Articles : 13david commented on news Only the Patient Expat Shall Pass: Rites of Passage in China

Yes that Squat toilet looks unused. I have managed to spend 16 weeks in China without using one . Is that a record? It's essential to get all your business over before you leave the hotel. My Chinese wfe and I have a standard argument over the "squat". She argues that it is hygenic. Not having to sit where others ... Full Comment>>

Articles : 13david commented on news 10 Ridiculous Reports Published by Chinese Media Recently

Jinping talking to a taxi driver. Must have been staged. Is he the new Chinese Kennedy? What would the proletariat know. Presumably they cannot "investigate any of these propositions. They are constantly in the dark and fed bullshit. All media is controlled by the "communist"party. If you want your mind really ... Full Comment>>

I agree with the more recent"choice" of topics. You'd think that the powers that be would have more clues as to topics of interest. Surely you don't have to be Einstein to figure out why so many articles receive so few comments. Lift your game Chinacities Full Comment>>

The universal spitting in China is just gross.I was just about to punch this one guy out for turning around in a restaurant and spitting on the floor near us!Also got a pic of him smoking under a no smoking sign.

Articles : 13david commented on news A Third Red Scare: Should America Fear the Rise of China?

Try again. As I was saying . China is a capitalist nation with a totalitarian government who aren't scared of the US or anyone else. Their history shows that they are ruthless and they like the look of world domination as the US has over such a very short period, historically speaking. Be afraid, be very afraid. Full Comment>>

I have travelled extensively in Southern China and even there in any city over a few 100,000, never saw a star and there was always the yellow smudge on the horizon. The optional extra of the face mask was off putting. I wouldn't care if i never visited Beijing [ don't 1000 new cars come on the road every day/ week] ... Full Comment>>

Two junk comments. Having been in both regions, I have witnessed the deep resistance to Chinese "occupation". You must realise that the communist[?] government's main aim is to stay in power and one of their usual weapons to deal with 'resisters' is line a few up against the wall and frighten the others[ basis of ...

I've found that to be true with my wife. I'm sending this message whilst she is out. Unfortunately you are right, even though my wife is virtually fluent in English, she has virtually no interest in the arts politics, religion, culture , you name it. We went for a 3 month holiday in Europe. Argued a lot. I loved the ... Full Comment>>
