Well, Dominica is going to turn into Sanya #2, New Sanya or Xi Sanya in a few years. Hope they enjoy the money though! Full Comment>>

Yes, I meant that most likely they had metal detectors and the security didn't care... or that not having metal detectors wouldn't have made a difference. Full Comment>>

Oh man... not surprising... yet entirely embarrassing to the human race. If they give me a million+ yuan, I can probably come up with a better report with solutions than this... I bet many of you could too. Just embarrassing. Full Comment>>

Amusing... so when you think of it... companies can still sell cars, governments still get their fees and taxes but the people can't drive their cars on certain days because the government can't handle the issue. Why not just restrict car sales? Limit license distribution? Enact a law that states on certain days of ... Full Comment>>

I am pretty sure Hong Kong people don't want Chinese mainlander tourists. So mission accomplished. To be honest... I don't think any place really likes Chinese tourists... they are loud, poorly-mannered and treat each destination like it should automatically accommodate them yet their favorite phrase to tell a ...

I thought all clubs had metal detectors pretty much in China... Security was probably too afraid to not let them pass even if the detectors went off. Full Comment>>

Isn't wearing a Burka part of the Islamic religion? Extremists will use these bans to further fuel their cause even further... Full Comment>>

Isn't this how Mao got screwed over as well (except in export rather than import)? They reported high steel and rice production and then he found out that his subordinates had lied... So he shipped the rice anyway to avoid losing face and millions paid for it. Seems like a trend here... Full Comment>>

The youth of China saving it from its disgraceful elders. Yup, I saw that coming. Full Comment>>

Sure, it is a bunch of stereotypes and blanket statements but it is pretty much true. A lot of the hipster foreigners I know head to Beijing and the ones trying to get ahead in their career somehow head to Shanghai. Personally, I prefer neither. Full Comment>>

@zijun - I don't think it will be a war in the conventional sense... at least, not at first. Full Comment>>

Honestly, I truly hoped that there was a way that the Asian superpower (China) and the Western world could somehow co-exist and build forward. But it seems China is too xenophobic and horribly hypocritical. They take capitalism to boost their economy (which obviously isn't socialism or communism) and then when they ... Full Comment>>

Lol... photoshop skills really do pay off until someone sees you in person. Full Comment>>

"I'll be back." Stay original China! Full Comment>>

I find this "government" and the people of China focus far too much on foreigners when there are less than 0.01% of them in the entire population. It's not like back in Canada where JUST Chinese are about 6-8% of the Canadian population. They way they depict us in the media, you would think foreigners are ... Full Comment>>

@Lord Hanson - Agreed, Hitler totally over-extended himself. He also had tons of generals and people close to him that wanted him to fail and thought he was a mad man (which he was lol). He had better technology and a better trained army but got too greedy too fast. Full Comment>>

Yeah but if it is against a foreigner and they think they outnumber them... then that courage suddenly grows quickly. Look how nuts they got during that island dispute. Full Comment>>

He was like... "I do dis for the LoLz..." Full Comment>>

I have to agree. That's like 4-5 million USD per watch. Yeah right! Full Comment>>

Now that is awesome! They better cash in quickly cause after hearing how much they made... tons of village folk around China are going to be copying this... Full Comment>>

I am happy that Chinese are realizing the difference between quality and junk. This sort of mindset of "We want better" will translate into other areas. This means better customer service, better quality products and better food. People will now demand it and that's the beauty of capitalism. Full Comment>>

Sounds like you are doing well and making the best of the situation. China can severely test your patience and will especially if you had issues with messes, manners and organization. Good luck with your search for your next school! Full Comment>>

This is insane... Can you believe that most Chinese thought it was simply fog instead of smog? Do people realize that the increased usage of air purifiers will only increase the use of resources (coal, power, manufacturing) and INCREASE the pollution? If each person in China just planted a few trees, rode a bicycle ... Full Comment>>

That's pretty awesome. I like to see this kind of progress from China. Full Comment>>

I wouldn't even put it as "animalistic". Don't lots of animals bury and cover their waste? Cats, for example. Full Comment>>
