Understanding that the western world that I grew up in is also filled with censorship and ommissions,(examples can be found just in tuning into CNN in the American.and then watching European CNN) I finally have a great example of the censorship here.The most common examples are found in China's policy of blocking almost every website from the west and their laughable news coverage.I swear,If I see one more news program talking about China's new paternship with *insert irrelavant 3rd world country name here* I am going to flip out.But,today in class I witnessed just how much is kept from me.I have often heard rumors of a textbook that all chinese students must study that teaches them how to interact with foreingers.Most of what I have heard deals with proper topics to discuss and obvious No-No's in conversation.Basically,anything that doesn't paint a glowing picture of this glorious nation should never be discussed with an outsider.I've seen examples of this in class where students shy away from topics that even slightly relate to politics but never gave it much thought.My job here is to teach English not to terfere with their lives.Today,however,both of those world's collided and I found myself in an awkward situation.The lesson plan for the day was simple enough and is something I have done many times.The students are asked to chose a famous person they admire and then answer classmates questions as if they were that person.Most of the time,students chose pop stars and random historical figures for this assingment and you end up getting the lastest gossip on the popular chinese pop stars.Being chinese they shy away from any political figures and even if you do get the occassional "Mao ZeDong",the students will make a concentrated effort to avoid any of Mao's famous "mistakes".Because of this,this class goes by fast is filled with questions about pop stars boyfriends and girlfriends and ends up being funny as you listen to students play the role of someone they admire.Today,however,had a curveball in it I did not see coming.One of the students decided to be ole' Mao and I really didn't worry about it.He's a good student and quite clever so I figured he could give "safe" answers and we would move on.Little did I know that the students had a different plan for this poor kid.Right from the start they took him to task,first question went along the lines of:"As the world knows you(Mao) organized and instituted The Cultural Revolution,You need to explain these terrible decisions!".Needless to say,I froze.I had no idea where to go with this and really wasn't sure how to handle this little timebomb I had on my hands.(Mao) brushed of the question and tried to move on but the girl piped up again and said,"NO!you must explain yourself".At this point,I am wondering how to explain to my chinese girlfriend why I have been kicked out of the country and if I should just go home,pack,and wait for the PSB (People's Secrurity Bureau) to escourt me to the airport.Eventhough it is the students talking,I will been seen as the one who instigated this conversation and I am definetley hearing things that foreigners are not supposed to,especially in a classroom.Just when I am about to jump up and move along to a new famous person (Mao) says:"We can not discuss this now as our teacher is a foreigner".The girl took this hint and shut up and we moved along to the normal pop star gossip.The thing about this that I found so strange was that this girl would back this guy into a corner like that in front of me and then the blatant aknowledgment of their education in censoring these conversations from foreigners.Both of these make me wonder more about something that I have thought about for some time now.In 2008 the Olympics come to Beijing and this country is put on the World Stage.How do you keep a lid on this stuff then?It's a question that both excites and worries me and only time will tell what will happen in 2008,but l think it going to be a legitimate problem.You can censor information coming in,as China has done for many years,but when you open yourself up to something like the Olympics you lose alot of that control.China may find itself in a situation where information flows both ways and they are put on the World Stage for more than their ability to host an Olympics
