The Constitution of the PRC, dated 1982, is posted at:
Oooo, 1982, over 20 years old. Do you have something more current, like
the article I posted that talked about China's real property rights
amendments in 2004 and 2005?
Read the damned document.
The most recent amendment is dated:
"AMENDMENT FOURTH
(Approved on March 14, 2004, by the 10th NPC at its 2nd Session)".
A mere 50 some years ago blacks didn't have civil rights in America per
our constitution. Also, didn't our own constitution, with public
relations niceties stripped away, actually said only white men are
equal (not even women), and God gave us the rights to steal land from
the Native Americans? (recalling the atrocities we committed with
constitutional authority, during Manifest Destiny period)
Actually, blacks have had rights ever since the beginnings of the USA.
Especially in the Northern States, where voting, property ownership,
marriage, schooling, free market employment were commonplace. Most of the
issues regarding African-Americans were due to religion-based racism, and
irrational fears by individuals. The Constitution was not supported in the
defense of individual rights by those people. Fortunately, we are all now
able to enjoy more liberty than before in that respect.
That has nothing to do with the current realities of the control of the PRC
State over individuals. The PRC State has absolute power over the
individual, and that has been standard Marxist Socialist policy ever since
the beginning of Soviet style Communism.
The State exercises total "lawful" control of the "rights" of individuals.
"Rights" in the PRC are priveledges accorded by and controlled and
regulated by the State. They are not rights, the principles of which, we
Americans agree or implicitly agree upon. We are free the individual in the
PRC is merely accorded temporary arbitrary priveledges.
That has nothing whatsoever to do with the wrongs done in other nations, or
the USA.
If you want to compare atrocities and deaths caused by the States of the
PRC, or even the USSR, to similar problems in the USA, you have to speak in
terms of mass killings on the order of many _tens of millions_ of persons
by the Communists. Millions of Kulaks were wiped out by State imposed
starvation, just to name one example. The USSR put the Nazis to shame
insofar as mass killings, and PRC was many times worse, and more ruthless,
than the USSR.
The numbers of wrongful deaths on the USA account would be small by
comparison, and probably in the order of hundreds during the same time
period. There, for example, we are talking individual capital punishments
by the State of Texas, and no mass killings.
Oh sure, our constitution have evolved - well so have theirs.
The PRC is indeed going to be changing.
A civil war is one of the most dangerous possibilities that we can foresee.
In the mean time the PRC is ripping off our technology, designs, and
patents at a furious pace, and our USA Administration is taking a morally
passive view of all that.
The firms, e.g., Paslode, will have turned over the CAD files of its
factory, tooling, fixtures, and engineering and product designs to the PRC
private label custom manufacturers. Copies of its business software and
business model may have also been given away. Paslode may have created its
own worst future business competitor, the PRC.
IBM's high speed computer hard disk drive manufacturing unit was losing
money in spite of so called cheap Chinese labor. They were competing
against other Chinese sources. IBM's PC computer business was also losing
money. Guess who owns those businesses now. The PRC. That's as pure an
example of classic Marxist acquisition of western technology and businesses
as can be given. That is pure skillfully executed Communist policy.
