Coup Rumours in China

I have a hard time feeling bad for you.  You're teaching Chinese people how to become spies and cybercriminals.  You're a bad person.

You have a hard time feeling bad for anyone, except possibly dreadnought captains.

That's not true.  What about Italian dreadnought captains?

It doesn't require a bleeding heart to be repulsed by demands for genocide.  In fact, what makes you different then those who want all Jews dead?

You can't be seriously equating jews with muslims.
How many planes have we flown into buildings, how many buses have we blown up, how many children and schools have we targeted?

You are a retard.

Enough.  Ever heard of the King David Hotel?  With one statement you say you want "all Muslims dead"(which presumably includes children, as there are Muslim children), and in the next ask how many children Jews have targeted.

How many Swedish counts have the Muslims murdered?  How many King David Hotels did they bomb?

Israel is reaping what it has sown.

Both smoother than any other one party state has managed and smoother than the previous Chinese system.

It is because of Deng.  When he appointed Jiang as his successor, he also appointed the successor to Jiang at the same time.  That guy is Hu, the current president.  Hu is about 10 years younger than Jiang.  So in one stroke, he established the 10-year rule for each generation of leaders. 

[Ed Anger]

Hu's on first.

The midget knew his shit.

Hu's decision was it to lose the Mao jackets?

They stopped wearing them after John Lennon was shot.

Deng and his generation of leaders mostly wore those jackets.  Jiang wore both Mao-style and suits.  Hu mostly wears suits.  But he still wears Mao-style, especially during military events/reviews, when he needs to appear as Chairman of the military commission.

Deng also set an important precedent in the way ousted leaders are treated.  In the Mao era, they were killed.  Deng overthrew Hua (Mao's appointed successor) to become paramount leader.  Very importantly, Hua was not physically harmed and he retained his personal freedom.  He even kept his ceremonial post in the party central committee for the next 20 years, until the 00s.  The party always made sure that he received a 100% yes vote in central committee elections (in recognition of his coup that ended the cultural revolution). 

The message is, it is ok to step down.  No need to fight to the death over it.

Its not really my bag to go on about the evils of Israeli apartheid and other bollocks but.....There has been an awful lot of that sort of thing in Palestine.

I have to admit.  I admire Deng somewhat.  He is probably the greatest Chinese statesman of the last century.  I do admire pragmatism.

China has done a very good job of handling succession.

This could be taken at face value or facetiously; I'm not sure which is meant.

The Zhao-Jiang succession was not particularly smooth.  The Jiang-Hu succession went smoothly from the perception of the outside world but there may have been a lot of infighting behind the scenes.  The present turnover is already looking a bit on the rocky side.  I also would question whether any method of government succession that systematically eliminates the input of the governed can be called "good" in any meaningful sense.

Smoother then the Soviet method.

It also avoids the Brezhnev syndrome.

You also know that he called the shots behind Tinanmen, right?

It should be his face on the money, not Mao's.

Name one Chinese leader that never massacred anyone.
