Articles : Robk commented on news 5 Important Differences Between Beijing and Shanghai Expats

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>>

Articles : Robk commented on news New Regulations for Foreign NGOs in China Could Lead to Exodus

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>>

Articles : Robk commented on news Should Foreigners Be Treated Differently Under Chinese Criminal Law?

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 10-15% 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>>

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>>

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>>
