By Mal Bozic, published 24/5/2006

Without internal reforms, China’s great power status may well be fleeting at best.

The author touch all different issues. The main issue is the nature of Chinese Communist Party. they use rubber stump to do thing, corrupt and politically not stable. Last years there are 87,000 protest throughout China.

Country like China to be a superpower will be terrible for our planets. China citizens morality is very bad among young generations. there is big gap bewteen City and rural.

The great march and communist revolution were staged not by factory workers but disenfranchised peasants. As time removes these veterans from the politburo their roots may well be forgotten and history may repeat itself.

It is obvious that China is undergoing great change but you'd need a crystal ball to predict the future. If they don't curb corruption and regulate business I suspect they'll end up like Russia. Somehow everyone gets by but the standard of living is far below its potential.

In reply to some of the other comments:

Sure the ruling dynasties may often have originated on the steppes to the north of China but the rulers did "sinofy" during their reigns. The mandarins and "middle management government" were ethnic Chinese. The direction of Chinese innovation has been ruled by its abudance in cheap human labour and the flat eastern farm lands. Who needs steam engines and railroads if you control millions of peasants that can dig the grand canal. Neccessity is the mother of invention.

Japan did also buy into the US and blew a lot of their money not understanding the market. I don't think this is a huge problem for the west.

When on business in Taiwan I didn't encounter anyone desiring independence. Most people saw themselves as Chinese and seemed to hope that the mainland would reform enough for Taiwan to voluntary reunite. I never pressed anyone on how long that might take though.

Yes India might overtake China as an economic power but it also has a long way to go. It is a shame that is only idle speculation when we wonder where India and Pakistan might have been now if they hadn't split in 1947 and spend all their economic energy fighting each other.

I don't think India won't overtake China in economic sector but just in number of population.

China and India have same advantage --- extremely cheap labor cost.

India is copying Chinese economic mode but I don't think the economic mode will last for a long time when labor cost is rising slightly.

Another potential threat for India is its runaway population.It'll be a quite troublesome problem for Indian authorities to eat every Indian full.Severe famine can destroy stability and economy of the nation.

China's dark ages are here and are being revealed to the world now.



The Australian Coalition to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (CIPFG) is authorised to release the following landmark independent investigation report in Australia:

REPORT INTO ALLEGATIONS OF ORGAN HARVESTING OF
FALUN GONG PRACTITIONERS IN CHINA
by David Matas and David Kilgour
July 6, 2006
Read the report: http://investigation.redirectme.net/

“Based on what we now know, we have come to the regrettable conclusion that the allegations are true. We believe that there has been and continues today to be large scale organ seizures from unwilling Falun Gong practitioners.” [Report excerpt]

The report was voluntarily prepared by Canadian Member of Parliament David Kilgour, (former director of Asia and Pacific division of Canadian Foreign Affairs Ministry) and renowned Canadian human rights lawyer, David Matas and backed by Members of Parliament from all parties. The report was released to the Canadian government July 6 after two months of research, with recommendations for diplomatic pressure and sanctions on China.

“I urge you to read this report and to make a contribution, in any way, to immediately investigate and stop these atrocities continuing in our world today.” Said John Xiao, CIPFG Spokesperson, Australia.

“This ‘living human trade’ is completely unacceptable in our country and to us, not only as Australians, but as human beings. At the absolute very least it warrants immediate investigation by the Australian government.” Said Mr Xiao.

The Australian CIPFG, established in April this year, has a growing membership of political, medical, legal and religious representatives, who do not practice Falun Gong, but who understand the urgency, as human beings, to investigate such atrocities.
