China advocating more democracy and accountability than SGP
-
In his effort to modernise China, Deng Xiao Ping advocated the simple political guiding principle that - “It doesn't matter if a cat is black or white, so long as it catches mice.”.
It was reported that ''Deng Xiao Ping was inspired by Singapore when in 1978, he led China on the path of capitalism. The success of business in China, despite the absence of any political opening inBeijing, reinforces the Singaporean leaders' conviction that their recipe is the right one.
Their {Singapore's} model, which is not overburdened with democratic precepts and the defence of humans rights, arouses growing interest in Africa, in the Middle-East and in the Maghreb.''
Now that China has excelled and even surpassed Singapore within only a short span of 30 years, China has new found political courage to re-invent itself, its political thinking, and is now experimenting with a more 'PARTICIPATORY MULTI-PARTY SYSTEM'.
Greatness is not only found in material gains and wealth, China is showing that it take more than these material attributes to make a country great.
In 1978, China has humbled itself to learn from tiny Singapore.
Is Singapore too big to learn from China present political confidence ?

Special Report: 17th CPC National Congress
The Information Office of the State Council has just issued the country's first ever white paper on its political party system.
China's political party system is one of multi-party cooperation and political consultation under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, or CPC. The white paper introduces in detail the formation, main characteristics, basic contents and development of the system. The system has unique political advantages and plays an irreplaceable role in political and social life.
The system is well suited to China and adapted to the reality of the country's revolution, construction and reform. It is also very suited to the essential demands of socialist democracy. The system reflects Chinese cultural traditions which stress maintaining harmony while respecting diversity.
The multi-party cooperation system is a new and unique type of political party system.
The CPC holds the leading and ruling position. And the eight democratic parties participate in and deliberate on state affairs. The CPC and the democratic parties work closely together and supervise each other. This system is in accordance with the system of people's congresses to ensure the people are the master of the state.
China's multi-party cooperation system has a unique structure, functions as well as operational mechanism. It guarantees the full exercise of the people's democratic rights.
One major feature of China's socialist democracy is the combination of democratic election and democratic consultation.
The value and function of the multi-party cooperation system are manifested as political participation, expression of interests, social integration and democratic supervision...as well as maintenance of stability.
Political consultation is a major aspect of the multi-party cooperation system. The CPC consults with the various democratic parties and political figures without party affiliation on major state issues... before making decisions and in the process of implementing the decisions.
Since 1990, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council have organized over 230 consultation conferences, seminars and briefings. They have received over 200 important written proposals covering a wide range of subjects...from the central committee of democratic parties.
The National People's Congress is the organ through which the Chinese people exercise state power; it is also an important place where the roles of the democratic party members are brought into play.
A key part of the multi-party cooperation system under the leadership of the CPC -- is that democratic party members take leadership positions in government and judicial organs.
The State Council and government at all levels are opening up new channels for them to participate in and discuss state affairs.
The Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference is an important institution for multi-party cooperation and political consultation under the leadership of the CPC, and a major form of socialist democracy in China. Members of democratic parties are important constituent parts of the CPPCC.
The major roles of CPPCC members from democratic parties: to participate actively in political consultation, exercise democratic supervision and discuss state affairs.
All democratic parties continue to promote development as the first priority. They carry out investigations and surveys on important issues and then make constructive proposals.
With the advantage of a high concentration of talented members, all democratic parties hold activities to promote development.
All the democratic parties make full use of their important role as coordinators and problem solvers to do a good job of reporting social conditions and public opinions.
By making full use of their rich resources of contacts, all democratic parties have made active efforts to expand exchanges and to bring foreign capital, technology, expertise and management experience to China.

It is simple petty politics that is revealed in the present shameful debate that Mah Bow Tan is having in with-holding funds to Low and Chiam for upgrading the constituencies held by Alternative Parties.
With China - having over a billion population and wider expanse of land - can find the political courage and confidence to experiment with democratic participation, is there any excuse for this Singapore Ruling Party in continuing with its arrogant elitist policy of governing Singapore exclusively under the guidance of the POWER OF ONE ? -
Cut to the chase, your point being?

It is good to see that China is advocating more democracy and accountability.
However, advocating is one thing, action is another. We need to see if China really do what it preach.
But seriously we need more accountability in Singapore, especially for government linked companies like Temasek Holding. They are using Singaporeans tax money, but they dare to say is government money.
Where does government money come from? Every Singaporean. We have every right to know more about these companies. -

Anyway, it is to remind the crap sniffer that it is from LHL haemorhoids, which explains for his peculiar walking gait that affects his ability to guide political change in Singapore, as much as he wish to make it more open and participatory. -

China can do it because unlike some people, they do not have designs on the public money and aiming to build political dynasty... with self interests, the nation's interests take a back seat...

In the end... Dr Chee is correct... they will not do it unless the international community gives them some pressure...

Yes, it is wonderful to see China having the political confidence to change its political thinking, to find a new political model to face the global challenge.Originally posted by Spartans:It is good to see that China is advocating more democracy and accountability.

Marxism and Communism has been proven dead, and it is useless to carry on the semblence of the 'sickle and hammer' symbols that does not feed the people.
It is the sum total of the talent from all the citizens that is needed to make a country strong, and not to have power stuck in the hands of a cult of elitist - that easily can steer a country off-course.
With more then a billion people and a vast land mass, China will face far more challenges in implementing this political change, and with the evidence of the dramatic changes since Deng Xiao Ping's modernisation vision for China - this political change will prove to be as dramatic as Deng Xiao Ping's vision thirty years ago.
China is shooting to place a man on the moon in another twenty years, it can only do so with the combine efforts of all talents from with different political beliefs and ideologies working for the benefit of the country.
Can one person's political beliefs be more superior than another ?
This can only happen in Singapore. -
I have my displeasure with the Government too. But sometimes I feel that your views are too extreme.Originally posted by AndrewPKYap:In the end... Dr Chee is correct... they will not do it unless the international community gives them some pressure...
There are both good and bad sides of our government (or shd I call it Lee Empire). -
Excuse me, did you just wake up from having your daily fix ?Originally posted by the Bear:damn.. Atobe has shared his crack with andyboy!
It is coming to winter, time for you to hibernate, and remember to wake up during Spring.
By then, look around while others have marched ahead of you. -

Poke your nose deeper into the pile, and sniff harder as you may get into the depth of your favorite pile of crap.
If you cannot distinguish the differences, it simply confirms that you are only good at sniffing and not knowing how to discern beyond the colors.
Can we believe your boastful claims of being an expert at sniffing at the crap from others ? -
let's see.. if you wrote the same shit as you are writing here in PRC, you'd be facing the firing squad or in some kinda gulag...
wow.. democracy and accountability at work! -
