Anyone watching China, page-46

"One thing I will say for the Chinese they have been very transparent about this whole thing".

This is what really bothers me. That's not normal behaviour, that transparency. They are opening up in order to see what commentators say from around the world. This is their way of saying "what do we do here??".

The regime is used to maintaining order in the population through fear, propaganda and restriction of information flow. Free markets cannot be treated that way. Free markets will buck you off if you do that.
