For a start this is not Mandatory at all, get your facts straight. When i heard about this i presented it to my employers, which is a top 3 Chinese enterprise, they contacted the department in question, and were informed that it is optional. Full Comment>>

"Never forget the humiliation" what a load of crap, you work for the PR dept of the Chinese Government? If you know china, therefore know the people, its never about the humiliation its totally about the Japanese causing massive atrocities, they have and alwasy will hate them. This said, they should also ... Full Comment>>

Any guy that hits a woman is weak, pathetic and cowardly. His actions do not represent a person able to talk, but hit out. Your scum, and i am happy she made it public news, but do not wait for the second time. He donated a measly 1000 RMB...ridiculous. What i would like to know also is the photo shows 3 kids? How?

Yet another biased article about Foriegners in China. So what if we get angry? I personally get angry many times here, i do not hide it, and i certailnly do not lose face, if the person i am shouting at does, so be it, should not of made me angry in the first place! I was once waiting in line to fill up my car at ... Full Comment>>

China has only got 64 Billionaires according to the Forbes rich list a year ago, so unless i missed something, 60,000 would be a slight, just a slight exaggeration me thinks! and i think the quoted 60,000 even for millionaires is high also....maybe just a typo, or yet another over the top inflated crap story.

Well said Jeff, direct and to the point, unlike Banana who is simply a foul mouthed idiot. Full Comment>>

500,000 RMB...How do they get that figure? Is that the going rate for ahuman life these days, a pathetic 50,000 Pounds where i come from. Whilst somebody is sure to say "But that's a lot in China" No monetary value can ever be placed on the loss of life, through accidental death or Natural Causes. I read ... Full Comment>>

Hey Carl, wake up...i happen to know the difference between British and American English thanks, however it was an Elevator or Lift depending which side of the pond you come from, and not an ESCALATOR and if you don't know the difference between those two forms of Machinery, i suggest you google it or wikipedia the ...

I am also a Teacher here in China, i make a good living and have a good lifestyle....hard work and perserverance got that. I have met Foreigners that roll there eyes or move seats when i tell them i teach for a living, and when they blabber on about their over inflated expat packages and the stress they are under, i ...

Its an ELEVATOR not escalator, and how on earth did he fall into the pit without either A) looking to see if the actual elevator car was there before walking into it, or B) The floor of said car opened up and he fell through it. And before the hatchet is truly buried into Otis back, this is still under ... Full Comment>>

Jin, please stop with your hurtful and derrogatory remarks, and Zhang get over the imperialist idea will you, take a good look at what your own country is doing to itself before you remark on others. Pricks. Full Comment>>

Enough is enough Jin, your skinhead reference is harmful and derrogatory, i am from the UK and having a "shaved head" has nothing to do with being totally rippied off by someone,. Neutralizer, WTF are you are on about? Socks and puppets? are you high? Full Comment>>

Hey Jin, don't comment on here again eh, look what it's ended up as a "them and us" spat....and as for your Banana, you need to get a grip on life beacuse your comments are far worse. Full Comment>>

Didn't they find one of his so called "Giant Ships" off the South Coast of China a few years back? Full Comment>>

Jin, a fairly stupid reply. For a start you assume that foreigners upon reading this article are going to head into the countryside...and do what? Probably exactly as the writer said, understand and learn your culture, what is wrong in that? When you assume you make and ass out of u and me, think before your write ... Full Comment>>

I totally agree, even when i have had a go myself ordering stuff i find a shop that has a load of feedback and go for it...no problems so far at all, very happy with quality and speed of service. However, when spending into the thousands, make sure you have somone Chinese with you or get them to do it, as you just ... Full Comment>>

OK...first thing first, this is NOT a legal requirement for any foreigner to undertake. Secondly, those of you registered to work here legally can sign an "opt" out form should you wish not to take the Chinese governments social insurance. Thirdly, if you do take it, it is obviously based on your salary, ... Full Comment>>

Western culture has destroyed native culture....poor choice of words, as far as i know its the people of said native countries that decide to accept anything of western values and culture nothing is forced upon anyone...and vice versa. Full Comment>>

Yeah, and your countries history is so squeaky clean and pure right....its called WAR things that are inhuman do happen, and you bringing up something that happened ages ago is not warranted either, be it western atrocities or Asian...as you singled out Japan in your text. Time to move on. Full Comment>>

Interesting points here, and here are mine just for good measure. Firstly, this is not a recruitment site, maybe others can add to the list but if your looking for teaching jobs try these : .eslteachersboard.com anesl.com .seriousteachers.com .findworkabroad.com .daveseslcafe.com Or simply google"Teach in ...

Smoke on the high speed train....er no. Maybe you could risk a quick and crafty puff when there is nobody about, but if caught, just as in the air, you will be punished. I am a smoker, and the thought of spending a few hours locked in an air tight tube with smoke around me does not inspire a nice environment, if ... Full Comment>>

"If you want to find a wife here, don't. You'll never know if they love you for your doe, or for you" Seriously, thats all you can say? I would say the same about people all over the world based on that dumb assumption. Full Comment>>
