China Inside Out: Chapter One


                While reading China Inside Out, I was not really surprised with the outcome of what secretly happens in China. Even from the beginning with Deng getting arrested for “murder” just because she was trying to defend herself to the five year old getting molested by a 50 year old man, I agree it was disgusting but I’m not surprised. China is a huge country with millions of people roaming the streets constantly, stuff like this is going to happen whether we in the U.S. hear it or not.
                Going through chapter one there’s a lot that goes on and it kind of goes from one problem to the next, and one issue that Dodson talks about is the censorship of pornography on the Internet. The Chinese government ends up arresting a bunch of people for putting up these websites and making an example of them, issuing others to stop. This whole problem is just crazy, it’s the Internet you should be able to put whatever you want on the Internet. I’m not saying that pornography is a good thing and I would never promote doing it, my honest opinion about pornography is that it’s extremely dumb and weird; however it’s still a freedom of expression. You shouldn’t be arrested for what you want to look up on the Internet.
                Finally since we only had one chapter to read, already Dodson throws a lot at you and everything he writes is really important. China is an insane, corrupted country and a lot of stuff goes on that isn’t reported on. Dodson did a great job with the first chapter and he automatically just puts everything out there about what goes on in China.
