But a posture of honesty appears too expensive even for the Chinese ruling party; how much more power do you need?

- carapace 7y agoNot a good example, Communism abrogates spirituality. It's intrinsically barren and illegitimate. The CCP, founded on a lie, can never afford the truth. And, indeed, we find them trying to maintain a fabricated history to maintain their power. (The "incident" in the Square, the name of Taiwan, and so on.) Generally, there is a correlation between personal power and integrity.
- newvoiceoldphne 7y agoNot sure why you got downvoted. It's an honest observation.
- carapace 7y agoMaybe it's worth stating that I consider myself pro-China. I'm anti-communist. If anything I'm a bit of a Sinophile. IMO the Tao Te Ching is one of the greatest books in the world, for example.
