China have been laughing at America since Trump was elected, what do you expect when you elect a clown was one answer?
Most Chinese do not know about the insurrection in the US. Or care.
WHY – Education, better condition, better employment, Better health care more affordable and no Donalds.
Biggest challenge was losing my sense of American exceptionalism.
How is America going – it’s a mess.
Not just the Chinese are Laughing at the USA – its everyone.
China feels good that their system is doing better than the US system.
Chinese just find Trump funny but do not understand it.
Trump is the greatest thing ever to happen to china - China attribute Chinese success to Trump’s incompetence.
Biden is not far from him.
Americans can now choose between an irresponsible and a senile president.
Doesn't that say everything about American democracy?
Well, it says one very important thing about democracy... And one that is fundamental to its endurance and justness... Being: the executive head of state / head of government must not be and is not indispensable.
Under all tyrannies, the cult of personality is utilised to establish that the supreme leader is indispensable... This has been a feature of all tyrannies including National Socialism, Stalinism and Chinese 'communism'...
You might say that Marx's theories were usurped by totalitarians to falsely legitimise their claim that they are 'working for the people'; and, as we've witnessed with 'Marxism', wherever it is installed as the sole political force, it quickly degenerates into tyranny.
