@Junde 15 years ago a man opened a bar in Zhongshan. I play in a band with the lead Guitarist of the original band that played in that club. He is a local Zhongshan man who speaks English at what I call a Native level. He plays guitar that would near Carlos Santana. He hears a song once he plays it. He is a Judge in the Zhongshan middle court. He started playing 10 years before he walked into that club. He knows every rock song ever written and his blues is the finest I have heard. If rock was not around 20 years ago Where was he’s inspiration.

I am someone who started playing keyboards at 5 I turned to guitar 40 years ago now. I have a total respect for any form of music. From Vivaldi to Sid Vicious. If my humor portrays otherwise you should know me by now,

If Sarah L wants to join these discussions she must learn to receive and give when it comes to comments. She is good at giving. I am sure she also good at receiving. I do not understand your constant need to defend her. She has a good brain of her own and I am sure she can use it

On topic: The sad part is I believe we have lost fb forever. I hope I am wrong I will defend China in it’s stance. China does need on a very large scale to keep its very multi cultural society harmonized. Not an easy Job. I agree this new micro reading technology has just had a very big wake up call and is on the verge of collapse. If the same thing happens in the states it is over.

@ Sarah L how has music been killed in China? Its everywhere you go. When I play a song from 20 years ago many people can sing along. I have Chinese friends that I play with who no more about western music than I do. Was 80’s music banned? If so then it’s a good thing as this music was terrible.

What loss of spirit? The spirit I have seen in China surpasses anything I have encountered in the west. It must have been pumping back then.

@ The discussion I am starting to think reading both western media and watching CCTV9 that it was more than a spat over a falsely reported rape. Why are we not asking about the responsibility of the sites like Twitter and Facebook in this? If this situation arose in the US, England or indeed Australia They would be shut down under the anti terrorist laws their assets frozen and management would most likely be facing charges.

In the town Burleigh Heads. For years now we have been plagued by large demonstrations of youth. These large groups of youths which often turned violent were bought together by text messaging over mobile phones. This is more than a local problem constantly we here of parties gone mad because the address of a party is texted to anyone with a phone. With the advent of micro-reading the same is sure to occur through these platforms.

There are the recorded stories of young girls and boys killing themselves after one suicide had web pages built in their memory. So they copy cat suicide to get the same attention.

What we should all take into account is that this (micro-reading) is a new form of contact. The rules and regulations still need to be looked at on all sides of politics. If it can’t be China may be the first of many countries to take such action.
