Saboteur 10.8.19

In the reading in Ha Jin, the section of “Saboteur” made some really great connections of how our world sadly is today. In the beginning section of this reading it talks about how Mr. Chiu and his bride were eating, and while they were eating a policemen “accidentally” spilled tea all over both of their shoes and getting them all wet. When Mr. Chiu questioned him, the police officer put it on him and said it’s your fault, and he was making the public disturbance then. Sadly, this is something we are seeing on the news way to often, and it’s not what should be happening. Also we see this type of disturbance from police and government use in China with the use of limiting social media and what can get put on the internet. With these restrictions, if something bad was happening, many wouldn’t even know because of how differently the news can spread in China vs here in the states.
