Default Chinese Brutality

Nice editorial on the chinese brutality of the 1989 student demonstrations is very informative/captivating... especially volume number 3 with the massacre of innocents.

a brutal governement indeed.

I love frontline... one of the most captivating and informative editorial programs.

The world has the tendency to imitate the superpower of the moment. In the medieval age it was Spain the superpower, then France got big, and finally, the US got big. If China gets that big, does that mean that soon we will imitate the chinese culture? :hmm:

Cheers

Actually, the order was Eygpt-Babylon-Athens-Carthage-Rome-Nothing-Spain-Britian-USA. You seem to forget that incident in 1588.

Once China becomes the next superpower we'll all be forced to live in the shabby "Americatown" portion of Shanghai running rickshaws for our new Red masters. On the bright side fireworks will be cheap.

Oh, well, didn't mean to be so detailed, just wanted a short example.
Anyways, you forgot France. Yep, that's it. For example, the use of tablecloths (among many other things) is because of the big influence of the French culture.
