You read like a commie commercial
Doesn't matter how it reads. What matters is: Is it true?
Not at all. Just stating facts. But keep in mind...would you want to end up in a chinese jail? I didn't think so. Neither do the chinese. Understand that there are police everywhere, and I'm sure secret police too. Part of it is cultural too. The chinese may rob you blind in a business deal, but they consider it shameful to do a stick-up. Face is a big deal in their culture, and getting caught doing a stick-up job is a major loss of face. But I still can get to FR from my hotel room(s) in china. I talk openly about the shortcomings of the chinese governement with my chinese hosts. They have never tried to shush me down about anything I've said and I don't say things under my breath. The first time I went to Mao's tomb and walked out looking across the street at a KFC, and McDonald's I started laughing openly. Told them that Mao must be spinning so fast that they could solve their energy problems by hooking a generator to his corpse. Everybody laughed. The younger chinese who are in their late 20's and early 30's don't identify with Mao at all. He was dead before they were born and they pay little heed to his philosophies. When my chinese coworkers the come to my home here in the US, they like it. They want to live like I do with cars and boats and snowmobiles and several kids, etc. The commies are toast and they know it. They are trying to hang onto power any way they can. But the commies also know that repression of the public will get them killed.
