The Great Wall of China

I'm headed to the physical wall this morning but the information wall
I've encountered is interesting as I sit here for breakfast and read
the paper. Literally every story in the paper puts a positive spin on
every potential negative issue effecting the people here - inflation
seen slowing, grain prices seen stabilizing, chinese President
welcomed by friends, babies in Japan, Hand/foot/mouth disease being
combatted by govt... Its like a parody. Plus I am unable to access
this site to view it, but can post to it through back door chanels and
when I tried to video chat with my parents last night it wouldn't go
through at all either. The censorship is pretty incredible.
