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>>

There's a band in Beijing called 重塑雕像的权利 (found them thanks to this site) so I don't think long names are totally unprecedented! Full Comment>>

Well this makes news in China, and Chinese people killing infants and children make news in America. I'd rather be stereotyped along with the dumb drunk kids! Full Comment>>

If all foreigners in China are thieves, then all Chinese in China are baby killers. I'd rather be a thief. Full Comment>>

A good, moral, pure Chinese woman would never take her clothes off for free! Full Comment>>

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>>

Buddhism is Indian originally, but the Chinese think they invented everything. Many bodhisattvas are 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 ... Full Comment>>

When the police won't/can't enforce the laws, the people will shame each other into following them... Sounds good to me! Full Comment>>

I'm sure the people of Guangdong have eaten far worse than this! Full Comment>>

It's kind of ironic that the Chinese government makes it pretty difficult to immigrate to China, when most of its citizens want nothing more than to emigrate. Full Comment>>

A guy with a résumé like that made the mistake of calling Uyghurs "Turkish"? Sigh... Full Comment>>

He must have forgotten a red envelope or two. Full Comment>>

Well it's certainly not the foreigners in China who created the culture of guanxi, bribes and extortion. I'm sure any similarities it shares with what we know as the Red Cross are in name only. Full Comment>>

It's not the Red Cross that's corrupt, it's China. That much should be obvious. Full Comment>>

Great. I'd bet money that the Chinese mob mentality will once again blame all foreigners for this. Full Comment>>

Great list, thanks. Would love to see more like this. Full Comment>>

If you're eating out, everything probably has meat all over it anyway because they don't really care about vegetarians, let alone sanitation. That said, you're right that most vegetarians don't eat properly, so this is a good guide for that! Full Comment>>

Definitely, her collar is exactly the same. The left part of the pic is that ugly woman who went viral for for having extremely high standards when looking for a husband. I'm guessing it's related somehow, like "maybe if she looked like this she'd be successful" or something. Full Comment>>

@Guest350516: I do know why the Japanese use Katakana. I was not referring to their use of Katakana as evidence of their language's growth, but their use of a word which is very similar to the one used globally. They essentially say "television" as closely to the original as the limits of their language ... 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. Actually, most traditions are pretty useless in today's increasingly globalized and competitive society, and that isn't limited solely to Chinese ... Full Comment>>

So once again we have a party member telling Chinese people to be more proud, and blaming foreigners for Chinese people's own failures. How is this news? Full Comment>>

"Elected" lol Full Comment>>
