As I read recent articles regarding the Jackie Chan comments on China and the Chinese people, I decided that it was finally time I completed an unfinished blog I started in June of last year. A little background--
The idea for this post came to me when I was in Beijing in summer of 2008. I had just arrived at my hotel and was feeling pretty bored. It was late and I didn't feel like venturing out, so I decided to surf the web.
And that's when it struck! In big bold letters: "Error loading the page you requested"
Frantically, I tried some other sites. Same response. I tried over and over.. nothing!!
I was getting desperate!! I didn't know what to do...I asked the mighty heavens above, "WHY CAN'T I ACCESS MY PORN SITES?!?"

Moving forward--
Apparently in China, the government restricts certain sites that they deem "politically sensitive." These include social networking sites (such as Facebook, Friendster, Myspace) or personal bloggers (such as Xanga and Blogspot). More importantly, China bans pornorgraphy and other video feeds due to their "inappropriate" content. Ironic though, since China is a well known destination for prostitution; where it is common to find happy endings with the local "Mei mei's!"
Oh, and don't even think about searching for any content that is remotely related to "Tibet","Earthquakes", or "Taiwan" _________________________ Fast forward to today-- As I have discussed (more like argued) with my mainland Chinese colleagues, China is a fucked up place where the brainwashed masses still believe that the government holds the well being of the people as the primary interest. Even more shocking is Jackie Chan's idiotic comments (link) suggesting that the Chinese people as a race need to be controlled and should be denied freedom. What Jackie doesn't realize is that this "freedom" is what gave him his fame, fortune, and lifestyle he can enjoy today! In modern China, the society is SHARPLY divided between the have's (rich ass mofo's) and have-nots (poor ass bitches). This is a direct result of the ridiculous communist system that was originally created to stop class disntinctions and distribute wealth equally. Communism apparently didn't work out so well... especially for the starving Chinese industrial slaves who were recently laid off and sent packing back to their destitute villages without running water. This coupled with the government's facist regime doesn't promise any bright future for the people. The damn Commies only seek to maintain power by whatever means necessary. Ironic that the Communist revolution was started to END feudal soveriegnty of the emperor. And if it ever appears that the Communist government is acting on helaf of it's people, it is really only a ploy to supress uprisings. As they fear that Chinese citizens will finally realize how royally screwed they have been for the past century-- Yes, they can thank good ol' Mao Zhe Dumb for the opportunity of being butt raped raw by a catctus. __________________________ Proud to be TAIWANESE-- Working out here in Asia and having been relocated to Taiwan, Beijing, and Singapore; I've been exposed to enough of the culture and mentality of various Asians. I have come to realize one thing. Even with all the "chaos" of Hong Kong and Taiwan, these are the most amazing countries in the world. So what if our politicians occasionally get into a fist fight during heated debates? (It's also happened in American history when Congressman Preston Brookes beat Senator Charles Sumner!). At least the government doesn't ban my right to think, to voice, and to watch PORN! So damn you Jakie Chan and damn you Commie bastards! So no, I'm not Chinese, and haven't been ever since Mao. I'm just a regular freedom loving Taiwanese! |
