    Sounds right. I’m not an expert but I did a report on him back in college so I’ve got a a little clear info and a little foggy. He certainly isn’t a good guy but he’s almost never represented properly which is a shame. He was no mad scientist but if people celebrated his accomplishments they just wouldn’t have jailed him.

    That’s kind of the way things are done in china imo. It’s kind of a trip visiting and hearing residents drinking the koolaid and pretending to drink the koolaid just to stay safe. I’ve had a few guides with different views on the government. One “extremist” just talked to me about how people are suppressed and the government could be better. Was all about how he’d be locked up and his family doesn’t approve of his views. It’s a different place.
