Austin Ramzy paints a picture of what the Chinese citizens are going through in their internet escapades. The “big brother” style government is cracking down on anything that could potentially, maybe, or just might make them look bad. A tactic such as this would make sense except for the fact that humans are wired to go against anything or anybody who limits their freedoms in any way. Mr. Ramzy brought up Han Han and Jason Ng to solidify this very point. Both men are similar in their views about the censorship, but, like most Chinese people, both men take one of two sides on the issue. Han Han pokes fun at and comments about the issue hoping it will go away (most Chinese are probably here as well) while Jason Ng is actively trying to get around and suppress the authoritarian system. Eventually the Great Firewall of China will be torn down by its people. I can only hope that when the Great Firewall of China comes down that will be a lynch pin signifying the start of a more superior revolt against the communist regime and its hazardous effect on the people of China.
