Can China be possibly more "liberal" than Singapore?

Went to the search engine of a popular chinese search engine Sohu, think chinese version of Yahoo. And while i was looking for other stuff, thumbnails and photo links to scantily dressed women caught my eye, well the title of the articles seem harmless like 9 seductive looks of a woman etc, lets just say you dont see such pictorials in "clean and green" Singapore's magazine stands. Yes we dont sell Playboy in this country... not sure if they do in China, but to have something like that on a yahoo singapore search engine, would probably be something i will not expect in many many years to come, ok how about never :P

Found this rather interesting commercial ad on this other Chinese newspaper site, apparently one that is approved by the Chinese gov.

  • Hey YY,

    Haha...you know my comments for China is it is more "liberal" and "capitalist" than the US and most western countries now...one thing might be still pretty tough will be issues related to the big 4 topics: Tibet/Bordering provinces, Taiwan, TianAnMen and Challenging Communist Party ruling; other than that, it is way too liberal sometimes, that even as a Chinese I feel we're losing some of our tradions and pride...
