Do you remember what you were doing on October 6, 1982?
Perhaps not, as it was exactly 40 years ago.
But I do, because it was a special day for me – I finally “escaped” from “communist China” on that day – I left China for Japan on October 6, 1982!
The People’s Republic of China (PRC) was born on October 1, 1949. Seventy-three years later, China is well on her way to claiming the 21st century – China offers a real, and the only, significant model of prosperity, without colonialism, thus finally ending western colonialism of the past few hundred years!
What’s really going on between the West and the “rest” nowadays? President Biden has made it a big deal of “democracy vs. autocracy” (Democracy vs autocracy: Biden’s “inflection point”). But to me, it’s far more profound than that – It’s actually “colonialism vs. communism”, with communism prevailing!
It’s time to talk about France, especially after talking about the U.K. (What is the United Kingdom, anyway?).
In this post, I will highlight Alexis de Tocqueville’s famous book “Democracy in America” and then completely denounce it.
How can the U.K., a country composed of some islands in West Europe, become such a powerful country, with its language, English, as the global language today?
To understand Libertarianism and American Conservatism, one needs to truly understand Ayn Rand.
Milton Friedman was an influential and controversial American economist. As a self-proclaimed disciple of Adam Smith and Thomas Jefferson, he religiously preached for freedom and individualism, especially later in his life.
In this post, I will briefly assess his political works, with a clear conclusion that he is mostly a man of the past.
Mikhail Gorbachev just passed away (Mikhail Gorbachev, Soviet leader who ended Cold War, dies at 91). Hailed as a hero in America, he will eventually be, if not already has been, regarded as a traitor in Russia. In contrast. China’s Deng Xiaoping has proven to be the greatest peaceful transformation leader in human history!
What, then, is the relationship between Gorbachev and Deng?
