SG, TJ flies regularly to Beijing and many other places in China and abroad. Keeping in good with the emperor's courtiers is always an essential part of survival, let alone doing well, in totalitarian societies. Saying one wrong word, or moving a foot in the wrong direction, is a way of enacting one being recycled into the realm of CO2 or at best imprisoned in less than salubrious surroundings in China.

TJ learned at a very young age to be very circumspect and to fear the totalitarian powers that be. Young bright people learn very well and do not forget their lessons. Plenty of them sign on with the rulers in a form of Stockholm Syndrome, becoming enthusiasts for the cause. Look at the current trials of Pol Pot's people - "We thought we were doing a good job".

Just a lurker but a lurker with a brain.

Of course China can do no wrong. And you should keep that brain politely silent!!
