HUA: well, my remark was pointed at those readers who tend to assail me for my political opinions. i've never been shy about expressing those opinions, even at the risk offending others or being called a self-hating Chinese; but i can do without the stupid comments that i get from people, because i try to ignore them but i usually can't. I get angry. And i am wary of turning Shanghaiist into a bully pulpit. I am free to say what i want on this site, but nevertheless there is a diverse group of contributors and readers, so i try to not sound like a broken record. I will keep posting such stuff as i think necessary though. interesting pictures...could be falungong, though who knows. but if you consider the inconvenience that the Shanghai gov't pu people through for the SCO conference, you might think back on Kissinger and nixon's visit to xi hu in Hangzhou, where they didn't let the normal people in, and gave out radios to the people they did let in for the sake of maintaining a particular image. These are all manifestations, (some more cruel than others) of country where one party has a monopoly on politicla power.

These pictures looked staged, and reminded me of the FLG propaganda drawings. 1) The Chinese Security Forces are not known to document events, ala abu ghraib, and; 2) Least of all, potentially incriminating events. In particular, the 2nd and 3rd pictures with guy in the blue shirt with teh woman in the red shirt, and the later 2 pictures with the guy in a green "paramilitary" uniform looks like classic FLG propaganda.

"Super Nanny" found the message and deleted. The above link is no good now. I happened to keep the original IE window and find the embedded picture URL. http://files.photojerk.com/chinaphoto/dalugongan.jpg
