Apr 03,2014 21:05 comment|45093|275675

I was in the Guangzhou airport on 30th Mar waiting for my 6pm flight back to Chongqing. The wait lasted 9 hours due to the weather. I was one of the luckier ones because we finally caught the flight out. During the wait, the stranded passengers grew unruly but wasn't as bad as Shenzhen. Some of them pointed to those ...

How could their pay be withheld for so long? Railway projects are funded by the government and money isn't a problem. The only thing that results in this is embezzlement. So what's new? The trouble is that it's done at the expense of these migrant workers. They leave their families to work in these projects but were ... Full Comment>>

End of the day, what has that got to do with pigs' trotters for a start? You want to do a China bash, do it in an ... Full Comment>>

Would you like to define clean in this case? Does it mean a virgin? Does it mean that if she slept with her previous boyfriend it makes her unclean? That's absurd and chauvinistic don't you think? If that's your logic then you are guilty of dirtying all your previous girlfriends! MCP! Full Comment>>

The mainland Chinese male (I have to make this discrimination) is chauvinistic and will be for a long time to cone. We've seen it on our daily lives. They can visit bars, brothels, have mistresses and as many girlfriends as he wants. When it's time to find a wife, her dating history comes under tremendous scrutiny. ... Full Comment>>

I suppose it's the same as Malaysian durian compared to French cheese. Either you love it or hate it. I'd say the same for haggis in the UK.... Full Comment>>

The answer is simple. The US and Russia will always be at loggerheads with each other, even when they were allies during WW2. Immediately after WW2, they became hostile again with the erecting of the Berlin Wall. China should not be drawn into the fiasco by taking sides. There aren't benefits in that. If China were ...
