I was going to write a blog post criticizing Chan for his comments and noting how the same thing has been said about other countries that are now democracies (the United States, Japan, West Germany, Italy, Spain and South Korea immediately come to mind).
Iba a escribir un comentario en un blog criticando a Chan por sus comentarios y añadiendo que lo mismo se dijo de países actualmente demócratas como USA, Japón, Alemania Occidental, Italia, España y Corea del Sur, paises que me han venido de repente a la mente.
