All step back, and give me room
I have decided to be good all this week, and focus on how and why China has made such progress, even though the censorship at present is as tightly-enforced as possible, to the extent that all proxies are blocked, and … Continue reading
There Are Words That Speak To Everyone
Congrats China. Enjoy your party. You deserve it. My ten years here have been notable for almost unbroken progress and social development, with of course a few bumps in the road. But I can say without doubt that the Chinese … Continue reading
With Every Change of Tomorrow
In this ongoing debate, I would like to step back and re-focus. What is at issue is whether society works according to rule of law and defined legal processes and principles, or whether it is constantly warped by the powerful … Continue reading
