RE: Knife Sharpening Peddler Doesn't Need a Business Permit. Dalian China
That is very true China is not being portrayed the way things really are. And you're right about the authority looking the other way when it comes making money so long as it's not hurting anyone but I will add this (which could be considered hurting someone) also as long as it's not taking from someone more powerful profits.
You know things in China are really busy and hectic and generally speaking in my experience it's quite peaceful. I rarely see violence or big crimes happen. In the news I see it but i rarely witness it. In Toronto I saw police running around with the sirens on and chasing people with guns out often.
Thanks for the comment. You got new follower. ^^
Thanks @solarguy, i would further add to that - powerful profit from powerful people.
There are crime shows shown on TV in China and re-enactment etc... so these thing do happen. However, you do hear a lot of these news but sometime later after the fact because a lot of it are suppressed by the government.
You may not agree with censorship but China with a population +1.1 billion need some form of control. If total freedom is afford to them there would be chaos and not good for society.
In fact I would go as far to say that China is much more freer that most western countries if you do not measure freedom by "freedom of the press".
Hey man. I've been living the freedom of China for almost 5 years. In many ways the freedoms are different. For me, I like the freedoms in China. I don't have to ask permission to catch a fish and I can park anywhere I want if I got the money. lol
It sometmes feel choatic but in a way it is "organised chaos".
