Articles : t91camp commented on news Sun, Sea and Surgery: Could China Become a Major Medical Destination?

Every third world country with a few government subsidized hospitals thinks it will be the next big medical tourism destination. Very few of them actually will, and China is probably close to the bottom of that list. Full Comment>>

Around China : t91camp commented on news Chinese Media Shifts Blame to Foreigners Over Boy’s Graffiti Gaffe in Egypt

At no point did I excuse the behavior, only retards scratch graffiti onto things like a dog pissing on a tree. But if anyone truly believes touristy Great Wall sections have as much value as Egyptian artifacts, then they need to get their head examined. Full Comment>>

Critical flaw in their argument: the Egyptian relic was a work of art, whereas the "Great Wall" is just a bunch of (frequently remodeled) bricks. Full Comment>>

^ Depends on which denomination you ask. Personally, I'd be more offended by the location of the statue, than the statue itself. Religious iconography as tacky bar decorations... Ugh. China needs better interior designers! Full Comment>>

Around China : t91camp commented on news Blasphemous Buddha? Sexy Statue in Lijiang Draws Criticism

Buddhism is Indian originally, but the Chinese think they invented everything. Many bodhisattvas are often pictured with their "consorts" in artistic representations (e.g. Vajrasattva). In Tibetan Buddhism, the monks often practice tantric sex with their students. Even Siddhartha Gautama had a child, according to ... Full Comment>>

They essentially say "television" as closely to the original as the limits of their language permits ... Full Comment>>

Mattsm84 hit the nail on the head. The official was blaming foreigners in a passive-aggressive way, and the fields which don't emphasize English are pretty useless.
