This is fascinating on so many different levels. For one, as I suspected, this chemical leak is a whole lot worse then China's government has been saying. They were insisiting the air was fine and didn't pose a threat, Now there is a 3km evacuation.
It is interesting the chinese media criticizing the government. That never happens.
It is interesting to speculate if a goverment official was involved with Ruihai International Logistics. After the blast, a blogger posted what chemicals that company dealt with, but the boad members were removed from the sight. Then the sight went offlline. And China says when the blast went off, so did the whole websight.
It is interesting there is a supercomputer a few blocks away from the port. One of the fastest in the world.
It is interesting that China devalued their currency 2 days in a row(6% the second day) before the blast.
It is interesting the chinese bloggers posting videos, and then having the chinese authorities deleting them. But at that point they were already reposted all over the world.
It is interesting the piss poor media coverage. Then again, China put all foreign reporters 6km away and has been closed lip. The 2008 Sichuan earthquake (killed 80,000) the authorities tried to suppress info.
It is interesting, what happens to that massive black, chemical cloud heading for Korea. What are the enviromental consequences for the planet?
It is interesting there is a sexual revoloution going on in China. The genie is out of the bottle.
I always thought the GnR album title "Chinese Democracy" was brilliant. Just by throwing that phrase out there helps keep that ball rolling.
May you live in interesting times.
