Hi Cathy! Glad you can join us here. I guess for the moment you have access because the program that your government uses to filter out websites in your area hasn't noticed the Hip Forums yet. I bet it will soon. So enjoy the access now while you can. And remember, if you lose access to this Free Speech site, it is because your government is censoring Free Speech!
Let's hope she hasn't been a target of China's secret police... More likely her MSN account has been blocked.
what, for chatting on MSN. That's ridiculous, we are even careful about what we talk about. I have a few other Chinese friends on MSN and they seem to be online less frequently too.
HUH? WTF? You must be "careful" about what you talk about? That's ridiculous! See Microsoft is assisting the fascist gov't of China in censoring the Free Speech of 1.3 BILLION people!!!
hi . i bk.. i always here with you guys . I ve never been disappeared .. i think i was nt on the forums for i have too many worrying these months . however i really dont know what should i do and what can i do .. before i tell you guys what happened on me.. i wish i could first let you feel i am not typical chinese who making or doing most chinese do . But my thinking just for the mind as HUMAND BEING .I never think i am ONLY chinese but i should say i am " Citzen of the World " , this is not ego on me , just for what i ve learnt from books and what i ve seen up till now making me more multicultural and more international them so Chinese . I used to got many chance of communicate with ppl from different countries , of course , most of them would be American which now i still have the contact with them and also making my accent a kinds American ..hee hee .. I know how many mistakes for how westerners thinking about Chinese , but i prefer consider this as a culture shock more then things need to be explained . even in my daily life , i am more western style more then Chinese Conservative style , i like hug my friends which sometime would embarrassed them , not trying to make ppl feel i am sweet but a hug could expressing the caring and big encouragment more money support which this is so Chinese way ( money support) I just wish all buddies in the forums would give away a imagin that i am typcial chinese . i am not conservative , over-sensitive with political issues , extremely but wrong patriotism which i heard from my foreign friends that what they have seen te Chinese doing in their country . i do like my cuntry , just the experiences making me much prefer the freedom and human- based world in west.
oh.. skip .. shouldnt scared me like that way . china knows i like him a lot for now i am being exploiting from my work but i still keep silent , then he know how am i willing to making this small but great contribution to him . heehee , china wont block me MSN , if he blocked me the msn then this truly proved that the Chinese started their life in a fake happy and developed socialism society , although he know most of the chinese basically think that china is more capitalsm , and the CHinese style socialism just a F** fairytale for everyone . China smartly saying how bad side of capitalism , on the another hand which saying how great work their combining policy with the capitalism in hk and with mainland..
Cathy, I too feel myself to be a "Citizen of the World", as do many on this website. That is the way forward for everyone on this planet. To think we are something LESS than that is what causes too much trouble in the world. I LIKE the way the Chinese criticize western Capitalism. There are few leaders left who do that anymore. But in the meantime, China becomes more capitalist and greedy like the west. I think it's time for China's leaders to practice more "Criticism, Self-Criticism" as was done during the Cultural Revolution. China's people should be able to put their leaders in a chair, in front of the whole country and criticism them, and get them to criticize themselves. Then perhaps an old-style Communist re-education camp would be nice. Then when they come back, they'll remember they serve the people, not the other way around. How I would LOVE to send BUSH to a Communist re-education camp!!!
