So you think those painful experience you had before is not caused by this government, but by someone else. Now China is making progress doesn't mean this government had no fault in the past. It's correcting its fault by its previous leader. To understand its past problem is for going forward.
We all like China to be strong, but it doesn't mean that we shouldn't think about the past. On the other side, a strong country doesn't mean it should only have nuclear power, it means it respect its people, it means ordinary people has the equal right. That could make it has a sustainable progress, not just for a short period. I feel many of us are pretty narrow minded in this aspect. So you would think IRAQ and North Korea will be strong countries if they have nuclear weapon, yes for sure American won't dare to invaed them, but how about their people, are they better off just because they have nuclear weapon. Remember when you have those miserable expereince, China already has nuclear weapon.
I am not trying to say China shouldn't be strong. I am trying to say that building a good society is far more important than having some nuclear weapons. A strong China today is only strong at having some nuclear weapons, or having a better economic, it has a long way to go before it become a real strong country in all aspects. That is someday when you won't see any miserable life in the countryside, when you see people respect each other, when you see all kids are well educated.
