Are you able to share your personal thoughts on some of these? Discussing politices, in the United States, is huge and incredibly important to us.

These are very interesting points. Just to be balanced, there are exceptions to many of these points. Minorities, for example, can be buried and also can have more than one child. (Minorities make up approximately 6% of the population of China.) Couples can also have two children if both parents are only children. And of course, people often have more than one child if they are willing to pay the fine, approximately $30,000 (U.S. dollars) if I remember correctly. People do discuss politics with friends when they want to, in other words, almost never! I’ve heard thousands of comments critical of the government, without any prompting on my part. There are more examples but you get the idea.

I’m agree with mike and will posting more my own thoughts here. Joe, thanks your comments too.

Hi Shangning, banning of discussion of politics and banning of media channels is unimaginable here in the Philippines. LOL, but I do like the total gun ban that you have.

I have a question though, are you still in Beijing, how do you open your Facebook page?

Yeah, I’m in Beijing, I play facebook and twitter everyday, they are banned, but we can visiting them in proxy server.

WIFI mobile -
blackberry or any mobile with WIFI functions???

why :O?

@Eehui If your mobile has WIFI function, it’s okay, they work fine in China. You hardly buy these wifi mobiles in Chinese shop. Nokia5800w and iPhone have wifi function and you could buy them from shop.
