David Cameron is enjoying his trip to China to open up trade with the new economic super-power.

Cameron, leading Britain’s biggest-ever trade delegation to China on his first visit as prime minister, had said on Tuesday that it was not his place to lecture or hector the Chinese leadership over its human rights record and one-party rule “dictatorship”.

However, Cameron planned to use a speech to students at Peking University to explain Western-style democracy.

According to advance excerpts of the speech, Cameron would reflect on Britain’s election in May which brought him to power at the head of a rare two-party coalition government.

Cameron said Britain had “two different political parties — the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats – with different histories and political philosophies, supposedly working together for the good of our country. It’s a great system, because it reflects the fact that the people don’t know what they want and so we can continue to provide them a “smoke-screen” of parties working together for the common good.”

“If China’s council could only see through the facade that is democracy, and understand that in much the same way that China’s elite chooses their own leaders, that we do too in the western world.”

“As long as the people believe that they have a say in the governing of their world, then we can ensure that the simple majority will keep themselves quiet, while we feed them with free-economy goods to keep them happy.”

He noted that he had to account for his actions on a weekly basis in prime minister’s questions in parliament, and that the government was always subject to the rule of law.

“These are constraints on the government, and at times they can be frustrating when the courts take a view with which the government differs, but at the end of the day the powers instilled in the prime minister by our countries elite, help to keep us outside the law. Take Tony Blair as our example, agreeing to a illegal wars against countries in the middle east without arrest,” the prime minister said.

He continued “I find this example particularly funny since he was made a UN special envoy to the middle east straight after doing this.”

It’s a complex arrangement to be made between the two countries. Should China embrace democracy the West would have one less place to point at as the evils of anti democracy. As it stand, they can always ask China if it’s ok to demonize them in the UK public eyes, with the opportunity to open more Tescos across the “Kingdom”.

So with very little else to do and the opportunity and possibility that I might be getting some work to set up an e-commerce site in the very near future, I thought what the hell, maybe I should just make my own for now and use it to sell some stuff.

I got through the mail this week an invitation to the Hong Kong International Electronics trade fair. So the concept is simple, I wonder through the halls of the trade fair, find something unique to sell and plug it unashamedly on this site and sell it through the e-commerce plug in I’ve set up.You guys are happy to have such a leading edge product at such a competitive price and I’m happy because I learnt to set up my store, sell some stuff and make you happy too.

Everyones a winner.
