If the Beijing Olympics convinced you China is changing... ...think on this
If it was, would China’s media police have tried to airbrush every less-than complimentary reference to the Olympic facilities?
If it was, would the government have introduced transparency legislation then ban the press from writing about it?
If it was, would China have asked the author to help convert its propaganda machine to respected news agency then ignore all transformation advice?
Seven years of broken promises and mental torture at the hands of the masters of the machine left Mark Newham seeking psychiatric help.
Eventually he fled, convinced the system is in need of similar assistance. To those taken in by the great Changing China deception, he says this. Don’t believe everything you read about China. Change in the People’s Republic is the equivalent of turning your underpants inside out. It might look like they’ve been changed but they’re still the same pair of underpants.
