发帖数: 16484 | 1 The west has fiscalised its basic power relationships through a web of
contracts, loans, shareholdings, bank holdings and so on. In such an
environment it is easy for speech to be “free” because a change in
political will rarely leads to any change in these basic instruments.
Western speech, as something that rarely has any effect on power, is, like
badgers and birds, free. In states like China, there is pervasive censorship
, because speech still has power and power is scared of it. We should always
look at censorship as an economic signal that reveals the potential power
of speech in that jurisdiction. The attacks against us by the US point to a
great hope, speech powerful enough to break the fiscal blockade. | x********v
