Really great post and I am glad I found your blog. We are always looking for youth perspectives and it was great to see your insights followed-up with actual interviews.

I noted your piece in a recent post, keep up the good work.

hi, alec, good job on posting this. I like the Guardian video.

The guy’s music is funny to a fault albeit very suitable for this comical occasion. One thing I do notice is the fact that the chinese steps are so accurate that if you shoot at a frame rate synchronized with the step rate, you get the comical effect of the paraders frozen in time and get shoveled down the route. It’s as if you are shooting this parade in frozen frame animation with some plastic soldiers.

as to Xi’s supposedly out, the rumor is everywhere now. There is also rumor that Bo Xilai (who is not liked by Jiang Zeming because of his flamboyance) is in again. Watch if Bo is moving to Shanghai after the next general conference and how long he stays there. If it is true, then good luck for our uni mates Bo Gua Gua then.
