Maybe instead of trying to compare apples to house bricks. How about comparing two similar countries, China and India. They have similar populations, simmilar location and size, with about 70 years of operating their political systems. China with an authoritarian regime, India with its democratic regime. Both began from a very low base in 47 India, and 49 China. How do things stack up today for Mr and Mrs Average in both countries today. Presumably the Indians have their freedom and democracy and the Chinese have full bellies. I don't believe the average Chinese loses much sleep worrying about the countries governorship, nor does the average Indian, much more mundane things to worry about for both of them.

Really, china still has 600 million earning less than $US5.50 per day.

Many Chinese are hardly booming, while the a.. lickers in the CCP party on.

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

Can anyone remember them, I wonder where they went?

Chris,

That is terrible. All those hundreds of millions of Chinese only earning $5.5 a day.

No, it's just not on!

Australia can bring about 40 million of them here where they can earn much more. It's a multicultural gesture. We can billet them at Foxy's and LOUDmouth's homes, where they can all join hands and sing Kumbaya.

Dan, has it ever occurred to you that not all events in the USA are instigated by the political parties?

I've wondered what has happened to the Minneapolis cop who murdered the Australian woman. Of course, she was white, and all the mouth-foamers on OLO are interested only in black people and what nasty white people do to black people. As you say, the woman's murder wasn't seen by African-Americans as a chance for rioting and looting. There wasn't a proportionate reaction from white people either. We we white people deserve everything we get apparently.
