Angelo Giuliano 🇨🇭🇮🇹(@angeloinchina):"You are trying to apply the American values and the American political system to the whole world. But that is not very wise." Jiang Zemin to Mike Wallace, 60 Minutes, 2000. Wallace asks why China needs a one-party state : > "why must we have opposition parties" > "each country should have its own system because our countries have different cultures and historic traditions" And the line that still sums up 25 years of US policy : > "you Americans always use your values in making judgments about the political situation in other countries" Since then : Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan. How did exporting the model go ?
