news.yahoo.com — BEIJING ? The official Chinese translation of President Barack Obama's inauguration speech was missing his references to communism and dissent, while a live broadcast on state television Wednesday quickly cut away to the anchor when the topic was mentioned.

Again, not accurate. People on this list describe the Chinese as if they were completely devoid of rational thought. The Chinese are suspicious of their own government as well, perhaps more so. They don't need to know the specific details of Tiananmen protests (not riots) to know that something happened, or generally that there is corruption in Beijing that often leads to unnecessary violence.Do you really think the Chinese are so blind to their own flaws?! Think again.

The Bushies support corporate individualism. That is not the same thing as collectivism. Corporate personhood is individualism to the extreme.

Woah, easy buddy - you completely misunderstood my comment. Your original point was that the Chinese people are offended by hearing Americans use the word "Communism". My point is that this word is in the name of the ruling Chinese Political party, so if Chinese people are offended by it then maybe they should think about changing the name. I don't give a s**t what American's think about it and I never said I did. "Would America change its name or political systems because if other countries started calling Americans capitalist pigs."Just so you know, we're not the "Capitalist States of America", and I never said China should change it's political system. In fact-you were the one who said that China wasn't actually Communist anymore: "the party is communist in name only". If they're not communist anymore, then why keep the name around - especially if they're going to get offended and censor it every time a foreigner uses the word?

@ Rynsa - actually I was talking about all of your asses collectively - rather than your individual asses. Hence - talking out of your 'ass' - meaning all of them together as one. ;)
