The superpower China is also gearing for a leadership change. It is reported that at their party convention which begins on November 8, 2012, both incumbent Chinese President Hu Jintao and Prime Minister Wen Jiabao are to make way for Xi Jinping and Li Reqiang, respectively. Although the international media’s focus on the impending Chinese leadership change is minimal compared to US Presidential election results and its related affairs, the changes at the helm in China may lead to significant changes in many spheres of the globe.

Russia was, is and always will be a partner of India. 30 billion dollar agreement will be signed only for the Fifth generation Stealth fighter, many projects are already in the process of completion, and many are in the line.

China is just a disaster waiting to happen. Like the Soviet Union. It’s hardly a superpower. It has one of the lowest per-capita GDP in the world.

And you continue to dream of a war to settle scores, I presume? While you are at that, you also seem to disregard that peace could be an alternative?

China is a miracle country and a future super power. The system of election/ selection works well for this country. It is a combination of consensus and wisdom. This is what it should be. Perhaps we in Pakistan should learn a lesson and adopt this system. We will certainly prosper more rapidly.

In contrast we have seen a flawed and showbiz electoral system of elections of candidates and selection of presidents. Western democratic system is flawed and promotes corruption and mediocre leadership.

The writer never really has been to China and know nothing of what the people think. The government invested 350M dollars in Sichuan province alone, how the government responded to Sichuan earthquake, I have seen with my own eyes. Secondly US is not a democracy you just had to follow the primaries to ascertain that. The two candidates on the ballot are also vetted and groomed not by the electoral but by the globalist. Study a bit more about geopolitics, history and finance before churning out these articles. Lastly in Islam there is no concept of democracy, so either you are with islam or against and also there is no such term as moderate in islam.

Society changes based on their politics. Democracy have the past record and still is the best form of governance that influence change in society with the freedom of speech and expression, and that implies to Pakistan also. But can’t say the same thing with China, only time can tell.

The process of people exercising their free-will and the resulting outcomes are always romanticized than a bland, deterministic outcome of an autocratic exercise.
