China Censors Iran Unrest


Reports are coming in from China that the government has ordered censoring and downplaying of the uprising in Iran as well as the role that technology is playing in the revolution. Apparently, the Chinese government is worried about their own citizens getting some bright ideas. Funny thing about democracy that the previous administration had a difficult time understanding. You don't have to force it off on a society and bring freedom with Humvee and air strikes. Democracy is contagious, it spreads through the power of example, not through the example of power.
