I haven’t viewed this blog since in 2020. I’ve been busy
trying to finish my novel set in China. So why post now? Good question: I’ll try
to answer.
My first reaction is surprise that there was such a
widespread response the past week from Hong Kong. I have been appraised of the
amount of PRC censoring of the general public. I wonder if the people viewing
the blog are westerners in China rather than Chinese citizens who have found a
way around China’s cyber Berlin Wall.
I am in the multiple revisions stage of finishing my
action/adventure novel set mostly in China. The title “Carrying Pictures of Chairman
Mao” only hints at a plot about Chinese censorship, their spamoflage campaigns,
their state-sponsored bubblegum rock and roll, their government sponsored cyber
hacking, and their generational erasure of what transpired in Tiananmen Square
in 1989.
Writing this story has taken me almost a decade. I am nearing
the final 4-5 months.
I am wondering what interest there might be for this book,
but I feel if China, specifically Hong Kong, is so interested in the eclectic
nonsense posted on my blog the past years, they could be curious about what I
am writing about China. Let’s see if they have a similar reaction this week to a post about their homeland.
