The Great Firewall

Since my blog was going to be held hostage anyway, my self censorship is now short lived. Autocracy, intent to control information and people’s minds at all costs, complete lack of any long term vision of building a country of fulfilling lives of creativity and value, its people only existing to be ruled as easily as possible…. I suppose that’s pretty much what most countries and their leaders want- easily governed masses. I love tea, but I do hate aspects of China, the complete chaos, the over population, the lack of education, the frustration and hopelessness of always being suppressed and therefore, why bother? Indeed, the same country that brings you individually hand harvested tiny little leaf buds that are then fired by scorching woks to finish with the most sublime, highest level of perfection unachievable by pretty much anyone else in the world, can not upload some photos into Instagram, or Facebook, to anyone in the world. Such a simple innocuous privilege. Suppression of thought, the cornerstone of the Great Firewall of China. Ironically, the actual Great Wall was built to preserve the golden culture of China from barbarian destruction. Now the wolves are inside the wall and no one can get out.
