China Newspaper: Rise Of 'Racist' Trump Shows Democracy Is Scary

[Lakhota]

Mussolini and Hitler came to power through elections, China’s Global Times reminded readers Monday. Now an “abusively racist and extremist” candidate is on the rise in the United States, it says. Maybe democracy isn’t such a good idea after all.

In an editorial Monday, China’s state-owned Global Times newspaper used Donald Trump’s rise to gloat about the fault lines in U.S. society and to argue that democracy was both a waste of time -- and downright scary.

From the rise of a “narcissistic and inflammatory candidate” to the violence that surrounded his planned rally in Chicago, the paper said it was shocking this could happen in a country that “boasts one of the most developed and mature democratic election systems” in the world.

China is and has always been an unabashedly racist country, just like the rest of Asia.

But of course "racism" is only wrong when white people do it...

China will soon be a greater financial and military superpower than America.

I guess you have given up on non-white fascism and racism then....

You should move there, need help?

They have many upopulated cities that have been built and never inhabited.

Great model.

If the people's republick of China hates a particular American political candidate doesn't it validate the candidate's position? I expect China loves the old commie and Hillary.

did you see the picture of hillary kissing that KKK guy ?

 

[WillMunny]

If you're looking to a bloodbath like China for advice & moral guidance, you dumb, whiny, alcoholic Injun, that automatically proves what a completely amoral psychopath you are. Why don't you take your crybaby, sniveling historical grudge against whites and stick it into your man-gina at a painful angle? Now go dive back into your bottle. Your silly race never even invented a WRITTEN ALPHABET!

Get back to me when Trump institutes plans that will kill about 10% of the nation's population off through famine and just shrugs it off as the cost of doing business like Mao and his Great Leap Forward did.

A xenophobe and racist is still preferable to a Communist.

Not Hitler, and it's why we are not a democracy. Terrible things.

And yet China defends it's border lol.

Trump is George Wallace on steroids.

It may seem odd to link a Manhattan billionaire to a dirt-farm Alabama governor, but their messages are roughly the same -- just delivered more than four decades apart.

Like the late George Wallace, Trump exudes a sneering hatred for political establishments and blames the ills of the county on those whose race, faith or origin makes them somehow “un-American.”

Wallace softened somewhat in later years, but Trump, at 69, shows no signs of doing so. Indeed, he is doubling down on his willingness to allow verbal and even physical antagonism in his name and at his campaign rallies.

Indeed, it's his rallies -- more than Trump's tweets or called-in TV interviews -- that have become the central feature of his campaign, a theater of deliberate confrontation that he thinks adds energy and meaning to his angry candidacy.

Trump has far more clout and money in a system that's more fragmented and easier to penetrate. Far from being a fringe character -- which is what, in the end, Wallace was -- Trump is the party front-runner.

We survived George Wallace - but can we survive Trump? Maybe China has a point.

China is and has always been an unabashedly racist country......

Like every other country?

James Madison might agree with the whole "Democracy is scary" thing.

Gee, they even have a really great wall.

Maybe we should use Chinese examples. After all, Obama took a page from the Red Guard playbook when he set up an email address so Americans could rat out their fellow citizens if they didn't toe the party line about how awesome Obamacare was going to be.

If we keep building it and impoverish our country, then yes. Also, Asia is not easily infiltrated by Global Elitists for obvious reasons.
