Internet Culture

I came across a really eye-opening and hilariously funny WoW video protesting the Chinese government's control of the internet. See the article about it here .

If you don't want to watch all 7 parts on youtube (with English subtitles), I highly recommend at least watching part 6 . It clearly shows how the Chinese youth that is dissatisfied with their freedom of expression nevertheless has no intention of merely copying the west or conforming to western standards. They are very much proud of being Chinese. I think it's about time that democratization movements in the west wake up to this reality and stop trying to tell China how it has to change to be a democracy.

Brilliant :)
