No thanks, we're Chinese
New meeting in a new year. Same message.Democratic Reforms Risk Plunge Into ‘Abyss,’ Leader Says
The leader of China’s quasi-legislature said Thursday that China would never embrace Western political tenets like multiparty democracy or the separation of governmental powers because loosening the Communist Party’s hold on power risked plunging the nation into “the abyss of internal disorder.”
The statement by the chairman of the National People’s Congress, Wu Bangguo, echoed his statements at the legislature’s last annual meeting in March 2010, when he said that a China without absolute Communist Party control would be paralyzed by internal divisions. Mr, Wu, the party’s second-ranking official, made the remarks during a speech in which he said the government last year had completed a “socialist system of laws with Chinese characteristics based on the situation and realities in China.”
