The hard fact that Clinton has failed to highlight in her speech is that bulk of the information flowing from the US and other Western countries is loaded with aggressive rhetoric against those countries that do not follow their lead.

In contrast, in the global information order, countries that are disadvantaged could not produce the massive flow of information required, and could never rival the Western countries in terms of information control and dissemination.

I don’t really understand the logic in the above statement, but, hey-let’s see where this goes!

It is not because the people of China do not want free flow of information or unlimited access to Internet, as in the West. It is just because they recognize the situation that their country is forced to face.

Unlike advanced Western countries, Chinese society is still vulnerable to the effect of multifarious information flowing in, especially when it is for creating disorder.

Yikes.  China can create the second biggest economy in the world, send an astronaut into space, become the manufacturer for the world but it still needs its government to protect its people from themselves?  Because apparently despite all their achievements over the past few years they are incapable of determining what is ‘true’ and what is a ‘lie’?  What b.s.  Kudos to Google for threatening to pull out.

On Tuesday night I was at a movie and afterward their was an interview with the director. The interviewer wrapped it up by explaining that everyone was invited to a nearby bar where, “at midnight, to celebrate my birthday, I’ll do a body shot off of my pregnant wife’s belly.” Truly inspiring.

The next night I was at a concert where the singer was performing a Beatles tune. She sang the phrase “the wind is high” and then ad libbed “just like my daddy.” Once again, from nowhere comes more than I arguably needed to know.

It’s so refreshing to live in a city where people just throw it out there and frankly don’t give a sh!t what other people think…
