If any of my Chinese friends are not too busy surfing the Internet for anti-Chinese slights or trying to harangue Free-Tibeters, they may be interested in following the U.S. presidential election. Just now, they have had a presidential primary in the state of Pennsylvania. It looks like Hilary Clinton will win. What does it mean? You can go to this site to see many takes on it, a wide range of opinions as it were. American democracy you have to love it. And as a Canadian, I do.
Will there ever be Democracy in China? I wish to see it come here. I think it would be a wonderful thing to see the Chinese put their incredible energy into elections. I sense in the Chinese reaction to the Torch rally controversy a civic and political urge that normally is not allowed to be expressed.
Back to the Pennsylvania. Hilary still has a chance to get the nomination from Obama but it is a small one. Still, her eight point victory tonight doesn't hurt.
