long enough to be filmed and to draw attention and the film to circulate. Again, another image of the power of images. And he's disappeared. And there hasn't been a show trial or even a secret trial. And again, we don't know if he's still alive, but these are cases where I think the Chinese Communist Party really doesn't want a competing story out there.

They don't want somebody to be able to answer what he was thinking.

So, you know, there's a lot of censorship. My favorite book about, one of my favorite books about Chinese censorship, Margaret Roberts, where she talks about there are three different ways that the government can control the stories. And she says there's fear, which is this kind of direct censorship thing, like banning things.

But there's also friction, which she says, she has three Fs, fear, friction, and flooding. And she says they're all important. And I think this is true, not just of China, but in other settings too. So what friction means is you just make it harder for people to get answers or get information that you don't want them to get.

Even though you know that some people will get it, you just make it that the easiest way, the first answer you'll get through a search. So a lot of tech savvy or globally minded people tapped-in Chinese people will use VPN to jump over the firewall. But it's work. The internet moves slower. You have to keep updating your VPN.

So you just create friction so that, okay, some people will find this out. And then flooding. You just fill the airwaves and the media with versions of the stories that you want the people to believe. So all those kind of exist in operation. And I think The fear is the easiest side to say of what's blocked.

So I'm always interested in things that you would expect to be censored that aren't censored. You can read all sorts of things in China about totalitarianism. You can read Hannah Arendt's book on totalitarianism, which would be the kind of thing you're not supposed to be able to read that in a... somewhat totalitarian state or a dictatorial state, if anything.
