The Chinese government claims that in 2011 they will spend 1.3 trillion RMB (200 billion U. S dollars) to build 100 million set apartments for low income families. In 2010 they have already built 5.9 million sets of that kind of apartments. By the end of 2015 they will finish 36 million apartments and solve 11% of the populations’ living problem.

It is said five hundred billion 500 RMB housing budget will be provided by the government and the rest of the funds will be loans from the society. In China today an apartment with one thousand square feet costs about 2.5 million RMB (three hundred eighty thousand U.S dollars). Base on their minimum salary for purchasing an apartment a Chinese has to work 100 years without any spending. Encountering this kind of situation the Chinese government has no choice but to build houses for their low income people or there will be riots. In the last thirty years they have reformed a lot in the way of going step by step.

Apparently we have different ways to make society reformed.
1) Overthrew a dictator in overnight through mass demonstrations like what happened in Egypt in February 2011. After Hosni Mubarak stepped down Egypt lost control and new violence threatens. A church was attacked by Muslims causing thirteen people to die and 140 people to be wounded. Thousands of Christians were protesting in the street for that reason. In 22 March a seven-story Interior Ministry building in central Cairo was set on fire when Egyptian policemen were demonstrating for better pay. Different kind of demonstrations are occurring in Cairo every day now. People enjoy their freedom there but still can’t get jobs and food. Their financial situation should be worse because that kind of instability will make them lose a huge income from foreign tourists.

2) Make change by creating a civil war just like what happened in Libya. In March 2011 France, Britian and the United States launched an air campaign to attack Gadhafi. They thought that was the best way to help the rable. Gadhafi meanwile gave out over one million guns to his supporters and encouraged them to kill the rable in the long-term. That kind civil war maybe lasts for years. Gadhafi did ask for negotiations and he was rejected by the rable. Obama received the Noble Prize Peace reward but did nothing to encourage talks for peace. He simplely bombed Libya without approval from the U.S Congress. Is he defending democracy? Or is he defending freedom? United Nations just agreed to set up a no-fly zone in Libya and didn’t tell them to bomb Libya. Those countries sending planes to a no-fly zone itself was breaking the rules.

3) Chinese communist party did make some changes compared with their behaviors before. However they makes things clear that they don’t let any other party take the leadership in the government. There is no doubt that they are a dictator government. Should we overthrow them because of that and how do we do it if we should?

In my opinion: No matter how bad a government was if they are willing to make some good changes we should give them chances, even though those changes happen little by little. Because improving things in a stable environment will pay less than in wars and revolution. It is not worth it to give up peace for democracy and freedom.
