I agree with you. Please repeat your message to other posters
who are neither Chinese or long term residents in China.

But of course we are also talking about things like salient
characteristics of
political systems.

Yes, of course it does.

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-01-10/china-s-hu-vows-stronger-fight-against-corru...

BEIJING (AP) — President Hu Jintao vowed Monday that China would take
more forceful steps to root out government corruption, which he said
remains a "grave" problem.

Hu pledged to "resolutely punish corruption with enforceable measures
and great determination," the official Xinhua News Agency reported.

Hu made his remarks during a speech at a key meeting of the Communist
Party's Central Disciplinary Commission.

Hu acknowledged that major problems remained in the efforts to build a
clean government, and warned of a "grave situation and arduous tasks."

1, Do you have data to support your claim?

2. Who is to say which government is a dictatorship or not?
Is Mubarak's government a dictatorship? According to Mubarak,
he was elected democratically. Is Hitler's government a
dictatorship? According to available data, Hitler won his post
through
democratically. Is UK really a democracy when all government
officials are "Her Majesty's Service"? Given that Americans do
not participate in the formulating of the American Constitution,
is America really a dictatorship by the dead?

You need to think independently and objectively, without objective
answers to the above, you above statement is totally meaningless,
objectively speaking.

You can use all the weasel words you want, but it doesn't change the
truth.

There is no levels of wrong doings. Corruption is bad everywhere,
whether ten thousand or a hundred thousand. It is still bad.
