Access to MySpace has never been blocked...here in Shanghai anyway.
I(a Canadian)have been living here for almost two years - and from my viewpoint, things are not that bad at all, for city dwellers anyway - the farmers have a meek living but that’s true for most any country.
Is the Chinese government perfect? Of course not. NO GOVERNMENT IN THE WORLD IS PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who cares if you can't criticize the government? Go to Canada or America and criticize those governments - It won't do you any good anyways!!!!
Try managing a country with 1.3 billion people! It's not easy by any stretch of the imagination!! So you can sit there from your comfy seats and spew your "i hate china because...", but take a step back and try to look at the big picture. There are hundreds of millions of people who had nothing in their pockets or mouths just two decades ago. These people are happy very happy now. And there are hundreds of millions who are due to get theirs in the next few decades too.
Just imagine what kind of absolute chaos would ensue if everyone started to rebel against their governments. Now imagine 1.3 billion people doing it!
Get the picture?
This government is trying its best to do good for the people - of course there will be problems. That’s only natural, and problems happen with any government.
I come from Canada where the Canadian Government has trouble running a country with 35 million people. How difficult must it be to run a country with 40 times that population!
Let the people, the country and the government be – It needs time to develop naturally. If you lived here you’d see your criticizing is probably not justified.
