Does the Communist party censors control filter content in Shanghai too, or just rest of China?

Timely and insightful commentary from the inside. It was especially good to mention that there are many fissures developing due to the uneven and rapid pace of change in the PRC. Cultural influence and interaction is just one of many. It'll be harder to talk about exporting Chinese creativity when the interior isn't even cognizant of what is happening elsewhere in the PRC.

Wow!I am so chuffed that I am the first to comment on this new offering from the Danwei Team.Once again you guys have provided an insightful documentary presented in an entertaining way.However,I can't really say much for the band at the end though,but at least I could actually make out the singers voice this time round,probably why they have a record deal.lol.Anyway full marks to the Danwei team and keep 'em coming.
