USA And The Future Of The World

[Hauma Hamiddha]

I have heard identical views as yours on a democratic China being a safe bet from some Americans. My take on it may be you are right. Some people have indeed declared that democracy reduces conflict due the government being under people's control. But then we have US a decmocracy entering into many unnecessary wars, often with the American people's support for these wars. So I am not immediately sure how the democratic Chinese may behave. I have encountered Chinese outside of China that have broken away from their government propaganda and these are generally not the like the Maoist in the homeland. But i still remain circumspect about China.

So in that case, if China were to become democratic eventually, it would certainly not be a neighbour heathen Asian countries would wish to have.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

This is a big danger. A Chinese scientist whom I met felt that the US is strongly driving for Xtianization of the land and is helped by the denudation of baudha and their native mata-s due to Maoism. In lanka, and some eastern bauddha countries the bauddha monks are aggressively checking missionary intrusions. But many Chinese are now thinking Xtianism is "cool".
