China is Turning 60. Happy Birthday!
29.09.2009
As the govermen prepares to celebrate 60 years of the ruling Communist Party this weekend, Shanghai – typically a more westernized city – is being transformed into a propoganda machine. Not only does the famed red flag adorn almost every free space of real estate but the government has begun to scale back American presence through a more tightly controlled permit approval process for events and zero permission for billboard or storefront changeouts the month leading up to this weekends celebration. I can’t even imagine what beijing will be like in both good and bad ways. Coupled with the fact that I’ve been reading a history of Mao book it’s all very interesting to watch as it unfolds around me. Subtle, but not.
