Writer, Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) standing committee member and Tianjin native Feng Jicai is quoted on Twitter comparing the governments of the U.S. and China:

Feng Jicai: The U.S. doesn’t have the Central Committee Organizing Department, so it has no market for political titles; no Ministry of Land and Resources, so no forced demolition; no Ministry of Railways, so no train ticket scalpers; no Ministry of Propaganda, so journalists can investigate the truth; no Ministry of Culture, so culture flourishes; no SARFT, so people can make blockbusters; no Ministry of Science and Technology, so science and tech are developed; no State Ethnic Affairs Commission, so different groups get along; no State Administration for Religious Affairs, so religion can benefit people and society.

 

Feng is the author of Ten Years of Madness: Oral Histories of China’s Cultural Revolution, The Three-Inch Golden Lotus and other stories and novels.
