All forms of terrorism should be rooted out as there is nothing more cowardly than a guy (a group of) killing innocent people in the name of his/her/their the only correct idea (or culture ...). If any person starts to support/promote his/her idea by any terrorist act so this itself should be already a good reason ... Full Comment>>

Around China : gouxiong commented on news US Federal Agencies Crack Down on Chinese Birth Tourism

Dear RiriRiri, Let me point out that your statements contradict. On one hand you claim that majority (or at least big portion) of Chinese are nationalists and on the other hand you are convinced they would be happy to forget their nationality. I guess it's either or ... Coming back to you assumption that in case US ... Full Comment>>

Eorthisio, I agree with you that current Germany is probably one of the most democratic countries in Europe and certainly the least restrictive towards foreigners. In that sense Guest2239322 is totally wrong. However he/she simply overreacted over your more or less similar nonsense statement above. In any country ... Full Comment>>

Dear Robk, No, it's not OK. But if the child does the sex 'voluntarily' even though being pushed or maneuvered into the act so she may be under certain conditions considered being prostitute and then for such a crime the punishment is 5-15 years in the jail. However for the rape the current legislation says 3 years ... Full Comment>>

Yes, for sure - Christian were persecuted by Jews and later on by Romans. Both these civilizations are then also contributing to that 'judeo-christian ethics' you mentioned.

Interesting. I to certain agree with you about your ghost term theory but I apparently missed the point where you jumped to: 'laowai is actually an offense' part.

And I think the article is not bad for its purpose. China has about 1.3 billions inhabitants. In 2010 there were 685,775 registered foreigners - let's say it's currently 1.3 million.
