Collision course


I don’t like the way Chinese government is conducting its self right now. This entity currently relies heavily on backward PR control methods and still believes serious issues can go away through means that can only backfire in todays social media environment. Blacking out the news, arresting people without cause, and mass coercion will only further shed light on its incompetency and corruption. I didn’t like the way it handled the earthquake back in 2008, as the government blacked out the news of shoddy primary school construction as HBO documentary found. When Ai Wei Wei tried to shed some light on this issue, he gets arrested without proper cause. Now comes the burial of the trains soon after the crash. What government on this planet would descend on a crash site and then rush to burry train cars in the middle of the rescue effort? I Hope the government is listening, this callous attitude towards its citizens and human life is sneered by millions of blog posts and tweets by its own citizens. China is now a nation where lighting strikes caused trains to crash, cars pressured a bridge to collapse, and drinking milk created kidney stones. While the brightest of the government are sending text messages to media outlets in bullet-point-detail forbidding them from producing reflective, investigative reports, many apparently think China is long over due for some.
