People often talk about and accuse the Chinese government of being bad for its people, but in the absence of a better alternative their government is still the best thing for the people. What else would the people of China support? If you really want to accuse the government of being bad then you must offer a better alternative. There was a point in time where any Chinese person would have given an arm and a leg for a visa to a western country. That’s now changing with the rising middle class in China. But if we really wanted to say the government is bad, then we also need to welcome their best and brightest, grant visas, and offer them an alternative. Otherwise think about the impossible situation you levy on the ordinary Chinese citizen with rhetoric like “hey we don’t like how your government treats you because your government sucks, but also you can’t join our team. Therefore we will just fight you (in war) and you can either fight against us or help us fight your government (oh but sorry you still cannot join us).” Obviously the average Chinese person will most likely still support their own way of life and government, no matter how bad you think their government is for them, because at the end of the day you are not really doing anything better for them. Even if you go and “liberate” them from the tyranny then what? Install a puppet government like in Afghanistan? Grant them all citizenship and annex it as part of the US (there are more Chinese people there so they would “take over” if that happened especially if we really believe in one vote per person)? |
