China is stupid if they think blocking Twitter and other social networking sites can keep people silence.

Rudy, you’re right. It’s 20 years this week since anyone tried to tell them what to do and just look at what happened…

China is the dominant force in today’s world. The modern sleeping giant.

With that said, China has never been shy in making radical moves to deprive its people. Who’s going to tell them to do otherwise?

I think it’ll be permanent. It’s tragic.

Yes, 20 years, it was before the fall of the Berlin Wall, which happened while my wife and I were travelling in Australia. We were in the Northern Territory in a backpackers when it happened, couldn’t believe it…changed the world.

So, will they only be blocking it temporarily? My guess is no. It’s a shame – when the earthquakes happened last year twitter was how we found out about them so quickly because someone in China tweeted about it

I can’t believe it’s been 20 years since Tiananmen.
