Or house. Or employ.

And they've never nuked anyone. Until the Chinese have a ruler as bad as George W. Bush, we Americans have no right to comment on or criticize anything they do.

Read that sentence again and either laugh or cry for its implications. I does sound like China’s just acting slightly less democratically than the US Congress on individual rights.

The more China steps back from the Internet, the less informed, the less relevant, and the less powerful they become. We should welcome such backward tactics. Imagine if Germany of the 1930's disavowed electricity or mass production. Or more to the point, imagine if they ignored the advances in physics at the time. They would NEVER have even STARTED their nuclear program. (Which most people never heard about.) Great!
