> At the very least it does mean not suppressing opinions that you consider 'wrong'. true! > This is not black and white. Potentially true, but I feel you're fogging the issue (something that happens a surprising amount of time in these discussions involving china). I distinguished between dissenting comments and bad comments. While that's not utterly B/W it's actually pretty clear. > In fact, and since someone mentioned the American nationality of HN, the lack of subtlety and the need to see everything in black and white, right or wrong, is a common 'criticisim', so to speak, about Americans. Ah good old racism! And it is racism BTW. Americans are crude, stupid and gunslinging morons. Well, I've met a very few like that, very few indeed. Can I make some obnoxious and unfair generalisations about the chinese? You're OK with that I take it? I'm a brit BTW.
