Dr Kavanagh and the Chinese communists!

Walking away may have been better, but then not standing up to a bully is not wise, is it?

To me, the real story here is how most of the Chinese live their lives looking over their shoulder and in constant fear of saying or doing the wrong thing.


Years ago, my son worked with a well known entertainment group. One of the attractions was a Chinese troupe from which he met a charming young woman. They struck up a nice relationship until one evening he was approached by one of the handlers of the group and informed or rather threatened that the relationship could go no further and in fact was over.

I've stood up to bullies and my experience is that there are bullies and there are psycho bullies. This guys demeanor did not just indicate a bully nor even a psycho bully though that might also have been the case but much more a fearful bully, not from the immediate threat or personal glee at bullying but rather the threat to his own welfare from the bigger bullies up the line. My point being mostly here was that there was really no battle to be won as the entire line of power here could not be pushed back by this simple encounter.
