Real democracy – government by, for, and of the people

The true measure is : does the government work for the people, or vice versa.

Is it a sham / illusion / deception 'democracy' - elections, where one is forced to choose between elite factions, that are basically the same ideology? 'Pick a card, any card ...'

Or is there a better way based on merit and that is bottom up - a system that truly responds to, and cares for, the people?

In China, the people are family.

In the West, the people are livestock.

-- Recently, out of the hundreds of countries in the world, three decided to suicide, to serve their puppet masters : the Philippines, Argentina and Italy. Will Taiwan (not a country) be next? Are they Chinese or just fodder on a US missile base ??? --

China has defended itself (hence the Great Wall), but never been expansionist ...

YT comment : George-rj4fj :
"They who point fingers at China, failed to notice the huge expansionism of the Euro-Caucasians throughout the world so that some 2/3 of the world speaks not only English and Spanish but have also been forced into adopting Western cultures, religion, history and clothing. Talk about "cultural genocide"!
They who accuses China of "expansionism" are also ignorant of history. Mongolia and Manchuria became part of China not from Chinese Han expansionism of conquest but because China was conquered by the Mongols and the Manchus and became part of THEIR empires. So too did Tibet when it ran wars into China in an expanding of the Tibetan Empire - and was defeated and absorbed in turn. Chinese culture is an amalgamation of all the different cultures that were absorbed into the greater Chinese diaspora.
They who do not know history and are content in creating their own versions from western propaganda make themselves foolish by opening their mouths on topical subjects that they have absolutely no idea about."

Extreme Wild Great Wall hike
Due to its height this part of the Great Wall of China was single sided and narrow. Through the centuries of wind and rain it has become greatly eroded. Although that adds to the charm, it is a very dangerous hike that is NOT to be experienced first hand, but rather by this film. Enjoy the thrill from your armchair, only. And we mean that.
