To the Editor:I recently read PJ Glavey’s editorial on China, and while rightfully condemning China’s attempt to curb the flow of information, the article seemed to be woefully naive about the reality within China.The article mentions that China runs the risk of beginning a modern era of McCarthyism. The fact of the matter is, China has been under the grip of totalitarianistic censorship for many years now, and the regulation of the Internet is just one new symptom in what has been years of suppression of any form of dissidence. The difference between 1989 and today is that more foreign investment is occuring in China now, and we have a slightly greater knowledge of what is going on in the country than we did in the past. Remember, this is a form of government that covered up the fact that between 30 and 40 million (the exact number is not known) people died in a government-caused famine between the years of 1958 and 1961.McCarthyism is a pale comparison to the realities that political opponents face in China today.Thank you for allowing me to give you feedback. I look forward to reading more editorials in the Clarion in the future. Sincerely, Jessica Glaser
