Re: "Beijing is a Nightmare"It is also wrong to assume that this kind of discussion wouldn't happen in China. (not morally wrong obviously, but factually incorrect)(Original post by Wucker)
Yes, it is wrong. There is no valid reason for the Chinese people to be restricted in their internet access. The Chinese goverment can and should be vigorously criticized for that.
By "outside information" I mean sources of information that do not originate from within the Chinese state and therefore are not subject to the censorship or self-censorship that are inherent in the CCP's domain.
Are BBC, Facebook and Twitter than only sources of "outside information" then? I don't know what their intent is but if it's to stifle outside information, they're doing a horrendous job of it. It has no effect at all -
As a Chinese, I believe more and more Chinese overseas students will light up the future China.(Original post by Aphotic Cosmos)
It'll all come crashing down soon enough. There's no way that the Communists will be able to maintain any relevance in a capitalist China.
A truly free, competitive market necessitates a truly free, democratic society. The PRC's days are numbered. Huge dissent in Tibet and Xinjiang, inequality in Shanghai, Guangzhou and Beijing, and successful capitalist alternatives in Taipei, Macau and Hong Kong . . .
China deserves better.
