*Sigh*. I understand you, BabyBaby (I like this name :D) ! There is surely a lot of corruption and political and social ills, big or small; the nice thing is that the information age makes the problems much more difficult to cover up, and even those who reside within the borders, given the anonynomity of the virtual environment, are all too happy to explore and discuss them.

Changes in attitude, in politics cannot happen overnight, unless it is the overthrowing of a regime; given the Communists continue to the ruling party, they will never go ahead and denounce their ways (just like Japan never denounced their own wrong doings of WWII because the same dynasty is ruling) - they are going for a transition, which will end up infiltrating into the politics of the country no matter the government wants to see it happen or not. So we will watch and see ... and hope that whatever comes to play will not end in bloodshed, which there is always too much in the world.

I think other countries can do much more to encourage good developments than to keep trying find faults and denounce the country. China is desperate to improve their national image in the world - she's rather like a child in international politics; I'd make use to this and coax her :) ... and also, learn about its culture, its people; those are really what defines a country, not the governance, which is subjected to change all the time. :)
