Lx, please keep in mind we have one official news station for 1.3 bil folks in fact when its 6 pm here you have two choices state sponsored news ( A lot like soviet times or N Korea I would imagine) which is on nearly every channel or historical and moralistic dramas. so you can say that that site is bad mouthing but in fact it is only a site which is providing translations of the unofficial news and comments of the netizins.
the pursuit of the harmonious society is the reason for all the censorship of world views. BBC keeps getting banned facebook was banned six years ago three years ago twitter last week it was linked in. Tienanmen massacre actually gets your ISP locked for about fifteen min as do a few other embarrassments this government wishes to hide.
Human rights . I knew a girl who was not a member but only said falun gong ? whats the problem ? two years reeducation ! some big developer paid the local government for some land, boom thugs go in and kick the family out beat them and burn down the house while local cops watch , try to complain get beaten ,ignored or dissapear if you make too much noise.
let your kid play on the street he gets stolen and sold to work in a brick factory. cops just tell parents to forget about their kids.
Yes the world needs more and cheaper products and have no problem proclaiming themselves above this trash but at the same time beg to support it by signing more and more trade agreements. WTO haha rich, china has met less then 50% of what they agreed to in order to be a member.
I don't know , my friends who live in other parts of Asia have their mind blown when they stay here for any length of time. I bought a house in Japan just to have a place to relax. but this is the place to make money not a whole lot happening anywhere else.
