Break down civil society and bring in the fascists. Brand the poor as second class citizens and tell them to work as hard as a false stereotype. If my wife touted Chinese characteristics in a discussion, I'd tell her how wrong she is and why. This Hunt seems too gullible and impressionable to govern. Or perhaps he ... Full Comment>>

Is it a trademark Chinese cooking style? Is it really characteristic enough to be called a style? I believe the inventor shouted, at his eureka moment: "darn, i sat on a cucumber. oh well, waste not want not." - in Chinese of course. later, the smashing technique was 'refined' with prehistoric wooden clubs.

i don't see authors in other countries massively plagiarizing other works and offering fake peer review e-mail addresses of credited authors. Only China has such low self-steem, that it lets its scientists steal other's work and trick the process, rather than doing the research and giving publication an honest try. Full Comment>>
