[quote=SANYACHINA,231509]Well, let us see:

"1: I'm sorry, but you're statement could easily have been interpreted as racist."

No, impossible. A CULTURAL DISCOURSE can not be interpreted like this.
 And also - in my profile you can see that I am a Communist, so the Hitlerist's, KKK's and Skinhead's theories are far away from me. 
 My two grandfathers were good fighters against the axis Rome-Berlin-Tokyo. And I am talking often against the Skinheads here, so no one can interprete me like a racist.

"2: Racism does not have to be directed at one "race" to be racist. Most racists I know hate everybody who is of a different "race" from them."

You don't know me. And I am a scientist (master degrei in philosophy). My major is Anthropological Philosophy, so I know very good this matter and it is impossible to be such an uneducated one like this your well-known guys.

"3: Casting aspersions on my knowledge of any language is not a valid debating tactic."

Yes, when have no enough argumentums, plese do not use "racism", because the clever people here know the RIGHT definition of this and know my love to the Chinese Communist Party, so it is not succesful tactics.

"4: Moving on: Why compare China with developed countries? China is not a developed country, China's education system is still quite poorly developed and many Chinese children still do not have access to education. And many of those who do have access to education only have access to very poor education. This is why China's literacy rate is still "only" in the region of 85%. "

You mean FYR-Macedonia is a developed country?! No, it is not.

"Let's compare Hong Kong and Taiwan with developed countries, since they are the most developed regions of China: All of a sudden we see comparable literacy rates. How could this be? Hong Kong and Taiwan still use traditional characters! Clearly literacy rates have more to do with access to and quality of education than the complexity of the writing system."

NO PROBLEM!
From the CIA Factbook:
TAIWAN
Literacy:	  
definition: age 15 and over can read and write 
total population: 96.1%

And now some not so developed countries, BUT WITH DEVEOPED ALPHABETS:

AZERBAIJAN (Former Soviet Union):
Literacy:	  
definition: age 15 and over can read and write 
total population: 98.8%
MOLDOVA (former Soviet Union)
definition: age 15 and over can read and write 
total population: 99.1%
MONGOLIA
definition: age 15 and over can read and write 
total population: 97.8%

To be continued...
