   A government never elected by the people is simply not capable of   
   speaking for them.   
      
   The horrendous mortality among coal workers in recent years is clear   
   evidence that the Chinese government is doing a terrible job   
   protecting workers rights.  Of course, when they won't uphold basic   
   human rights such as free speech, why would we expect them to do any   
   better with workers rights?   
      
   And to this day, anyone who dares speak out against this unelected   
   government is quickly shipped off for "re-education".
