IMHO why can't both take one step back? Forbidding technologies flow leads to different standards in different countries. China forbode Google, Twitter, etc from rooting in China years ago, so China developed a totally different ecosystem than the rest of the world (basically) to take their place: baidu as search engine, QQ as IM, weibo as social media. This made Chinese hard to take a peek to the outside world, while the outside world also has a hard time peeking in. And now US is doing pretty much the same. Just when Chinese companies are trying to develop overseas business, US bans them. And as people from US and China cannot communicate, hatred grows and lotsa Chinese are now volunteering to ban foreign products. This is truly meaningless.

China has seen the days of democrats coming to power and China killed them. It has the experience in doing so. IMO when a democratic power is rising in China, China knows how to kill it swiftly. So uh, China becoming democratic is still highly unlikely, at least within 30~40 years I guess.

How about this in emacs www mode?

I am a Chinese and I travel sometimes. Never been to Europe or America (but I really hope so), I've been to lotsa attractions in China, Singapore, Malaysia, etc etc. And in every single place I've been, there are really a buttload of shitty Chinese tourists. They just randomly spit around, throw whatever they are holding into shrubs, talk real loud in public, and when it's crowdy, one will push another. IMO It's not a matter of Chinese government or something, at least not on this one... I myself guess the reason of this is even the Chinese economic boom made lots of people rich, it didn't really make most people civilized (and self-aware). Hopefully things will be better in future.

This letter seems like it was hastily written and sent out in quite a hurry.
