Recently got back from a trip to Berlin. One museum we visited exibited the history of DDR before the wall fell. As I was wondering around it got me thinking that essentially the control and governance is very similar to current world powers such as China. As the story of the DDR unfolds you can't help thinking that the end was inevitable and the people would get their way as the world progressed and modernised. I cant help but think that maybe China will eventually circum to the same conclusion. In opening commerce and international business they can not help but be influenced by the rest of the world unlike absolute goverment control and surveillance like North Korea.
Thoughts?
