Now if democracy will not work for the Russians, a white Christian people, can we assume that it will naturally work with Asians?

If you can't force or are unwilling to force your people to follow you, with or without threats, you are not a leader.

If I have to shoot 200,000 students to save China from another 100 years of disorder, so be it.

They say people can think for themselves? Do you honestly believe that the chap who can’t pass primary six knows the consequence of his choice when he answers a question viscerally, on language, culture and religion? But we knew the consequences. We would starve, we would have race riots. We would disintegrate.

I have been accused of many things in my life, but not even my worst enemy has ever accused me of being afraid to speak my mind.

With few exceptions, democracy has not brought good government to new developing countries. What Asians value may not necessarily be what Americans or Europeans value. Westerners value the freedoms and liberties of the individual. As an Asian of Chinese cultural backround, my values are for a government which is honest, effective and efficient.

India is scared of the competition... because Chinese goods will go into India and compete.
