Lockdown
October 20, 2007Yes, in all of China’s infinite wisdom the dreaded Youtube video sharing outlet has been banned. Why may you ask. Well, one thing you learn very quickly in this country is to never ask a “why” question because you will always come away more confused. I am sure it has something to do with the 17th National Congress going on right now in Beijing, but really, who knows. This kind of crap occurs on a regular basis over here and it has long reached the point beyond being comical, or “just apart of the whole experience” - now, it is just downright stupid. China (and all their benevolent leaders) are all claiming to be a progressive country, but these kinds of tricks only show the true colors this place still beholds. So yes, way to go China, you win again, and the rest of us minions are in your awe!
