I lived in China for much of the last four years. The average person dislikes the corrupt government and loves America, Americans and American products. Most Chinese involved in commerce even take English names. The Chinese government, like all governments, exists only to keep itself in power.
Now that the economy is slowing and the housing bubble is collapsing I wouldn’t be a bit surprised to see major anti-government movements as people see their life savings disappear. How things will end, I don’t have a guess. But it is certain that big changes are in store for China.

Hey, I just read this book that is very relevant to your post. I wonder if you’ve read it… It’s called The Man Who Rode the Tiger by Charles Sailor, who’s a bestselling author. It’s pretty intense, but it’s also about the Chinese government struggling to become a democracy while proving to be communists. I highly recommend it if you haven’t read it yet! It only costs a dollar on kindle right now.
