China is slowly liberalizing and moving towards democracy and more than 1 party while the USA is moving towards tyranny and a fascist military regime. 2011-2012 events in the middle east, particularly in Syria, Israel, and Iran will be the beginning of World War 3 with China and Russia backing Iran.
Keep in mind all of this has to do with energy control - control of natural resources. War in Eurasia for Energy. When the USSR broke up it lost 84% of its oil production and only later did Russia discover its natural gas capabilities, just as the USA has recently.
Perhaps American fascism or American crony democracy or American predatory capitalism will prevail over Chinese communism or European social democracy and capitalism or over Russian oligarchies, Russian capitalism. What will Latin America do throughout all this? They have the most democratic and natural capitalist societies on planet earth at the moment with the exception of Mexico which resembles Russian oligarchies.
Will the American Spring and the Occupy movement lead to greater freedom or greater oppression in the USA? Will America's police and armies defend its citizens or its corporations?
Beijing Spring
The Beijing Spring (Chinese: 北京之春; pinyin: Běijīng zhī chūn) refers to a brief period of political liberalization in the People's Republic of China which occurred in 1977 and 1978. The name is derived from "Prague Spring", an analogous event which occurred in Czechoslovakia in 1968.
During the Beijing Spring, the general public was allowed greater freedom to criticize the government than the Chinese people had previously been allowed under the government of the People's Republic of China. Most of this criticism was directed towards the Cultural Revolution and the government's behavior during that time; it was made public with the Democracy Wall Movement.
The phrase 'Beijing Spring' was also used during a more recent period of political thaw in the PRC, September 1997 to mid November 1998. During this 'new Beijing Spring' the Chinese authorities relaxed some control over political expression and organisation. The relatively trouble-free handover of Hong Kong to China, and the death of Deng Xiaoping were precursors to this brief period of liberalisation. It was during this second 'Beijing Spring' that the China Democracy Party was founded and legally registered by some local authorities, Democracy Wall dissident Wei Jingsheng was released and exiled, China signed the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and China was visited by US President Bill Clinton and UN Human Rights Commissioner Mary Robinson. By the end of 1998 the government had again cracked down on leading dissidents and those involved in the fledgling CDP.
