Good for Bale. The saddest thing in the world right now is how everyone seems to turn a blind eye to one of the most brutal and oppressive regimes in history-- Modern Red China.
Because everyone is scared, and it's in no one's economic interest to mess with them. And I wouldn't call it one of the most brutal and oppressive regimes in history. The whole thing is very subtly done. You can visit family in China for weeks and not feel any oppressive government presence. The government maintains control, but intrudes very little into people's lives so that most people don't notice.
