You're certainly right about the security cameras in China, They are everywhere. The last time I went to the forbidden city I pointed several of them out to a few of my friends that I was visiting in Beijing. They didn't even know that they were cameras, they just thought they were some kind of light.

"How do you translate Nacht und Neber into Mandarin?"

You will first have to translate that into English for me. I dont speak any German. :)

Translates in English as "Night and Fog". References Nazi Germany, where those that got uppity got quietly "disappeared". Since doing stuff like Tianamen Square is too public, it's better (for the guys at the top) to just "disappear" dissidents quietly, so the regime doesn't get the PR hit.
