Comments on The other war against censorship
The video(s), though quite long, are very interesting. Being Chinese while having been raised in America, I can somewhat understand why censorship is important for the Chinese government; however, I believe that for China to completely embrace globalization, they have to get-over these issues. It does after all affect how other countries view them.
