Does the supression of religion in China give the country an unbeatable advantage?

Whether its in XinXang, or the Hunan province, if Jihadists rise up, the Chinese simply wipe them all out. No Seymour Hersh there to find an Abu Grahib. No weak kneed leftist anywhere to raise the "human rights" banner.





Under the current system, the Chinese can never enjoy true freedoms, and thus, never have a comparable standard of living, but as a economic and military force, China's 'no-religion' policy has its advantages.





Look at the rest of the world. One big quagmire of religion and tip-toeing around Jihadists, who laugh at the sentimentalities of human rights advocates.





The rest of the world gets their economies get blasted by self righteous neaderthal Jihadists and the Chinse can only smile and say to themselves "how does your high minded absolutist ideas of 'freedom of religion' taste now westerner!".





Clearly, in the real world, there is an exception to 'freedom of religion' and the religion behind Jihad couldnt be better proof of the point.

I think what gives China an unbeatable advantage are billions of slave laborers whose products we buy literally by the boat load.
Reply:I dont think so. the disadvantage there is that the peoples choice is limited. when people have limited choice they either resign or rebel. neither attitudes are productive. the rebels ensue destruction or leave the country those that can leave the country are usualy the wealthy ones highly educated chinese. freedom of choice is a fundamental right and also to be able to express it. that's why its compelling to live in a society that allows that. think of all the china towns. they love china and bring it everywhere they go. i think that the lack of freedom in experssion reduces the amount of economic wealth of the people.
Reply:Their GDP is 2/3 of ours. Their population is 4X ours. Their per capita GDP is 1/6 ours. I don't call that unbeatable. Do you?
Reply:"Jihad" is not a religion. Islam is however. So your entire question, premise, and argument are specious.





So much for you trying to sound smart.
Reply:What about the violent Israelis are doing to this world. Can Chinese take care of Israelis. Carter wrote in his book that Israelis are practicing apartheid against the Palestinian. So that is how Jihadists are created by Israeli violence. This country is totally ruled by the Jewish lobby and the Israeli lobby. Its paying for its support of fascist Israeli policies.


Howdig, u are totally reporting to Israelis the boss.

Reply:the Chinese will have their turns, I bet even as we type there are underground religious groups functioning at some level inside China, no one is immune
Reply:No. I have lived in China for over a year now; so, of course, I have seen a lot of Chinese soldiers. Frankly, they're pathetic. The lack of imagination and purpose (both of which would be provided by what you condemn) leaves them crippled and mindless. The thinking is more backward than you could possibly imagine. The only people I have met so far who are truly forward thinkers believe exactly as I do. A lack of justice and principle provides only a temporary and superficial fix--not a solution. Take it from someone who has seen it first-hand.
Reply:Being 'religious' does not mean one cannot defend himself and his country. The problem is not the religious, it is the 'left' who, for the most part, either do not believe or believe in weird stuff. They are the "lets talk to them" and "peace, not war". We should go after our enemy hard and ruthlessly. There is no talking to Jihadists (no it is not a religion, it comes from a religion). They have been taught from the time they can talk that they are to hate and kill. All of the Arab countries teach hate and have been for over 50 years.


I am a Christian and if it were up to me we would count to 3 -give them a chance to say 'uncle'- then blow them off the map. Just as they intend to do to us.





Give me some thumbs down if you wish, but when your women are all wearing black tents, you might remember this.
Reply:Freedom has advantages and disadvantages but the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages including freedom of religion. Religions in their purest form have nothing to do with war %26amp; violence. Imperfect humans cause all of that %26amp; because human are imperfect they will fight %26amp; go to war no matter if they are living in a communist atheist state or a free democratic religious one.


Remember even caveman, before religion was invented, had battles/wars.
