Reply #11: It's made by an somebody who is trying show the danger looming [View All]

Edited to add: I don't know if he is an American, I think he is?

You're right, China doesn't have free speech and they have limits on the internet.

However the danger is more people in China use the internet so become computer literate, which is an essential skill.

Free speech doesn't matter to the Chinese government, they are on the way to becoming a super power. The way it is going, we won't have any leverage to improve their human rights, if we even have any now.

The guy who made this wasn't saying China is better but showing us that we are going to lose everything to places like China (and India) if we don't pay attention (hence the gossip references, we're preoccupied by the inane. Look at this wall to wall oscar coverage by CNN,MSNBC, etc).

This short was intended to be a slap in the face to wake us up, it was harsh but sometimes that is what is needed to get people to face the magnitude of the problem.

When I read outsourcing complaints, a lot of time it seems to center on "I can't understand the guy/girl" which is frustrating but I sometimes think the real problem is overlooked.

MHO,this short captured the problems we face brilliantly. Now the question is what do we do? If I could, I would force every American to watch this (with the disclaimer it was made by an American so not to get people angry at the Chinese who did not say these things to or about us).
