    “The Great Hall of the People” Or maybe more aptly called The Great Hall of the CCP.

    The Western media caricature of this place is very cold and harsh. It’s a place full of real people after all. The video is very striking for me. China Daily has put some warmth into the place.

    Actually I got the opposite feeling. While the production value was high in the video, all I could think of was the corruption, Princeling scandals, and disconnected bureaucrats.

    I actually have the same view when looking at Capital Hill.

    No argument here. Government sucks at both superpowers.
