Kiam's Blog

I wanted to comment on John Battelle's blog entry, but unfortunately, it seems that new anti-spam software installed on his site is blocking me.  (See picture below.)  It would be helpful for a site that comments on China to not block replies coming out of China.

In any case, I wanted to thank him for pointing out that both the US and Chinese governments infringe on their citizens' privacy and other rights.  Both undesirable.  But I wish he would tone down on sentences like "The Chinese own a shitload of our debt, and are consuming a shitload of the world's export base of oil. As they consolidate their power, do you really believe they're also planning parades for us?"  Let's just have fun with our blogs and avoid all this tension-inciting stuff.  We have enough conflict in this world.  Instead, let's think of the Dragon as a cool dude coming to the party too.
