I'm sure the ban on foreign textbooks will help them move up a couple of spots next year and the year after that too. Full Comment>>

Obviously fake. "When Hong Kong was under British jurisdiction, did the people dare take to the streets?" I've never met any American who talks like that. Sounds like pathetic propaganda to me. Full Comment>>

I thought Chinese people were against interfering in other countries' internal issues. Canadian law is Canadian law. Full Comment>>

1 year in prison for child pornography? I hope the author accidentally left out a few digits on that prison sentence. Full Comment>>

hundred bucks says it ain't such an open and shut case. Full Comment>>

While walking around I've been hit by e-bikes and scooters several times. At no point did the driver stop, apologize and offer compensation. Hell, they didn't even acknowledge me, just kept on going. Full Comment>>

So that's a reasonable thing to do, huh? Full Comment>>

And you still haven't acknowledged the crimes the DPRK commits against it's own people. You've written an essay about how bad America is which is hackneyed and irrelevant to the OP. By the way, I hardly think the North Korean people govern themselves the way they wish. Thousands upon thousands of people are ... Full Comment>>

The US and DPRK are completely different. Yes, the US fudges up quite a bit but trying to redirect the conversation into that is disingenuous. Read the reports being given to the UN by defectors and see what's up. And the DPRK has been a complete f@ckhead for it's entire history. Full Comment>>

Your travel dollars help keep the DPRK government on its feet. If you went there and freely gave them your money then you're an idiot. The people don't have food to eat and dissenters are tortured and murdered in prison camps. The government allows the military to continually violate ceasefire agreements with the US ...

I saw a kid straight up pooping in the street yesterday. I was too embarrassed at the time to think about taking a photo. Next time I will though. This kind of behavior is just barbaric. China will never be a developed country to be taken seriously until people stop this kind of stuff. Full Comment>>

Huatai bowling was kind of a dump. Horrible service too. Full Comment>>

So obviously fake it's not even funny. Full Comment>>

The only time I spit is when I'm in an alley and there's no one else around. And I don't push. I'm a civilized and cultured person. Also, I clean up after myself. This article is mighty presumptuous. Full Comment>>

I've run into several Russian men and most of them just sort of glare back at me. The women I've seen tend to be of the rich sort and shot at the expensive boutiques in Guangzhou and Hong Kong. Then there's the odd news story every now and then of a Russian going on a drunken rampage. Full Comment>>

Who cares? Kill yourself or don't. He just wanted to make a spectacle of himself. Full Comment>>

Is the wedding dress necessary? Full Comment>>

I gave some money to a beggar one time. He asked for more. So I took my money back and never gave him anything else and I saw him everyday. Even if I were to give him 1000rmb at once, he would still be back the next day. Full Comment>>

Given China's track record of food safety, I think I'll believe Germany on this one. Full Comment>>

The US is letting private enterprise further develop space technology. This is the smartest way to do it since the companies will make things cheaper and more efficient. Let China spend mountains of cash on a space program. Full Comment>>

In my experience, Chinese students have minimal knowledge of history, even their own. Ask the standard Chinese person how many imperial dynasties they can name. They'll say Qin, Han, Tang, Ming, Qing and forget the rest. I actually had a student say the US was only 100 years old. Public education fail. Full Comment>>

I'd like to meet that 1.63% who say the pedestrians didn't realize what happened to that kid. Full Comment>>

My family kept telling me I was going to get locked up in Chinese jail. Do you realize how hard it is for a foreigner to get put in jail? You have to do something either really crazy or really stupid for the cops to even consider taking you to the slammer. Full Comment>>

8 down. Just a little more to go! Full Comment>>

Ain't that government propaganda great? 70 years after WW2 and China still tries to portray Japan as a boogeyman. Full Comment>>
