Pretty much what I already suspected, so thanx for that account Chris.

The country is becoming more and more capitalist, but I don't think it is going to bring down the regime. The worst part about China isn't the communism, it is the totalitarianism of it, something communism needs. China is proving that capitalism can thrive under either.

I am not a fan of China at all, and they are one of the countries in this planet I would love to see sorted out, if only some of the people here who complain about such countries would advocate actually doing something about it. I thought it was incredible they were chosen to hold the Olympics. Are all reporters going to be monitored as per usual?

[b]Edit:[b] Incidently, they didn't censor out this forum did they, because you have visited here whilst in China? Seems a bit odd, to censor the BBC and not us. You could follow a link from here to the BBC's news articles?
