Petty crazy, I know. For example, during the ice storm two months ago which 100 of million Chinese were affected, yet the headline of major newspaper in HongKong was about the sex scandal. However, an argument can be made that when a “civil space” grow large enough, some folks can choice not to involve themselves against this/that [fillin the blank] imperial power or shutdown the TV during Bush’s state-of-union address which is on every channel and I don’t have cable.
It is human nature, I guess.
