I was just thinking a bit ago, why are the two biggest democratic powers, the US and the EU, so friendly with China. I mean of course trade and interests and what not, but isn't it a bit hypocritical of these two to have such relations with China. One on side they preach about democracy and how the countries in the middle east should reform to democracy and about the consolidation of democracy on other developing countries, and on the other side they grin and grimace with the friendly-looking chinese goverment delegation. I mean in China there has still no political freedom if i'm not mistaken, there are still communist elements, the country is still run by the communist party. What kind of example does this set? I think this type of behaviour totally undermines anyone's basis to make such exlacamations as the rule of democracy and what not. Well just pondering..............
