"Less impossible" in the headline is still... impossible. (The word is a non-gradable or absolute adjective.) Pretty much sets the tone for the disinformation in the article. Full Comment>>

Zhao and Peng? I must know a million Zhaos and Pengs in China! (Where's Wang? Besides hiding in the closet, I mean...) And the authorities - heh heh - caught only two of them plus seven accomplices??? Nice job, boys in blue! With over 9 million exam-takers, Zhao and Peng are scapegoats. Maybe even fictitious in a ...

Intrigued by the Forbidden City shoot for several reasons. One, worse things happen in that tourist trap such as thievery. scams, prostitution, littering, public excretions (urinary, anal and respiratory), and other misfortunes perpetrated by less-developed beings such as Wang Dong. Two. I am somewhat a snapper ... Full Comment>>

Feb 12, 2015 12:35Around China : LD.Watson commented on news Japanese Toilet Seat Fever Sweeps China

But the Japanese took the toilet concept a step further in terms of personal hygiene and comfort - not at all a bad ... Full Comment>>

Bypassed the article mainly because I'm not looking to get hired in China. But first impressions do count, as my eye caught the headline and the photo. The boy in the studio shot needs a proper haircut if he wants to pass any interview. Full Comment>>

Quallcom must be earning heroic amounts of money in China to agree to pay close to one billion US to Chinese "antitrust" regulators. Probably a spit in the bucket. (A really BIG fat red envelope comes to mind at this time of year.) Anti-trust? Anti-monopoly? No one holds a monopoly in China EXCEPT the Chinese. ... Full Comment>>

Feb 09, 2015 20:56Around China : LD.Watson commented on news US Companies Protest China’s New Tech Policy
This is not news. Simply another move in the cat and mouse game that has been going on since Nixon and Mao decided to jerk each other off some years ago. At Nixon's expense, in retrospect, given that the U.S. has since provided China with untold volumes of economic and technological aid to modernize the Middle ... Full Comment>>
