It doesn't matter what your politics are . . .

I admire Liu Xiaobo's courage.  However, we need to remember what happened to 苏联。 We Chinese all want Chinese nation is properous and powerful.  We need a strong central government (be it CCP or other party).  Otherwise, China will become yesterday's 苏联.  Tibet, Xinjiang/qinghai, Taiwan,Inner Mongolia, Guangxi, and heck, Dongbei will all become independent nations.  Is that what we really want?
