I don't want to talk about politics in my country, because we have too
many very different "common sense", and these difference would
definately destory a pleasent conversation; but I would love to point
out several very obvious fact related to our topic.

Gong Cha institution could be regarded as a contribute to a powerful
regime, and with this institution, there was a recognised standard of
Puer. When Guo Min Dang came to power, they abolished it, don't know
the exact reason (got several reasons in several books), they did it
anyway, might be a consideration of democracy.

>From Communist party came to power to the end of Culture Revolution
(1949-1976/77), Mr. Mao and the Communist party did a lot of things
trying to prevent the things is actually happening nowadays in China. I
have to admit that Mr. Mao's worry was reasonable and not only people
in China is suffering from these, you guys also facing the fact that it
is difficult to get good tea, but unfortunately... (those who
interested in Mao's worry could refer to his publications, I am sure
you could find enough material in English about these, just search Mao
Zedong in your library)

Back to our topic, what is real Puer? Consider the amount of the
contribution together with the standard made accordingly, I don't think
the puer product under that standard could become a massive produced
one, it simply too strict, and this should explain my statement about
the two suppliers part. As there is a lack of regulating power and
regulation, we still facing the fact that too many suppliers are
claiming that they produce Puer...

Tired, come back later.
