It Doesn't Stay in Beijing

Satoshi Uematsu's behavior is also, perhaps, a reflection of knife attacks on the mainland. CPC security services may admit to these instances of violence as a form of nostalgia for Maoist reducation camps, or as a tacit concession toward the consequences of imitating western liberalism (I've also been told there are knife gangs in Britain), but it is a conceptual victory for libertarians. Knife attackers can kill the unarmed, and any form of technology can be deployed toward a nefarious end; I am not sure where this Academy of Governance gets its numbers, but 180,000 instances of admitted civil disobedience in a country with such a significant population density doesn't bode well for traditional "crack downs" of the sort we're used to being fed by media sources. It may not be "five minutes to midnight" just yet, to use the catch phrase of Mark Shields, but to me it seems we're quarter past 11.
