On Chinese Democracy.
Contrary to popular opinion, surprise to many, China is the first in Asia to have some sort of Democracy. The Ism that take over the Imperial Qing China is the Three People Idealism as propose by Dr. Sun Yat Sen. Dr. Sun is inspire by Abraham Lincoln Philosophy after a private visit to America.
Indeed his Neo-Democracy is a short live one after the 1911 revolution. Very soon the Chief Warlord General Yuan took over as the Presidential with his Bei-yang Army. It is only later that a Dr Sun Successor Military General Chiang continue with some of his ideas. But the Short Live "Democratic Rule" of China ended when World War 2 broke off with the Japanese Invasion in 1937. Follow by the Civil War in 1945 after Japanese Surrender, the "Democracy" did not have a chance to make a come back.
Even in Taiwan , the Democracy system did not fully realize .Only after the late 20th Century, with a long militias rule with capitalism .
