China is still obviously a long way behind the Western type of democracy we all enjoy. They are making significant progress towards a market economy however. This is required before democracy can succed as such.
There have been attempts in the past in China to radically alter the economy and these have for the most part ended in widespread starvation and disaster. Therefore radically altering the economy to a market system overnight is politically as well as economically impossible. The huge unemployment and rapid inflation that often accompanies the dismantling of planned economies is something that has to be managed over time. A lot of time.
Opposition parties do exist and have been recognised by the government as far as I know. These include Falungong and the Chinese Democracy Party.
So while China has an image of chronically poor human rights and oppression that may have been true from 1960 - 1990, much progress has been made, and there remains a huge amount more to be done of course. --------------------------------------------------

Originally by: Hanns orly, sounds crazy, looks like if CCP really get this eve china to work they will forget about us, they alread yhave 50k users trying to log in on the alpha thats over double what we have on peak times.
its where the money is i guess.
You are misinformed, CCP is staying Non-chinese based, they hired another company to run the servers, who will be doing the updating, not CCP.
Cut the political crap, don't get this thread locked.

so are you sat behind the chinese firewall or something or did you not see what i wrtoe
are you saying all of the things i said about living in china were untruee? and that really they have the choice to choose a different form of government without fear of retaliation?
cos thats what you started the arguement over so common say im wrong. say that tienamen square didnt happen tell me the names of the opposition parties show me the bloggers that can post all they like until yahoo gives thier detaisl to china.
and guess what mate we can actually talk about this and have a good old debate about our different issues and even though we dont agree im not going to throw you in jail or tortue you. how many chinese would love to have the oppurtunity we have
I find it highly ironic that you, an American (I assume) are talking about another country throwing people in jail and torturing them.
Currently, I see little difference between America and China in terms of rights compared to what existed decades ago. China is more restrictive, but moving towards less restrictions, and America is less restrictive, while moving towards more restrictions.
In other words, in 20 years, China will be effectively free, and America will be a fasicst police state, at the rate things are currently going. Its times like these that make me ashamed to live here.
BOTH of my parents were China experts, so I basically spent the first 18 years of my life learning about Chinese policy. And considering that for nearly 2 years they ran a Chinese Wikipedia, and they are currently considering loosening or even shutting down the firewall, it is extremely ignorant to look at China like you have. Maybe 30 years ago, during the Cultural Revolution, you would have been considerably more accurate.
Now cut the political crap.

What he said, including all his previous posts. I'm American, and what he speaks is the truth.
Look past the facade and see reality, then come back here and talk. Do some research, ask around, take a neutral view until you know all the facts and know them well. Assumptions are bad, and almost everything you (StiZum) said was either an assumption or an ignorant statement.
Different does not = bad. And just because you don't see or know of change doesn't mean it's not there. Don't believe everything you hear just because you want to believe it's true.

political discussions are not right for this forum, but the implication that china is free is not right. even google knows. compare this and this
however, china is getting better, its just not there yet (and it will take a long way)
i don't think CCP sold out as such, they are just trying to market their product to a bigger audience (which every good business attempts) As for the idea that TQ will become a secondary concern with a large serenity, i doubt that. none of the devs speak chinese

because most of the populations of every international english-language forum in the world are americans?

seriously, more players (even if their on a different server) will mean more money for CCP.
More money for CCP means more content / faster servers.
Thus good??

im personally ashamed of ccp for selling out.
we here play the game with relative freedom because of the countries we belong to.
everytime our western companies change the way they work to go to china they are giving the chinese ****s in the red party legitamesy .
Why aren't they legitimate?
Do they not have the right to choose a different form of government than us?
How arrogant of you. Now stop trying to turn this thread into a political flamewar.
ok you may be a forum warrior and i dont have the time to keep up with you but im not arrogant and tbh you seem anaware
they dont have the right to choose thats the point!!! you retard they arent even allowed to look up different ideas about how their country is ruled cos guess what thats out lawed and you go to prison to belong to a different political party gets you in jail to say out loud you think your government isnt doing the right thing guess what gets you in jail to protest against your government guess what GETS YOU SHOT to look up info about tibet is banned and could get you in jjail to belong to a religion that isnt allowed by their government gets you in jail.
my point is mr dark idiot they dont have the choice and by bringing this game to china we are saying that we are fine with how they treat their people.
you sir disgust me
oh and btw to relate it to the topic lol at so many people wanting to play eve i just hope they are allowed to choose to be a gallante and dont get put in prison for having a corp vote on something
How is supplying them with entertainment say we agree with their type of government? Would you also potest against us supplying toilet paper? Pillows? Candles? That would just make the situation WORSE not BETTER.
I agree with shikari on all accounts. ---------------------------

shame on you ccp shame on google shame on all western companies
It's a shame, just look at HOW the Chinese are forced to play: They're time-limited to something like three hours of gaming at a time.
I just hope that CCP will use the money they get from the Chinese server to make a better game for us. -------- Tom Thumb > for a nut case you rawk [04:21:15] Mebrithiel Ju'wien > Nik's bio 4tw btw [07:38:53] Graelyn > Nikolai for Dev 108!

The Chinese didn't choose their government. There are no elections. It's called totalitarianism, and it IS a violation of basic freedoms.
Now, your statements that they are improving are TRUE, but they still lack many basic freedoms, both economically, socially, and legally. -------- Tom Thumb > for a nut case you rawk [04:21:15] Mebrithiel Ju'wien > Nik's bio 4tw btw [07:38:53] Graelyn > Nikolai for Dev 108!

Looks like CCP was correct in their analysis of the chinese eve market.

uh, no they aren't. that was a law that was proposed and very widely reported in the western world. then the government of china decided not to pass it, and the media didn't care about that - it wasn't such as good story

Originally by: StiZum Hilidii total bullcrap
Your post is incredibly misinformed. I'd suggest you do some research on the topic before you flame a company simply because they sell to people in a country that happens to have a type of government you don't agree with.
Tons of Chinese companies sell to America even though to them democracy is an imperialist, corrupt governmental system. Why should it be any different the other way around?
Either you're brainwshed, clueless or just out to purposefully **** people off. Do YOU support what the chinese regime is doing? If yes, then there is something wrong with you...since you then dislike democracy and the right to think and express ones opinions freely. Wow...and here I was thinking you were a pretty funny and decent guy. guess not.
