China is going through the similar path that a country must gone through from a developing country to a developed country. Those western develped countries had also gone through the same path and experienced the similar problems China is facing now - economic growth, human right, enviromental problems, etc. There are many documentries and books show us how US, Japan and other develped countries experienced the same problems.
We should be glad to see how China has grown and improved both economically and politically over such a short period of time (it is much shorter than the time US and other countries had needed). How the Chinese goverment react in the Shichuan earthquate is a good demonstration of how the goverment is learning from their mistakes and willing to become a responsible goverment. |
