there are smart kookies around here. not all of them want to boast. my wife speaks with high regard of the "truly wealthy", who are indistinguishable from other factory workers at their factories for example, because they dress the same and do the same work on the floor. if you are truly rich, even chinese ...

you offer a longwinded rationalisation. i particularly liked the bit where it's "just asking someone to leave your home." China could learn from you, how to downplay the curtailment of people's rights, citizen or not. the tricky part about freedom of speech is that you must also tolerate the idiots and their stupid ...

good article. it touches on many of the problems the doctor observed. there are more problems of course, and their root causes lie within Chinese culture. normally, i'd expect the people to engage in deep introspection to solve these severe healthcare lapses. but it isn't likely to happen. people rely more on tests ...

another victim of black/white thinking, i guess. either you are not-chinese, or you're a chinese with a foreign passport. perhaps it's a product of jealousy that local monolinguals wont allow you to claim both. this rigid thinking manifests on many levels. it's all or nothing here: rudeness or humility, expectations ...

China needs to differentiate between rioting and protests.

Is there any looting or rioting taking place in HK now? No? ... Full Comment>>

very insightful. i'm sure there is a universal, broad definition of the word culture, and the Chinese are in the wrong for only seeing sacrifices and unpleasantries as culture. but perhaps it makes sense: so much of the mainland's culture is lost, but no one seems to have a problem with it. if it isn't seen as ...
