These days, visiting the PRC---NOT!...Spent a fair amount of time there almost three decades ago,

....both of us staying mostly in hostels, backpacks on, using public transport, (including the Wuhan-Shanghai cruise, before closing of the gorgeous gorges), but of course never on China Air.
Wonderful people, scenery and food. Beijing-Moscow train trip of a life time.
But watching things change there, we have been loosing interest in going again. Once, high in the bucket list, perhaps to teach, as a certified teacher, and NOT of English, as so many unqualified ones do. And by immersion, to learn Mandarin, ideograms and all, along with some study of ancient acupuncture texts.
B U T---
Oz FT and ABC ( the later once great, now dreadfully lib PC), pair of reporters finally allowed to leave for home, after a little time under interrogation in lock up. Expats always say these stints with police were a delight. Valid charges---not so much.
All have seen my blogs and posts here, and elsewhere, simply stating the truth, good and not so much, about the downsides, VERY downside, of the wannabee Communist one party, workers' paradise state. As here right now.
Perhaps someday again, but not with current rule.
Great material and military progress in the PRC, over the decades, even with the many murderous, heavy handed, government blunders. But it'll take time for things to change, and then only after the cure of the great fear, VERY great, of the peoples' thinking, via higher ups in the Party.
Hope is often eternal. Great people can do it, if properly ruled. Hopefully with minimal violence.
King George learned the hard way.
