I think that Mrs Clinton is right on this important matter. I have lived in China six years recently and the change in attitude toward the rest of the world is noticeable. It is on the street, in the queues and on the buses where ordinary people express themselves without incurring the wrath of officialdom in China. But it is in these bouts of expression do we outsiders [laowai] witness just what is happening in China. And it is like watching a balloon being blown up and we are waiting for it to burst. If they keep blowing, it will burst and we will be covered in it.
