a lovely propaganda piece showing the kind benevolence of beijing bureaucrats, and at the same time discouraging any people from showing human kindness - china wants none of that. it goes against divide and conquer. the man naturally has no objection to his money making scam being advertised, because for sure people ...

Reinds me of the student TV station. While the manager was on holiday, some students had to count votes as to which movie people wanted to watch. Unhappy that "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" won the vote over some obsure movie they wanted to watch, they showed a litlle extra after playing the movie. Right after Mr. & Mrs. Smith ... Full Comment>>

I agree with you that this is an apologist article massaging egos rather than seriously addressing problems. But the 'fashion' aspect does stand out as a separate issue somewhat. It may be fueled by male-dominated media encouraging women to show what they've got - the feminine method of face gain. But it's like the ... Full Comment>>

Perhaps, but knowing Chinese rigid expectations and emphasis on appearances, even a properly trained local butler will be seen as a fraud, and can't provide the 'face gain' of a butler with a white face anyway. Face is what such a servant is hired for, after all. Full Comment>>
