China is so corrupt that at least 1/5 of its GDP is wasted through deficiencies through out the economy. Not only is it destroying it's environment at a break neck pace, it is condemning it's citizens to disease and environmental problems for centuries to come. Some of the pollution in central China is so bad that the average life expectancy there is less then in sub Saharan Africa.

Chinese middle class is smaller then in most DEVELOPING countries as a percentage of the whole population. The state bureaucracy is so pervasive it is almost out of reach to the regular Chinese and only responds to bribes and massive payoffs by foreign companies.

China has a byzantine justice system, there is no presumption of innocence, nor respect for the defendants rights.

Thousands of people are shot without trial every year. Political dissent is suppressed brutally, citizens rights are a foreign concept. Human rights are ridiculed and forced abortions are a ROUTINE PRACTICE. Children are indoctrinated at an early age to be atheists and believe only in the power of the communist party and money. There is huge army which has many entities and is a domineering factor in society. Defense spending is growing at almost 20% a year, China is building new weapons at a break neck pace.

China is a BACKWARDS society just like RUSSIA and other authoritarian systems. It will take MANY DECADES for it to be able to catch up with the west where peoples rights would not be violated daily.

THERE CAN BE NO LIFE WITHOUT FREEDOM AND DIGNITY
