An election with only ONE candidate on the ballot means anyone going to the booths is not voting secretly. Don't be surprised if you see people taking notes of who goes to the polls on election day. This is also why the government should really be running primaries even if they aren't official elections the way the real elections are.<br /><br />I haven't heard anybody talk about this aspect actually in Chinese language media.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-92171564871868898272009-07-14T13:14:35.481+08:002009-07-14T13:14:35.481+08:00Eyedoc, your site is awesome, and I really enjoy i...Eyedoc, your site is awesome, and I really enjoy it.

On the other, it is really bad for the Uighurs. Al Qaeda is simply helping the Chinese validate their position that Uighurs are terrorists.Tommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13552370490869601403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-8861813195790570812009-07-14T06:23:06.323+08:002009-07-14T06:23:06.323+08:00I was wondering why all of a sudden a surge in tra...I was wondering why all of a sudden a surge in traffic to my site.

What a concept!SYnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-45438117077581028282009-07-13T20:08:02.520+08:002009-07-13T20:08:02.520+08:00You can see the future elections will continue to ...You can see the future elections will continue to be a referendum on corruption as long as Chen Shui-bian remains the hot topic in the news.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
