Sadly some Chinese are clueless drivers. In Australia we drive on the left side of the road and this is the result, a man in a wheelchair and the Chinese wife injured http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-08-02/tourist-escapes-immediate-jail-term-over-crash/7683916 The lawyer said: "He is a visitor to this country, ...

I don't know what all the fuss is about with sex. I tried it once and it wasn't that good. Seriously though, this story is not much different to Xtian fundies attacking sex education in US or Australian schools. It's always the progressives vs the conservatives. Full Comment>>

There are beautiful places in China and some are off the beaten to a pulp track. I went rafting in the mountains of Guanxi thru caves, past waterfalls and hardly a person in sight. Huangshan is spectacular but to wait for 2-3 to go up or down the chairlift even at 5 in the morning is crazy. Rule 1: Don't travel in ... Full Comment>>

Ok interesting but what survey, how many respondents? A good start, some Chinese recognise their own problems, the first step is awaremenss. I can just see the Chinese Anonymous meetings My name is Xiao Xiao Ting Ting and I am a(n incurable) Chinese .... Full Comment>>

They would only let him back if he prostrated himself to the CCP and signed a document that everything that the CCP did since they invaded Tibet was for the good of the Tibetan people. Incidentally I recently heard that Mao wanted the Potsala Palace blown up and only subtle intervention by Chou En Lai saved it. Mao ... Full Comment>>

undies with Chinese characteristics? Actually the wife is angry because the mistress has better underwear than she does (well newer anyway) Still it's good to air your grievances And one thing I love about China, there is always someone there to take a photo. Years later the mistress can look back and laugh at the ... Full Comment>>

My all-time favourite was for a confectionery shop. Obviously they lost their internet connection but they pressed on in naive, energetic Chinese fashion and put up a sign that said Translate Server Error. There's a massage shop that has a sign "Free yourself from the misery of existence". Full Comment>>

It's so great to see Chinese entrepreneurs beating the USA on the level playing field that is China today. Google, E-bay, Facebook, Youtube can only weep. Full Comment>>

what a bunch of cynics you all are spelling out love in hot dogs is ... well .... novel. I'm sure it's a one off. Next time it might be rice grains. Full Comment>>

I've noticed that China is full of rules but not many are obeyed. But they can use the extra rules to punish whoever they like (read no guanxi, no money). In the immortal words of the Bay City Rollers "some girls do, some girls don't, some girls need a lot of lovin' and some girls don't". Such genius in ... Full Comment>>

There are many similar stories in China. Read Mark Kitto's famous why I'm leaving China. If you get too successful they figure they can muscle in and take over and reap the profits but they always kill the goose. Have you ever know a country with so many laws that they arbitrarily enforce when the occasion suits? It ... Full Comment>>

China must have the most rules and regulations of any country but are they obeyed? but are they enforced? but can money circumvent them? Full Comment>>

Ok there's another side to this. Sure many schools look for a white face and a native speaker as the prime suspects but suppose the job ad read like this: Sausage Factory English or Joy-O-Joy Kids needs English teachers. Requirements: 1) native speaker 2) bachelor degree (verified with university) 3) Academic TESOL ... Full Comment>>

I was at a shopping centre last night and saw a vibrating board you stand on that "shakes" the fat right off you. You can watch Sex in the City while that happens. That would be preferable to their demo film which showed a fat guy before and after. Believe that and I'll sell you the Nanjing Bridge. The ... Full Comment>>

wealthy Chinese can't believe that money doesn't buy whatever they want, in this case Canadian residence. Their world is shaken. If you research more about this story you will find there was a lot of cheating going on. When the Canadian government investigated the real wealth of the Chinese immigrants they found ...

A Western teacher where I am currently working had a student who had leukemia and was hospitalised in bigger city. He planned to visit her and let it be known if others wanted to join him. Soon he was called into the department head's office and told that it was not a good idea for him to visit her. Being a ... Full Comment>>

great story thanks Katie I've been to the Reed Flute Cave Also I went rafting thru caves out the back of Nanning near the Vietnam border. Gulong Shan Valley is located 30 kilometers south of the town of Jingxi County. We had to walk a bit in the middle past a great waterfall too. Full Comment>>

You've got to be cynical here and say they didn't pay someone enough money so they got charged with corruption. Foreigners can't beat the Chinese at that game anyway Actually China is smart and wants to develop homegrown industries and restrict foreign companies in any way they can. Full Comment>>
