7th week

This week we learned about Chinese activists, and this was very interesting. We learned about Ai Wei Wei who is a current Chinese activist who is an artist also. He is a very bold and brave character, he seems to not really care what the government thinks of him or what they do to him. Also learning about Cheng HuangCheng was interesting because he was able to escape from Chinese custody and now is in New York City at NYU studying English and other things. I really enjoyed learning about activists because it shows the brave people willing to speaking out about the government.

This week we leaned about the role of Taiwan in the tension between the US and China. The story that was read to us, could be accurate and that would not be a good thing at all. The US needs to be open about where they stand on Taiwan in order for China to know where they stand. This week was enjoyable and I was interested in this topic.
