What's up with China?

You can see a long time between this message and the previous one. Indeed China doesn't allow access via their servers to many of those websites as Youtube, Blogger, Dailymotion, Facebook, etc... So far I remember, this access was cancelled before the Olympic games in Beijing (2008), when tibetans people were manifesting against the local government. So it has been impossible for me to write for two years any messages, as my access was forbidden from China until I could access from an outside server. Unfortunatelly, my friends living in China won't be able to read this message, and only you, from other countries would read it.
Let's say, this is just the way how China want to control the flow of the information in and out. Russia is doing the same thing. This is just to keep the populace under control. Egypt and Tunisia learnt that too late, and others countries now are so afraid of the social networks. You understand why few countries are limiting access so this powerfull social networks to avoid the mess.
That's why, you will never read, you living outside China, any information about manifestation, on strike, however, that does exist. Otherwise, China should be under a new revolution here. Or it just a time delay before it happens like a virus sleeping inside a body. Maybe when the gap between rich and poor will be too big, a new Mao will born to reset the country.
Maybe you did hear about Tibet in 2008, but nearly few people know how it ended. Same as in Xinjiang province. What's happened there? Nothing, just some guns fight between local pro turk people and the local police after those pro turks killed few hundred Chinese. Reasons? Unknown, just a frustration I guess. Army was sent to clean the mess in those two provinces. As my Chinese colleagues says: "nobody knows what's happening there".
This is the only way how China can control more than 1.5 billions people. So don't make any judgement. Democracy here will only slow down their growth and will allow to many possibilities of directions for China to go. Two ways are already too many, only one must be followed. Keep 8% growth is the only target to stabilize the country. Build, innovate, this is how to keep people here busy. No need to think too much. One hundred Yuan bill, is the only thing now Chinese people follow... And they perfectly know how to make business.
China will cancel also this one child per couple policy in order to keep a dynamic growth. Two babies should be the new limits. By the way, now families have 2 kids, just need to have cash to pay the fine to the local government to solve the problem or a envelopp for them to close their eyes and register the second, third baby. So we may find soon or later 2 billions Chinese. As we know, many of them are not registred for the families who don't have money to regularize their kids. So they are more than you can imagine. However those kids may not have future as they can't go to school, since they do not exist! If you have money, you can solve everything here. Don't come in China with empty pockets. Moreover, you know also this story about the unbalance betwen girls and boys in China dcue to their social culture. There are 100 women for 197 men. Imagine the pressure of those boys who can't find a girldfriend or a wife and whose their family is pushing them to get married! By the year 2020, there will be 50 millions men who won't be to able to find a wife. Guess what, the only way later for them to live in couple will be to become gay ! China should allow the marriage for gay people soon or later.
Well, you understand now a little bit more about this country, why things appear stable, and why China is growing so fast.
