"Kissing in public is inappropriate, but crapping on the street isn't." --- That's a brilliant summary of China. Full Comment>>

In the wake of this disaster, I would ask people to please give generously to the Red Cross Society of China. There are government officials who need to visit high-end prostitutes and buy expensive presents for their friends. They can't do it without your support. Full Comment>>

The full extent of his injuries must be determined before he decides how much to sue the Russian girl for. Full Comment>>

Doesn't he know that when a girl breaks up with you, you put her in a suitcase? Full Comment>>

Wow, I definitely have to see that Uruguay vs Costa Rica game. Full Comment>>

Excellent synopsis. Full Comment>>

Here's the wikipedia entry that this whole "blog" was copied from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People%27s_Republic_of_China_%E2%80%93_Pakistan_relations Full Comment>>

Khurram786 - Your article truly captures the essence of Chinese academic writing. By which I mean, it is entirely copied from the internet. Full Comment>>

I thought cannibalism was a thing of the past. Way to go, China. Full Comment>>

Firstly, that guy is awesome. Secondly, the piggy looks very happy (it has its eyes closed and everything). Thirdly, has anyone else seen Black Mirror (Season 1, Episode 1)? Full Comment>>

Hi Mead --- What separates us from that woman is that we don't have public tantrums, attack other people's cars with our fists, or drive into old men. --- Your objection to people expressing contempt towards her seems to be solely based on the vocabulary they use, not the fact that they are expressing contempt. --- ...

Credit to the hospital for really going beyond the call of duty. Western hospitals give up on a corpse after only a few minutes. But this hospital continued administering treatment for DAYS. That's the type of generosity you won't find anywhere but China. Full Comment>>

Haha, I was wondering about that too. Angry Chinese guy: "God damn it, I'm so tired of waiting. See that echinacities writer/translator guy? He has a bomb in his ass. Wait, why are you arresting me? Arrest HIM!" --- The scenario that the title suggests is an interesting one. Your avatar has exactly the ... Full Comment>>

"Fictitious Facts" --- In other countries we would say "lies", but in China facts don't have to be truthful. Full Comment>>

While the CCP loves talking about "soft power", what they seem to have forgotten is that you need produce something that people want. What other countries want from China is clothes and other factory products. What they don't want is lectures about "Confucian Values". The West has had tons better ... Full Comment>>

"you cannot hold discrimination by such individual incident"... INDIVIDUAL INCIDENT? Are you serious? The perception that Chinese people are indifferent to other people in distress is the result of HUNDREDS of publicised cases, and OUR OWN observations. Anyone who has lived in China for a few years has ... Full Comment>>

"Are you just talking about opposites and then label the one that is less appealing as masculine?" Haha, I think that was very perceptive, Keiran. Full Comment>>

It's the behaviour of mainland Chinese people that we are lamenting; not their race. Take you for example: Instead of expressing anger or sympathy, you DENY THAT ANYTHING HAPPENED. That's the same attitude as people who walk past an unconscious woman and pretend she isn't there. If you have an accident in public, I ... Full Comment>>

Guest2368048: Why are you using vague, subjective, pointlessly ambiguous terminology instead of making lucid statements about the status of women in China? Do you even have anything to say? Full Comment>>

In terms of Natural Selection, the fact that Chinese people have no interest in each others' life or death is against them. Their staggering numbers and ability to thrive in toxic environments are factors in their favour, I guess. --- By the way, the woman in the photo looks bright and friendly. Nothing like the ...

"UNESCO's Memory of the World Programme is an international initiative launched to safeguard the documentary heritage of humanity against collective amnesia, neglect, the ravages of time and climatic conditions, and WILLFUL AND DELIBERATE DESTRUCTION." ---------------- China - the world's No.1 perpetrator ...

Guest: When you say "know about masculine and feminine energies", do you mean "know" in the same sense as people knowing about maths, science and geography? Because it sounds to me a bit less like knowledge, and a bit more like the words of a crystal-gazing idiot. Full Comment>>

But the interior of a plane is cave-like... Maybe it triggered their ancient caveman impulses. And by ancient caveman impulses I mean the way they normally behave, everywhere, all the time. Full Comment>>

Haha! I wonder if the mother was on hand to take off her daughter's bra, etc., when things got steamy. Maybe she could stand at the bedside and give observations and criticism during the process. Full Comment>>

OK, let’s address a few of these statements: “China has inarguably one of the fastest and most sustainably growing economies on the planet.” Inarguably? There are plenty of reports arguing that China’s economic growth cannot be sustained, and/or has already slowed significantly. I don’t think “inarguably” ... Full Comment>>
