It happens rarely. But every once in a while, during a 60 Minutes interview, someone will drop a bomb into the conversation and say something that shocks even our veteran correspondents. That happened to Lesley Stahl in this week's interview with a Chinese billionaire named Zhang Xin.
When Lesley and her producer Shachar Bar-On went to China to meet Xin, they thought it was an assignment to profile a rich and famous real estate mogul. Instead, they got a surprise: Xin (pronounced shin) took the interview to a place they couldn't have predicted. Why would a woman who has everything to lose risk angering the Chinese government with a few remarks on American television? It certainly wasn't the result the of a "gotcha question."

"What she said was not really responding to a question I asked, so it just bubbled up from within her," Lesley told us.

What Xin said was that the Chinese people feel a great longing for democracy, and she predicted that democracy would come to China in less than 20 years. For most Americans, it's difficult to grasp what a shocking statement this is for the Chinese, especially when delivered in an interview with the Western media.

"I mean, the story was about real estate-- she didn't have to go there," says Lesley's producer Shachar. "We asked, 'Are you OK? Is this fine?' and she said, 'You know 60 Minutes doesn't come often to China, and I think Americans should know this. And I'm just gonna say it.'"

To her Xin's full remarks on democracy in China and to read her social media posts on the topic, watch the above 60 Minutes Overtime feature.

We already have democracy. One man one vote.
Just because your party lost does not mean we don't have democracy.

Well, then China has democracy then, based on your standard.

Today one man one vote, yesteryears CPF can be drawn at 55, chui kong lam par song.
 
Singaporeans crave for money; democracy is secondary.

We are also stupid enough to give up our liberty for safety. Dumb ass.
 
We even have a section 55.

Serve like a SS to Nazi?

Work like East Factory in Qing Dynasty.

Sinkies crave for eternal slavery under 超级白.
Sinkies crave for sky high COE and unaffordable car prices.
Sinkies crave to pay for a pigeon hole because prices are driven up by 超级白 pets.
Sinkies crave to masterbate on their CPF statement because that is the only thing they hold on to but will never get due to the ever changing minimum sum and also because there isn't much left after all the 'investments' by Mr Ho.
Sinkies boys crave to waste 2 years of their fucking life and 10years more protecting the 超级白 and their pets while their jobs and women gets taken away.

Feel free to add on.
 
Big difference between China's and Singapore's authoritarian regimes - China has more freedom of expression than Singapore.

However at the end of the day it's the people, PRCs have balls to demand for their rights, sinkies no balls for anything, this is the hard truth.

If what we are having now is considered democracy, then it's thanks, but no thanks!

Frankly I no longer care whether we are a democracy or a communist country. What's good about a fake democracy where most of us are nothing but little cogs in the economy working for the benefit of a privileged few? What good is this democracy where your dreams and aspirations are chucked aside and you are told to adjust your expectations?

What good is this brand of fake democracy where 40% of the people's voice are not represented fully in our Parliament? What good is this brand of fake democracy where an obviously bad policy get passed by majority in the parliament? And if WP had not won a GRC in the last GE, they wouldn't even be able to call for a division to have each MP's vote recorded?

If this is democracy, I say :oIo: it!
 
We are a absolute monarchy disguised as democracy.
Those who still cannot see are truly blind.
We need a revolution to topple the dynasty.

Chinese people can demand for this and that rights in China. most types of dissents will be tolerated by the authorities. the two things that won't be tolerated are people to openly challenge the legitimacy of CCP one-party rule of China and CCP rewriting and distorting the history of 20th century China. Chinese dissidents who did this two things would eventually end up getting persecuted by the authorities and they might have to flee the country.
