The "tape" represents everything that "traditional culture" and one Party control do not, so it must be made an example of... also I hope We Chat gets flooded with hundreds and hundreds of these videos until the Keystone or uh Kunming Cops choke on them. Full Comment>>

Around China : Benjamin321 commented on news Life-Like Robot Abe “Apologizes” to Chinese at Shanghai Exhibition

I think comparing him to Wumao's is a false comparison. Endless shame and guilt tripping of a culture for sins of a people and a culture that are but a shadow of today's world is not just in my opinion. How would it go? Abe issues a big apology, the Diet makes a resolution condemning the war acts, and the centuries ... Full Comment>>

Blogs : Benjamin321 commented on samferguson88 's blog Suzhou to Shenzhen: Nearly finished with my first year of teaching English

I respectfully disagree with the guest and here is why: Shenzhen is a very modern city, has a lot of Western convenience, benefits from developed city planning that gives it a lot of "Green" zones, and the winters are very very mild compared to the rest of China. I worked in Hangzhou for a couple of years and I am ... Full Comment>>

I do not think it is quite fair to say that Chinese or any people of the world make some of their judgements based on blind ignorance. Part of it may well be ignorance, however, part of it is a real rational judgement whether a good judgement or not. It is like Mark Cuban admitting if he sees a "black guy in a ... Full Comment>>

I tend to agree. I think the biggest thing to finding contentment in China is discovering the right city for you as a person. As well, it depends on your working conditions back home. A lot of expats fit certain types too. The talented and worldly sorts, the adventurers, the shut in nerds, and the outright social ... Full Comment>>
