I am on a short 10 day trip through China’s major cities, Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong. I wanted my kids to get a sense of the Asian imperative, the thousands of bright ambitious young Chinese swelling the ranks of our universities. The Chinese are coming and what better way than to get a feel than to come to them. First observations is that there is a very pervasive and scary form of Internet censorship. I can’t get the New York Times but I can get the Wall Street Journal from the hotel wifi. I think if I had told the boys there was no Facebook, Twitter, or YouTube over here in Beijing, they might not have come over with me. How can you have Twitter in Egypt and not China?
