Most Chinese students, educators, and parents are already aware of the need to overhaul the education system in China. But try to persuade the people at the top when the people at the top think change means losing control. By the time these students reach high school most will give up trying to express their ideas. ... Full Comment>>

Baidu is China's answer to Google. But it's in Chinese and seriously watered down due to propaganda. But if you know Chinese it is the best source of info about China in China. For anything else stick to Google. If your an ESL teacher I don't think you Baidu is a good choice anyway because the education system in ... Full Comment>>

The 60's set China back a hundred years. this shows us why the teachers are very worried about teaching. Back then a lot of them ... This was about maintaining control, not renewing something. Full Comment>>

I never save money, too many girls. My first three careers are over. Teaching is fine. Low stress is a plus and travel is cheap. The other two reasons are for people with money. Mine is gone due to reason number one. I agree with the last commenter. Full Comment>>

I won't be able to work because I was born on woman's day 60 years ago. So I will now have a class C visa. I do have a family visa. So my question is does this apply to only work visas? Full Comment>>

New teacher with no experience and a degree from a low ranked university wants to work in China. He/she is automatically a class C. Good way for a recruiter to give them a low wage like 6,000 rmb per month in a 2nd tier city Full Comment>>

I remember Kent State. 4 students killed by terrified young national gaurdsmen. Beijing needs an excuss to deply the PLA before this spreads to the mainland. Full Comment>>

Have no fear, Chinese university students are well aware the local government is lying. So does anyone with a college or university degree. Full Comment>>

The build of this guy indicates he is Asian. I have seen quite a few Asian guys coloring their hair. Do you really think a Western guy would grab the steering wheel of a bus,drunk or not? Nor do western guys act as childish as he did. But then again, I have heard the schools are recruiting 22 year old guys fresh out ... Full Comment>>

Makes you wonder which airspace is safer, the Chinese airspace or the Russian airspace. And they still haven't found MH17. Full Comment>>

The Education system is a profit taking system in China. In most cases it is one big scam designed to get money. But the returns on this education are dismal. Many uni kids can't secure a job much better than a sales position. Many of the Chinese kids that go overseas find the differences so great, ie creativity vs. ... Full Comment>>

An interesting note here: Foreign companies started becoming managed by Chinese managers rather than managers from the home countries. By the year 2010 most foreign companies had Chinese CEO/CFOs. this is when all the corruption and price fixing started. Now they are being caught. We get this all the time in Canada ...

Three things happened here that came together by chance. If all 3 didn't events didn't come together I think this event would not have made headlines in Canada. Event # 1) China gets caught spying on Canada. CCP must save face by retaliating "Let's get some Canadians". #2) the Canadians in question are ... Full Comment>>

Everything changes over time. This is an intersting subject. Readers can see how things have changed by reading the comments and the date of the comment. fast forward to August, 2014. Full Comment>>

AMIVALENTMACE hit the nail right on. All of this is about money, resources, and political power. The degree of violence will get much worse. Even official governments of major powers are delivering advanced technololgy to fuel the horror. (Putin supplies the tech and weapon to murder almost 300 people)Of course some ... Full Comment>>

People like to complain no matter where they are. It seems to be in out nature because we see something that WE think should be changed. So I agree with you in general. I have met many expats who are in China because they can't make it financially back home. Everything here seems to be cheap when you have $1,500 a ... Full Comment>>

The young Chinese guys don't understand that we are dating and marrying the older and highly educated women they are intimidated by and refuse to look at. Full Comment>>

I have been to Hainan too. The beach at Sanya is spectacular, when there are no people. The beach there is smaller than the beach at Guangxi Beihai, but the water is cleaner. Once you travel 500 meters inland you encounter the third world. Travel another 500 meters and it is the 4th world. The capital city of Haikou ... Full Comment>>

The CCP would like the people to believe that all Chinese speak one language. Althought all chinese read and write the same characters, only 900 million can carry a conversation in Mandarin. All of my students are really surprised to hear this. But then realize it is true when I ask them what language do the speak ... Full Comment>>

obviously you missed the slang phrase because you want to concentrate on someone elses percieved error. Lighten up Paul. We use this phrase quite a bit in the west. Full Comment>>

There are so many studies about the harmfull effects of second hand smoke you'd think the government would do something. I work I in a middle school and I see a few teachers smoking in front of their students on a regular basis. If the teacher's smoke it is no wonder why students think it is cool. Full Comment>>
