Nice story. Good to have a few like this around. Full Comment>>

This article is correct in its differences but lacks in explaining the reasoning behind them. Actually, many Chinese can't explain why they do things... they just attribute it to emotion or social norms. A Chinese person once asked me a question. Why do you write an address from smallest to largest? And I said: ... Full Comment>>

Hahaha.... this is ridiculous. Full Comment>>

Why didn't he just pay a girl to act? Or how about just not go home for Spring Festival? Nvm, what do I know... foreigners can't understand such a superior culture. Full Comment>>

Well, glad it said Romanians and not foreigners. Full Comment>>

I heard that Da Shan gave up his Canadian citizenship for Chinese citizenship... can anyone confirm this? If so... I can't believe someone would be that foolish as he will never truly be a Chinese citizen. Full Comment>>

@Guest(insert random number) Then don't read my posts? And people that post on the internet don't have lives? I bet I am doing a lot more with my life than you are. Full Comment>>

Hahaha... I think they recycled it with some changed numbers and perhaps a new picture. This site is Chinese managed you know. Full Comment>>

Would you be proud that your entire 12 year old class is smarter than you? But NOT because you made them smarter, because they are born in the information age and you (as a teacher) are holding them back because you are not qualified to teach the course you are given. Many teachers in China fall in to this category. ... Full Comment>>

"The teachers were also apparently worried that they would score lower on the exams than their own students" As they should be... most teachers in China are far dumber than their students and they KNOW it. Full Comment>>

It was be nice if they gave more details... and the verdict. This part especially worries me "were arrested without charge several months ago". So the Chinese government can arrest and detain you for seven months without formal charges and proof? Full Comment>>

Okay, and where is the government? Isn't there laws against randomly tearing down roads and bullying villagers? Oh right, I know where the government is... in the back pocket of the real estate company. Full Comment>>

Chinese grade quality assassin! Not only asks you how to do the job, but fails, gets caught and then turns in the client. Full Comment>>

Yup, I think this country has A LOT more to worry about than the spread of Western values. Actually, I am pretty sure in my country, someone would have helped this old guy and probably stand there to block traffic while calling an ambulance to make SURE he didn't get run over. You can call Chinese a lot of things, ... Full Comment>>

@October 1st - Did you miss the part where I mentioned ALMOST 10 years in China? Wo shuo le, wo zai zhong guo zhu le, shi nian le. Wo ming bai chun jie de shi hou, hen duo ren lai ta men de jia li. Zhe shi pu tong de. It is very crazy, I agree. Tons of people everywhere and many traffic accidents as well. Full Comment>>

I would like to summarize this entire article to some mystical knowledge my parents and teachers taught me in school. Mystical western cultural knowledge! "Watch your stuff, put valuables in inner-pockets and when someone is around your stuff (ie bag, luggage), watch them like a hawk." Thieves don't just ... Full Comment>>

Well, glad nobody got in a fight over being evacuated from the carriage. This is good news! Full Comment>>

You are right, I remember it pretty well. It was nighttime. And those brave lads were recording the hell out of the events like the true men they are~! One man and a bunch of women... scared off a half a dozen or so brave men! Very.... brave.... Full Comment>>

Yeah, journalism certainly holds a high standard here in China. Full Comment>>

You may be asking a bit much on the "functioning brain" part considering this article was meant for the masses of the mainland. Full Comment>>

This was NOT a pleasant read. And not because of the foreigners involved (well somewhat) but mostly how this article was blatantly one-sided. Foreigners don't like ANYONE who is not a part of the marriage (that's two people if you can't count) to push their way into the relationship and demanding attention or ... Full Comment>>

And the Chinese government is worried about the passing of Western values... Full Comment>>

In China... real love is built on Benz, iPhones, LV bags and BMWs. Have you ever wondered why most Chinese can't swim? It's cause shallow people stick to the kiddy pool! Full Comment>>

This is a huge load of crap. The average salary in CHINA is now 2000-3000 RMB. How do I know? Because I have lived and worked here for almost a decade. Only Chinese managers or salespeople make about 8k RMB per month. Full Comment>>

This is crap. Welcome to the 21st century.... Chinese officals. China needs a new government to help it move forward... and develop. Full Comment>>
