  • Gn2GT | Freshman Podcast Season 1 Episode 2 | Authoritarian Rule | Linking China's Past & Present

    Gn2GT GETTING INTO GOOD TROUBLE | Freshman Podcast 
    After our Hong Kong protest episode, we became intrigued with the puzzling idea that China doesn't seem interested in compromise or even negotiation with the protestors in Hong Kong. In our effort to figure out why, we discovered a likely connection between Chinese history, specifically their history of authoritarian rule and a brief experiment with democratic ideals, and the current mindset of, "no compromise". 

    A lively discussion between the fundamental differences between communism and democracy breaks out during which a second thesis emerges: Democracy is messy but more representative of the people than other forms of government.
