Think and do it some more…… it is because people have been ignoring it for so long that the people in power became so blatant……. they have been forgetting that they do not live in a system where they are feudal lords…. think it, teach it or we may end up in a feudal system once again…..
This is true and we cannot ignore it. I find so much chaos everywhere in our world today. Our leaders have become rotten and unfeeling. Where to start cleaning house?
The tour guides were quite open discussing the government and freely explained it’s grasp had somewhat relaxed. The people don’t care who rules so long as they promise a better life.
The media and the press, along with internet are heavily edited….. and complainers go to jail……. I would not call that peaceful….. (not to mention the underworld; the drug and prostitution rackets and all the jazz that comes along with it)….
We’ve all read that China and Google don’t get along. I had trouble reading gmail while I was there. It was a lot of trouble and spotty. Others in my group had the same problem.
Yes if you want to see the real country talk to ordinary people…. listen to them while they eat and talk in restaurants, read their papers and the public reactions…. you will see a different country than that is projected to the tourists….. Bon voyage and happy hunting
Talk about being asleep at the switch! Incredible.
