1911

Chinese government paying respect to Sun

Xinhai Revolution

So i just came back from the cinema watching jackie chan's 100th movie and is having the 'kick' to write about the chinese revolution.There's not even a slightest doubt that China's few thousand years of history is one of the best throughout the whole world.One of favourites is the 1911 Revolution.The reason that triggered the revolution was largely due to a corrupted Qing government, and the fact that the Han Chinese (which comprised 90% of the population) where resentful towards a government dominated by the Manchus (who were an ethnic minority). Besides that, the people were extremely pissed off and frustrated with the government's incapablitiy to stand up and restrain the interventions of Japan particularly the Westerners.The Qing government was borrowing a substantial amount of money from banks in Europe at the people's expense.Worse still, they are using the money againts them.Qing government bought weapons using taxpayers payer money and fought against the rebels that were led by revolutionaries.A large increase in population, people paying high taxes to powerful dictators, people out of work, a country totally out of touch,lots of torturing and depression and most of all, a nation living under a greedy dictator. This civil unrest, encouraged by the revolutionary and political ideas of Sun Yat-sen, who was apparently a chinese doctor, led to a desire to abolish the Qing dynasty and form a republic.In a republic government, there will not be any kings or emperors, and the country will be led by a president together with his ministers in cabinet.Singapore, France , Russia etc are examples of republic country presently.Do you believe that there is democracy in royalties?
