Keep the Shiny side up


Quote:
China has censored parts of the new US president's inauguration speech that have appeared on a number of websites.

Live footage of the event on state television also cut away from Barack Obama when communism was mentioned.

China's leaders appear to have been upset by references to facing down communism and silencing dissent.

English-language versions of the speech have been allowed on the internet, but many of the Chinese translations have omitted sensitive sections.

Can't have the peasants getting any ideas, I guess.

China is convinced communism in not dead, it is the government of the future according to them

Communism just needed some modification with ideas on trade, Chinese think it needed a revamp after the USSR imploded

I wonder with all these Fannie bailouts backed by Bush
perhaps continued by Obama's admin?
who in the end will become more socialistic, us or them?
