Porky,

Even you should know that SpellCheck etc., does not correct typos when they are an error of fact and not of grammar/spelling.
Have another try.

I've been looking for the videos of the riots after the black Minneapolis policeman murdered Justine Damond, but they seem to have disappeared.

To all and sundry,

I think Foxy’s explanation of “injustice” on page 4 of this thread is closer to the truth than most.

The US is the undisputed leader of the “free world” and China, which is not a member, is its chief rival.

Two governing systems confront each other via these two world leaders : representative democracy and Chinese communism. Neither system is perfect, but one may ask which of the two provides more justice for its people ? The US with its population of 331 million or China with its population of 1,440 million ?

Perhaps we could enlarge the question to include not only justice, but also freedom and security. Which of the two governing systems is the most advantageous, on an overall basis, for its people ?

Since 2000, the United States Census Bureau officially recognizes 6 ethnic groups that make up the US population. Whereas, there are over 56 ethnic groups that are native to China.

The US governing system is said to be democratic, but is it really ? In 2016, Hilary Clinton won the popular vote by a margin of 2.9 million in the presidential election, but the electoral college decided Donald Trump would be president instead.

Also, representative democracy is a hybrid political system that combines characteristics of both democracy and oligarchy. Party candidates are democratically elected by the “demos” (people) to be their representatives, but they continue to owe allegiance to their political parties and are held to toe the party line at the risk of exclusion.

Party line is often influenced by the economic elite and special interest groups operating behind the scenes, when it is not simply promoting its own agenda. The “vox populi” is rarely audible and usually disregarded between elections. As a result, representative democracy tends to operate more as an oligarchy than as a democracy.

Technically, that’s not very different from the communist party oligarchy in China.

But Americans are still better-off, provided they are among the wealthier 10% of the 60.4% of the “White alone, not Hispanic or Latino” census category.

Banjo,
The biggest difference is that the USA has the rule of law, whereas the Chinese judiciary ignore China's laws and instead enforce the will of their leaders.

Given the choice between freedom and democracy, and three square meals a day I know what I would choose. Its unreasonable to compare China and America and their respective peoples economic and political positions. The backgrounds and makeup of both countries are completely different, and will fail any comparison test. Freedom and democracy goes well with a full belly and a nice house and car, it doesn't relieve hunger, it wont provide shelter, and it certainly wont give you a reasonable mode of transport. With not having this much coveted freedom and democracy can anyone explain exactly what the vast majority of Chinese people are missing out on?

No, there are huge differences between China and the US, and one can easily make valid comparisons between authoritarianism and democracy to to show why the latter will always prove superior.

Bl..dy hell, that is a no brainer.

If the US riots were sponsored by the Republican right wing, there would be shootings in the street. Nobody has been shot.

That proves to me, the riots are a concoction of the Democrats, and a ore-election stunt.
Trump is correct to blame them.
