Ambivalentmace: well, at least you made some comment about the issue of CRIME and JUSTICE. Again, however, it is hardly productive to speak about what "Chinese say" . . . unless you add some sort of comment which indicates that you don't think all Chinese are incabable of being honest and fully actualized.

Again, my THREE QUESTIONS . . . . . . . . . Why do so many people in China not trust the police and courts and how can this problem be solved? Why do so many people in China think that another crime is good punishment for a first crime and how can that attitude be changed? Do you think the answer to the first two ...

Ambivalentmace. And why hasn't anyone commented on why it seems acceptable, in China, for a new article to refer to a person as foreigner. Now some might say that is racist.

What is it that you are struggling to make sense of Alexander. The article, about the man who scratched the cars, is clearly about an individual's over-reaction to a crime.

I have simply tried to keep the discussion focus on "crime" and justice" and not on details of Mr. Hale's life, or on politics (foreigners vs Chinese). The root causes of, both, Mr. Hales anger are made clear by the restaurant owner who understood Mr. Hale's anger. That root cause is the lack of RULE by LAW in ...
