My daily online things are totally blocked when I am in China. From Google to Gmail to Gmap to Calendar to Facebook to Wikipedia to Whatsapp to Twitter to YouTube to Messenger to Rolia....

What I feel sad is, although many Chinese (in China) know good English, they can reach far less ideas and information than their counterpart in Myanmar, a much poorer and underdeveloped country.

The key is, the people have been restricted from accessing the world. This must have certain negative effect on the society. You would be living in that kind of society.

A quick example, I feel so annoyed when slogans and billboards are everywhere for the propaganda of "socialist values".

It's different though. You can challenge the pot policy in CA, but you are not allowed to be a dissident in CN.

理想很丰满,现实很骨感。其实你的作用很小,改变不了什么。小百姓都只能权衡一下对自身的利弊,选一个自己认为对的地方。其实和选举一样,都是选less of the 2 evils, 没有完美世界。

It's not directly about freedom or liberty. But when there are so many subtle things are different because thoughts and ideas are restricted, I feel so uncomfortable to live in such a society.

When something is difficult to obtain, people would get less or even give up. Unfortunately that "something" is information and knowledge.

We haven't seen anything similar to the "goose" stuff in any other lately developed societies like Japan, S. Korea, or Taiwan. It actually shows how distorted a society is, after information is restricted in a certain way.

Japan businesses invested too much in American commercial properties, but nothing like what Chinese are doing overseas now.
