty, and became president. He turned his revolutionary organization into a mainstream political party, the Kuomintang, which won power in 1913 in the first-ever national elections.

3. The Chinese Civil War was a civil war in China fought between the Kuomintang (KMT)-led government of the Republic of China (ROC) and the Communist Party of China (CPC) lasting intermittently between 1927 and 1949.

4. Democrat Franklin Roosevelt either allowed, or offered, the secrets to nuclear bombs to his master, Joseph Stalin, with this result: the Soviet Union and Stalin's agents in Roosevelt's administration, made certain that Mao won the civil war.
Without the aid of Democrats, there probably would not have been a Communist China.

a. Without Chinese Communist aid, the current North Korea would not exist.



5. On April 5, 1951, Judge Irving R. Kaufman sentenced the Rosenbergs to death for theft of atomic secrets, and, resulted in "the communist aggression in Korea, with the resultant casualties exceeding 50,000 and who knows but that millions more of innocent people may pay the price of your treason."
Judge Kaufman's Sentencing Statement in the Rosenberg Case

a. It is clear today, based on archival evidence, unearthed by researchers in Russia and released in the United States, that Kaufman was correct. "Absent an atomic bomb, Stalin would not have released Pyongyang's army to conquer the entire Korean peninsula. Confident that his possession of atomic weapons neutralized America's strategic advantage, Stalin was emboldened to unleash war in Korea in 1950." Haynes, Klehr, and
Vassiliev, "Spies: The Rise and Fall of the KGB in America," p. 143, 545. And Romerstein and Breindel,"The Venona Secrets," p. xv, 253.

b. It is important to connect the treachery with the impact of that treachery: the theft of the nuclear technology with 36,940 Americans killed, 91,134 wounded, and 8,176 still missing, and this does not include at least two million civilian lives claimed on both sides. Bruce Cumings, "The Korean War: A History.' Included were 1.3 million South Korean casualties, including 400,000 dead. North Korea, 2 million casualties, and 900,000 Chinese soldiers killed.

Typical PoliticalChic historical spin fantasy but it did make me wonder about one thing. I constantly hear conservatives warning about the dangers of socialism yet Socialist China is on track to become the richest most powerful country on the planet. They are not there yet but they have come very incredibly far since WWII. I fear they will do to us what we did to the USSR, scare us into funding an enormous military that ends up bankrupting us.

I'll help you pack.

Can't even think about it until we get our pandemic under control as they have done.

My point was that their economy is doing just fine. Their political system is way too authoritarian for me. I'd prefer democracy, one-man, one-vote. I wonder which of the two countries will get there first?

Put your dinero where you put your dinner, windbag.

We'll try our best to make up for your loss to the country.

Oh.....and move out before you vote.

Wow, talk about a hack job.

What is your problem ? I love these imaginative flights of fancy.

And these few things virtually end the list of Chinese contribution to human civilization. I dont know how 'democratic' their tests were. Something tells me they are highly overrated.

"something' should tell you this:

The civil service exam system in imperial China was a system of testing designed to select the most studious and learned candidates for appointment as bureaucrats in the Chinese government. This system governed who would join the bureaucracy between 650 CE and 1905, making it the world's longest-lasting meritocracy.

What Was Imperial China's Civil Service Exam System?

China has a wall. They've been around thousands of years and will remain around till ??>

If you read the article properly, you will find that the poor class (which was a vast majority, I believe) was virtually excluded from the system on practice. Something tells me that a 'universal' system which allows access to a highly limited amount of people makes little sense.
