the boy who cried wolf...

I was listening on the radio today a very heated debate - the bullet train accident in China. If you haven’t heard this news, google it. Anyways, “officials” report that the train was “struck by lightning” and “stalled” and thus, rear ended by another train. Why so “many” quotation marks? Because these so-called “reports” are made from China - that in itself raises serious doubts. Apparently, the railway department has set up an investigation team to investigate…themselves. Another highly doubt-able issue. Even if an “independent” committee were set up to investigate, it would still raise my eyebrows. I am one skeptic Chinese. The craziest thing from this incident was the fact that the crashed train was buried. Yep, buried by officials. WHY? I don’t know. Maybe that’s just how China rolls. And it has been reported that there are 32 dead. 32. Yea, like how General Li made the public announcement about the Tiananmen incident that “No one died.”

And then I just thought, what if, just what if this train incident really was a storm disaster and 32 died and they really found no suspicious cause and so buried the train? What if there really is no shady business going on? How would Mr. Wu think? “For ONCE we tell the truth and damn you all just make up so many conspiracy theories about us. Damn you, world. I will never again speak of the truth!!” Ahh… it’d kinda be like the boy who cried wolf. Except it’d be China who cried Lightning…
