If Zubari was refering to the Chinese ways regarding free speech, human rights violations and the like, then he Is right, by our standards.Honesty should be praised.
True, he Is no longer a private citizen-he Is now a celebrity figure and therefor has a responsibility to conduct himself as such,but on the other hand, he Is now In Israel,where he can speak his mind and the Chinese should get use to a dose of criticism.They had It their way, while the Olympics were on (limited access to journalists, blocked web sites)
