The Uyghir culture is completely distinct from the Chinese culture, as stated in the article. Whilst the Uyghirs are the biggest minority (majority) in Xinjiang, there are many others as well. Where I live, Kazakhs are more predominant. And music plays a big part for all of them (although there is less of it evident ... Full Comment>>

Frank and transparent dialogue... Nah, I don't think so. Publicity stunt for the benefit of the Chinese people.. Sure. Full Comment>>

What a dumb thing to do. 3 hours of hands and kneeing over all that spit and piss. Disgusting if you ask me. Anyway, what have the people got to be grateful for that can't be expressed with a thanks Mum, thanks love...or something like that? A bloody shower at the end would help a lot and I'd bet they'd be grateful ... Full Comment>>

I just don't care for Chinese beer. It's the classic example of love in a boat. But I drink it anyway. Too much of it, my wife says. Still, the pencil still works. Cheers! Full Comment>>

I just turned on CCTV News and was surprised to learn that only when the KMT and the Communists combined their efforts were the Japanese Invaders put right under the hammer and consequently thrown into disarray and forced down the road to defeat. Did anyone read about that in their history books? Full Comment>>

I was in Melbourne last week and am not surprised it's been considered so highly by the powers that be. But $7.30 for a mid strength beer at the footy might've cost it a point or so. At least you can still get a full strength drop in the members' bar. Full Comment>>

I reckon most Chinese men aren't worth a cracker. Most of them exist only to impress others by how far they can shove their hands up their own arse. And the funny thing is that this matters to the other Chinese people. What they truly need is a diversion. But that ain't coming any time soon. But it is coming. Full Comment>>

Is there much money in it? How much for a poke these days? Any showers around? Full Comment>>

I don't think most countries believe that. Sure, most Chinese believe it but only because of the way they they've been programmed. What concerns me is the speed in which they're setting up (potential) military bases in the Western Pacific. For me the 64 dollar question is how long before someone puts their foot down.

Blimey Charley......if Russian birds look to Chinese men for partnering up then that tells me a fair bit about Russian blokes. Chinese men, by and large, are not worth a cracker. Full Comment>>

Gees mate...you're into him/her. But I haven't read it so what would I know. Full Comment>>

The same. I mean, what's really real? Not much, if you ask me. But, we read it. Full Comment>>

I agree with both your sentiments. Full Comment>>

I've been trying to do that for 5 years. It's difficult, and quite a challenge. I'm prepared to admit that 95% of my efforts have resulted in failure. But I try nevertheless. You know, when a student hands me something that is actually English...I chubby up. Full Comment>>

Australian people do watch bad TV. I think that it's because people (generally) are stupid. I'm a person, so I admit I'm stupid. But not that stupid I watch bad TV. Full Comment>>

Another question might be... How many Chinese doctors are actually doctors? Full Comment>>

More conservative dress is noticeable in Xinjiang nowadays. Less music around, too. As someone married to a Han I must watch what I say, and to whom I am saying it. The eyes and ears are all around. Full Comment>>

No surprise here. China is the pits. And I feel sorry for some, but not all. Full Comment>>

I hear what you're saying. I don't think it's drawing a long bow at all to suggest that disenfranchised Chinese people could be sucked up into this evil 'death cult' (Abbottism). And not only Chinese Muslims either. Actually, it's not hard to believe that China has quite a few disenfranchised people. A couple of ... Full Comment>>

Yes Cow, I'm tipping the fault isn't hers. Full Comment>>

I never downvote but I did just then. So thanks wanker, you've turned me into a downvoter. Full Comment>>

HARR!!! Thank you, Robk. Yes indeed, the planet China hahaha. So where does that leave us then? Spose we need to holler for a Johhny Cab to get us the flock out. Full Comment>>

What a cool dude! Full Comment>>
