Hey /trv/, I was born in China and came to the US at age 11. Eight years later I went back to my hometown Nanjing and was walking around old temples and stuff.


And I see a Starbucks. I also realized there was a Walmart near my house. lol Globalization (which is a good thing, but just keep it out of my cultural buildings)

Fun Fact 1 about Nanjing:

The Yue Jiang Tower (The Tower that Overlooks the Yang Zi River) originally was planned o be built 300 years ago, with blueprints and everything setup. But it never got built until like a decade ago.

I'm guessing you naturalized a US citizen and thus lost Chinese nationality, would that be correct?

Then, did you have to get a visa to get into China? Also, enjoy the fake voting system there.

If you are an amerifag: Enjoy having to "choose" between 2 parties every 4 years.
If you are a britfag: Enjoy being dictated and having your taxes sucked up by the royal family
If you are an eurofag: Enjoy not being allowed to vote for the chief executive of the EU.
If you are from anywhere else: Enjoy your shit, irrelevant country.

I don't see any problem there, many countries all of which are more democratic than China work that way.

It is exactly because you dont see any problem that you are gonna have your freedom eaten away by eurobureaucrats. Also, ANY country claiming to be democratic should allow its people to chose its chief executive. No exceptions.

I am happy to inform you that there is no such thing as a chief executive of the EU.

Direct and representative democracy are both democracies.

Since when has the chief executive of EU been the head of a country?

The President of the European Commission is elected by the governments of the Member States, which in turn gained power in democratic elections.

Secondly, the appointment and the composition of the Commission must get the Parliament's approval. And yes, the Parliament does not have to give its assent as it was the case the first time the Barroso Commission was being voted in.

Besides, the Commission is not the EU chief executive, because it shares this function with the Council. The Commission only proposes laws but everything has to be approved by the Council.

Think of the Commission as the officials. They are not politicians. The people in the Council are. The people in the Commission are officials and you do not elect officials in any country. Not even in Britain.

The President of the European Commission is therefore NOT an "EU Prime Minister". This can be be said about the Foreign Minister of the country that is currently holding the Presidency. Currently it is France, but soon it will be the Czech Republic. And so it rotates.
