    Chinese Communism: Joyously celebrating sixty years of slaughter, terror, and subjugation, starvation, indoctrination, destroying people’s hopes and dreams, and making them wear little Mao suits.

    @Flathead Smith Prefers the Days of Danger:
    Oh yeah so my point is, yeah most Chinese people would actually rather celebrate even the worst times under the commies than the years before that. Pretty much everyone in China is still sad about the crappy stuff that happened, it's not like people actually liked the cultural revolution, but on the whole they just think of it as what got them to this point where the last thing they're afraid of is the Japanese.

    @tekdemon: The Chinese population is still not free. The destruction by others in the past against China is inexcusable, but the Chinese communist were even worse, with an estimated 75 million dead (possibly even 100 million). There are still around seven million people that are thought to be in the secretive Laogai prison system, and a very high percentage of that population is there simply because of political or religious beliefs.

    England did an excellent job administering Hong Kong, even better, by an order of magnitude, than with its own country, with an almost Laissez-faire economic model.

    @YankBoffin: Actually, I'm now quite sure it is this FAW Hongqi "Rolls Fighter" with a different front clip. I must say the Prez version is a huge improvement over the original in looks.

    @YankBoffin: I agree with you. Looks like they wanted to keep the same Hongqi front styling that's been used since the beginning of the 1960s. And I agree it looks better for it.

    @tonyola: They were trying to pay homage to the original 1958, since it was the first car ever, ever, ever, made by the Chinese. And since it's the 60th anniversary it makes more sense to try and harken back to that early achievement than to mention the dark days of Audi rebranding.

    @tekdemon: The 1958 Hongqi was originally intended to look like this. Fortunately someone (Mao?) ordered a restyle.
