that I am daily reevaluating and revising my thoughts and feelings about China, based on personal experiences, observations, readings, conversations, etc.  Who knows, one trip to Tibet and what I see and hear there may completely change my views -- and another trip may do so again.  It's happened before, both here and in other places, as it must happen to many people living overseas, or even within their own countries.

Truth unfolds in time through a communal process.
