"Han Han: China's rebel blogger"

I watched an interview with Han Han, a celebrity blogger in China who is known to speak his mind. One thing he said that particularly stuck out to me was that there are two types of information in China: citizen driven and government driven.

What comes to my mind when reading this is the very complicated venn diagram the professor showed us in class one day demonstrating that one aspect of a society is influenced by and influences other aspects. It shows how not only does the internet connect people through facebook and let people download movies, it is also a catalyst for genuine social and political change.
