OK, I will remember to treat 'guests' in my house as poorly as some people are treated in China. I also love the way you to dismiss personal experiences. Are you one of those so-called 'men' who thinks it is acceptable to sexually harass women? Just asking, because I notice you don't condemn when this happens. LOL, ... Full Comment>>

thanks for your reply - straight to the name calling again, whereas I can remain civil ! Kudos. I wait for your civil response - if you are capable of it.

I would like to ask you, why do you think it is ok for people to ignore the sexual harassment of foreign women on the street that occurs at a greater rate in China (to me it occurred every day in China DESPITE the fact that i dress a lot more modestly than local Chinese women) when compared to other countries. But ... Full Comment>>

of course personal experience of life in China as a foreigner is also valid. But then that does not matter does it, if it does not fit into the image China wants to portray to the rest of the world, does it? I'll help you out with what you want to hear - " China is the most wonderful place to live in the world. I ... Full Comment>>

never needed them before now, so why are they needed for a virus with a recovery rate of over 99% ? But then you want to be controlled and monitored.

Articles : sorrel commented on news ICBC’s Sexual Harassment Memo Sparks Controversy Among Chinese Netizens

The more serious problem is those in positions of authority who abuse their power to intimidate subordinates into sexually compromising situations. It is more likely the (male) manager will sexually harass young (female) employees, who will be intimidated into compliance. In any non-Chinese company I have worked in ... Full Comment>>

actually Chinese people, when they resort to violence, tend to stack the odds in their favour - rarely an even fight.

And this again, is something that i observed on more than 1 ... Full Comment>>

Rubbish. I have observed that the Chinese person is more likely to lose their temper and shout than the foreigner. More often than not the foreign worker will just keep making the same point.
