China should become a Federal Republic.

My opponent and me have agreed on a few things in the comments.- China will follow the US and Korean Three Branch system.(House,Executive,Senate)- China will follow the US system of federalism, where each state governs itself, while being overseen by a federal government who enacts rules for all states.http://www.youtube.com...Argument 1: Large Administration - The new Chinese Democratic Government is faced with a problem. They are administering over 1,350,000 people, with hundreds of various cultures. Surely any law passed will offend somebody? The only solution is to divide China into states, and let them govern themselves. Overseen by the central government, they now have developed a harmonious system of rule. --------------------------------------------------------------- Argument 2: Cultural and Ethnic division of China- China is full of different cultures, religions, and ethnic groups. With 56 ethnicity's, 6 major religions, and hundreds of cultures. How can you possibly respect everyones customs and heritage in the new republic? Once again, you need to let them govern themselves. Or else, it will be impossible to recover from the political turmoil. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------Argument 3: The autonomy solution does not work- First, I would like to state that communism is incompatible with federalism, so I hope we can both agree on that. I think we can also agree that autonomy and federalism don't work.- China (non-republic) has approached these problems with a simple solution.... give them autonomy. While this seems like a simple solution, it does not work in the new republic. By giving states autonomy, they can no longer participate in central government, and while it grants them personal freedom, it alienates them from participating in politics. The evident solution for the republic, is to adopt federalism. By giving regions like Hong Kong, Xinjang, Inner Mongolia, and Macau statehood, they hit two birds with one stone.What would a United States of China look like?Pretty much the same as the current administrative system. With some adjustments of course, but the current districts are pretty suited towards current groups. Argument 4: Possible lead to Unification - Many people in Taiwan actively support a Chinese Unification, but there are a couple problems.1. China is not a Republic2. Taiwan's government has developed highly over 70 years.Now, we already established at the start of the debate, that China would be a republic, so that cancels out concern one. Concern 2 is also solved. Under federalism, Formosa can keep its liberal government and participate in a greater Chinese Republic. Both sides only serve to gain from a Federal Chinese Republic. With tensions running hot, this is the most viable solution. -------------------------------------------------------------- Other ConcernsA new flag?While this seems like a minor concern, it can be a major one. People have been flying the same flag for 80 years. What would the new flag be, easy. The five people under one union flag. How would the government take on such a dramatic system of change?Sure enough, China would have to go on a vigorous change to federalism. Some countries have adopted a system of transitional government to combat such changes. China would need to accept foreign aid, and go on a slow process of transition to federalism, but I believe that the end reward is worth it.
