Ó Mestre, eles até podem ser comunas (e já nem são muito, muito, pois não?...) mas a pujante afirmação dos "socialist core values" na luta contra a - óbalhamedeus! - badalhoqueira nos gabinetes de prova revela uma moral de aço à prova do mafarrico!

FLOWER POWER (IV)

"Mo Li Hua" (ou "if you go to Beijing be sure to wear some jasmine in your hair")

"Since Tunisian revolutionaries this year anointed their successful revolt against the country’s dictatorial president the 'Jasmine Revolution', this flowering cousin of the olive tree has been branded a nefarious change-agent by the skittish men who keep the Chinese Communist Party in power.

Beginning in February, when anonymous calls for a Chinese 'Jasmine Revolution' began circulating on the Internet, the Chinese characters for jasmine have been intermittently blocked in text messages while videos of President Hu Jintao singing 'Mo Li Hua', a Qing dynasty paean to the flower, have been plucked from the Web. Local officials, fearful of the flower’s destabilizing potency, canceled this summer’s China International Jasmine Cultural Festival, said Wu Guangyan, manager of the Guangxi Jasmine Development and Investment Company".
