Chinese General Wants to Breathe

The Chinese two-star General Liu Yazhou said in Hong Kong’s Phoenix magazine that China must reform or perish, reported the Sydney Morning Herald on August 11. Liu said a social system will inevitably perish if it “fails to let its citizens breathe freely and release their creativity to the maximum extent, and fails to place those who best represent the system and its people into leadership positions”.

Liu thought that The United States has succeeded because of its “long-surviving rule of law and the system behind it.” China’s rise is unsustainable without democracy, he asserted, adding that “a transformation from power politics to democracy” will occur in the next 10 years.

(Did he mean “breathe” literally?  Let’s hope so!)
