...past, Beijing has often handled crises by suppressing the media and trying to pretend problems did not exist. In 2003, authorities covered up the full extent of the deadly SARS outbreak for weeks, a decision that critics said delayed efforts to fight the virus and may have increased the number of deaths. But lessons have been learned from that episode, which came during Hu's first months in office. The earthquake received blanket coverage by the Chinese media, with TV stations broadcasting almost hourly updates of the number of fatalities along with sometimes gruesome video of rescue operations, including scenes...

Seems she got out just in time...

The biggest roadblock to Harvard following suit seems to be closed-minded thinking. This is unacceptable when so many readily available solutions exist to the problems that plague our outdated system...
