| Hi Peter. No, I am not confident of the truth. But my eyes are all I have and while limited, they do tell a certain reality of the ground. Yeah, the people MIGHT be all smiling under duress. I don't know. Maybe they even harbour thoughts of beating me up because I am a Han, who knows ? But I am a litttle tired of "deep thoughts", so I am settling at the shallow end just like everyone else for or against the issue. The world has gone mad. I would agree with you in a way though, there was a time when we did worship that "cadaver on the square" but that was a while back. As I have written, the world is full of strange people loving strange people. China has enough idiots for all causes. We had them in Tiananmen Sq foolishly trying to overthrow the establishment. Now we have them waving the flag. Call me a traitor, I don't give a shit. Thankfully ,(?) Idiots exist in every culture and on every side. We are no better than the rest of the world. I am content in that sense. |
