The web is becoming Chinese. What you see in China turns up in the West a few years later.

The things that some of you don't like about the internet are things that millions do like.

True.

Fedbook, Twatter and & Co. are all Cinese trendsetters.

I think it's primarily that what was mainstream on the Internet while the Internet itself was still somewhat niche is returning to what it logically must be compared to society at large.

Could you give an example, I'm not sure I'm understanding your point.

Since TV in its present form will inevitably die and its audience shift to the Internet in some form or other, the Internet video content I like will "die" soon enough. I think it would be more accurate to say it'll be a little harder to find, much the same as how it was always a little harder to find the TV programming that interested me than to find that which everyone was watching.

So let's blame China for what the Internet is becoming lately.
Fedbook, Twatter and & Co. are all Cinese trendsetters.
However, you might be right. In a few years the Internet might become 'cleaned up' and restricted as it is in China today.

I thought them stupid to block Facebook and Twitter

Trade finance datasets are unfortunately not homogeneous and different measures capture different aspects of trade finance activity. Reuters data on trade finance only aggregates loan syndication deals, which have mandated lead arrangers and thus capture the trends in the large-scale trade lending business, rather than providing an all-inclusive loans database. Perhaps the largest source of regularly collected and methodologically consistent data on trade finance is credit insurers (see “Testing the Trade Credit and Trade Link: Evidence from Data on Export Credit Insurance”, Auboin and Engemann, 2013).

If Shakespeare was still around he and I would be sitting with glasses of Irn Bru, deeply concerned and sighing.

Well maybe you should have stayed in teaching jimbro. After all the numbers of illiterates in your corner of the world is in vast numbers and there is an educational prob. Solve your own corner and you would have some morality to smile about.
