They watch CNN alright. Jack Cafferty found that out the last time he
made a slur and had to apologize. However, to really influence the
mass of oppressed Chinese CNN and other western media will have to
broadcast in Chinese. There's a 1.3 billion x 2 eyeballs there to
catch. Its a worthwhile investment to mess up their minds.

I understand perfectly *WhoFlungDung*, freedom of the press is your
greatest
fear.
It will eventually erode the communist's hold on the Chinese people.
It can't happen soon enough.

You are too ideological,

Am I indeed ?

as long as the Communists do a reasonable
good job,

Collapsing schools send a horrible message to the masses.
Define *reasonable job*.

its hold on power, Chinese people, whatever, will be just fine.

Without *freedom* how would we ever know ?

You may not know that it's much more likely for a Chinese to be
pro-government and anti-West after he/she is exposed to freedom of
expression.

Quite possible and if you are so sure of the Chinese people's preference for
the one-party Communist system, then it should be relatively easy to
determine if democracy is more to their taste .

Should it not ?
