- akban 5y agoAnd it's a crying shame that you are obviously unaware of the difference between 'authoritarianism' and 'totalitarianism'. Here's a hint: Saudi Arabia, Iran, and North Korea are 'totalitarian' - they attempt to control every aspect of the lives of their citizens/subjects: Dressing (Compulsory Hijabs for muslim women in Saudi Arabia & Iran. Western-Style dressing, e.g. miniskirts, forbidden in North Korea), Food (alcohol prohibited in Iran/Saudi Arabia), Behaviour/Lifestyle (Watching South Korean movies/dramas a punishable offence in North Korea. Public kissing between unmarried couples a punishable offence in Saudi Arabia), etc. While China, Russia, Vietnam, Morocco, etc are 'Authoritarian'. So next time, please attempt to educate yourself before coming here to show off your ignorance.

- akban 5y agoReally? So if you kiss publicly in Beijing, you'll be arrested? Or if you wear miniskirts in Shanghai, you'll be prosecuted? Or if you drink alcohol in Chongqing, you'll be taken before a judge?

- Fricken 5y agoWhat you want, or what the world wants - none of it matters if it isn't on the list of available options. That list is pretty short, now that the US has granted statehood to their 8th century terrorist allies. Whether China will succeed remains to be seen, but historically peaceful economic development has a much better track record than endless war when it comes to moderating extremist viewpoints.
- mytailorisrich 5y agoWe should keep an eye on Saudi Arabia, then. They were overtly an ally of the Taliban the last time and their links with Al Qaeda are well known.
