Welcome Iby! Don't worry about your English. That will get better with practice. We have an international membership here, so are patient with those still learning English (including some of our native English speakers who could use more lessons too :-p).

Mr chound,I don't like your words.
I don't want to talk about politics here,but since you ask me,I will tell you what we Chinese think.
We support our communist government.We like it.
The capitalist one is OLD CHINA,the NEW CHINA is the one now.
Although our country has many problems waiting to be solved,we believe we can solve all of them.Our government has a bright future.
Warning to every man who hope we are the second Socialist Union,that's impossible.
I am a student.
