From the title of this post you might think I am going to give dating advice, but no, I’d actually like to discuss Beijing’s Age of Enlightenment exhibit in their new National Museum at Tiananmen Square.
It seems odd (however typical) for the Chinese Government to allow this exhibition, inviting the ideas of the German Enlightenment – the very root of Democracy – to their political center, but then take extra measures to keep artists and intellectuals from experiencing the freedoms of that ideal.
