[kj] KJ in China?

[Karen Weil]

Totally agree with Greg on this. China's gov't. is hardly communist anymore. Oppressive and nasty? Yes. 
Taking lesson's from Chairman Mao's little book? Not so much -- after all, it might interefere with Gucci shop sales in Shanghai. ; ) 

Cheers,

K.W.

  I think it would be fair to call China a military dictatorship that no longer has anything to do with Communism (remember when Mao
  invited Nixon there in 1973? It started around then...)

  From my own personal experience there, China is surprisingly westernised BUT still under strict communist control. Very paradoxical!
  Seeing as they still execute drink drivers and people who speak out against the system 'disappear' then I would have thought caution would be wise!

    China is nothing like it was. I think most people would be surprised by the quality and way of life there. 


    Youth has been looking at Chinese underground music for ages. 


    Killing joke in china. Who would have ever thunk it!

        Beijing’s urban music festivals are fun, but they’re lacking a few important elements: big open skies, overnight camping and an excuse to give up showering for a few days.
