I don't know, to be honest. My knowledge of the 90s is first-hand, and of today--reliable second-hand. I have relatives there. After my experience with Russia and Western media's version of Russia, I had been wondering how to get reliable information on nations whose cultures are isolated from the Western culture (in particular, China). I haven't come up with anything yet, so now I pretty much ignore what comes from the media, and try not to form opinions.
