9. China supposedly has one of the most pragmatic, intelligent political classes on earth
Edited on Fri Apr-02-10 10:54 PM by Juche
That is my understanding, that many are engineers and very pragmatic. The GOP with their superstitions, rabid ideology, rejection of climate change and embrace of creationism would not fit in there.

Full blown republican leadership would be like what you saw in latin america in the 1980s. Military authoritarianism, anti-communism, anti-worker, Friedman economics, etc.

Also China is working on a universal health care plan while the GOP in the US tried to block ours.
