The fact that China has reinvented itself as a free market powerhouse of the 21st century doesn’t change the blunt force that it is still an Orwellian nightmare for those who dare to express views counter to those of the official communist party line. Dissidents are routinely held for the crimes of peacefully asserting their civil rights, distributing political writings or for Tibetans, the simple act of exercising one’s cultural identity, which has increasingly become viewed as a revolutionary act of separatism in the eyes of ‘the Party.’
