In China, people are protesting because of cuts to their social welfare, health insurance and pension benefits. Sound familiar? I think that there is much that can be found in common between the U.S. and China. In both countries, a wealthy elite tries to control, kill or beat down everyone else, the dispensable ninety-nine per cent, using police forces armed with firearms and pepper spray. In China, it is probably worse, due to lack of freedom of speech. I read in TIME magazine today that a blogger like me was sentenced to ten years in prison in China for speaking his mind on politics. Such a thing never happens in the dear old U.S. of A.
