RE: If You Think Facebook Is BAD, Watch Out For Chinese Social Media! (1984-Style)
Horrifying? Yes. Surprising? Not at all. China as never been shy it exerting control over every aspect of their society. What will be interesting is how the Chinese people will figure out ways to game the system. People can be very clever when it comes to finding the cracks in an oppressive system of control.
Also interesting how this will play out with their economy. They are too smart to shoot into their leg, even if their decisions sound horrifying.
I agree. At least for the past few decades, China seems to have done little to harm their standing in the world. The United States on the other hand ...
Chinese culture is unique. Very much a crowd mentality. Little care for surveillance and big brother state, so long as they can eat well and make money.
