A recent article on this site stated that there are about 600.000 foreigners living in China now (meaning the ones that have settled down here, not the tourists). Now 200 have been deported. That's 0.33 promille of the foreign population. And it includes the ones that ripped off a tobacconist or rode their bike into ... Full Comment>>

I don't agree with you either.

We all experience lots of frustration here in China and have this site (among others) to vent them.

It is not surprising that once every while one of ... Full Comment>>
