Chinese Talking Politics. Thanks to antiquity and the stability of the Constitution of China, this country is extremely unified... it counts only little more than 63 political parties. Quite often one finds Chinese citizens discussing vehemently on public places, using arguments they had prior seen in their favourite journal. Quite often the journal itself will replace the argument, being used as such, plate 20 from Voyage En Chine by Honoré-Victorin Daumier, print, 1844
