Tell the World….

It appears I am blocked in China. I thought initially perhaps it’s the name, even though I never thought it would sound like trouble… but then I checked out the discussion board on the site. There’s a long list of perfectly innocuous sites which are blocked. So I tried my other two sites, Janey Pictures and my undeveloped www.filmfinance.eu site. They’re both blocked. Go figure.

Well, let’s give it some credence then.

This June 4th is the 18th anniversary of this terrible day. It is still moving to hear Kate Adie’s broadcast from Tiananmen. ‘Tell the world…’ a student said to her. Perhaps the world has stopped listening….

China hosts the Olympics next. They are the worlds fastest growing economy and every major corporation in the world have set up there. Half the world’s concrete was poured in China last year and they are heading to take over the US in terms of environmental impact. China may be hot right now, but it doesn’t take any heat over how it denies it’s citizens rights, it’s policies in Tibet, or, indeed, for the brutality shown that day in Beijing.

This coming June…. Embed this.
