Nowhere does it say that HK and Singapore are 1st and 2nd, just that Beijing and Shanghai are above them. Full Comment>>

Chinese people will admit that they barely study or learn anything in university, and that their professors barely teach anything. It would be much better to implement this in high school. Full Comment>>

Mostly good points, except "Chinese students have caused universities to lower standards. " University standards have been lowered for many reasons, such as the exponential increase in college admissions over the past few decades and affirmative action, to name a couple. Full Comment>>

That's China. Full Comment>>

Traffic rules being "enforced" by volunteers, instead of actual police. Way to go China. Full Comment>>

This is why iphones are better for China, the itunes app store is not blocked and works just the same as when I was in America. No need for vpns, switching sim cards, or third party app stores full of spyware. Full Comment>>

While waiting in line at the roadside train ticket vendor, I saw a Chinese guy walk up next to the first guy in line. I had woken up early in the morning and was second in line. After the first guy got his tickets, the guy stepped in front of me and shouted his ticket order to the ticket seller. I lost it and just ... Full Comment>>

Thanks, I'll probably elaborate on my story in future blog posts, but in short I work with technology across different fields and my boss found me online because of my major in university. Full Comment>>

I don't disagree with what you said. But like I said, I'm only interested in a scientific defense of TCM. I won't defend TCM on TCM terms. TCM may be broad, but I'm optimistic that science will be able to explain it (the ones that have an explanation of course). Also, besides oral and topical medicine, what other ... Full Comment>>

The story of aspirin is just like some Chinese medicine. Find something that works through trial and error, and then science will catch up to explain it. I wouldn't be surprised if the ancient Greeks thought that the pain-relieving white powder was magic powder from Zeus. Full Comment>>

""Traditional Chinese Medicine" in the title CLEARLY implies the field of medicine, not a single plant." That's exactly right, so what's your point? The "single plant" in the article is just one TCM, as I already stated at least four times on this blog, but you seem to have problems ... Full Comment>>

"In the article you refer to one herb as "TCM"". No, I clearly said that the article describes how "one" TCM works. Other TCM works in other ways as I already described. Thus "A" scientific explanation of TCM. Basic grammar should tell you that there could be other explanations. Full Comment>>

"It said that a certain herb has a certain effect, namely (lowers fever temperature) and goes on to explain why." Bingo! The article explains the science behind why an herb used in TCM is effective. Were you seriously expecting the article to discuss the effectiveness in terms of qi and yin? What part of ... Full Comment>>

Actually I think some TCM probably is a lie, so tell me what kind of TCM apologist does that make me? Full Comment>>

Now you're just spouting nonsense which has no relation to the topic at hand. In the article I linked, the effects of one TCM were proven in the lab. It makes no difference whether the people who take it believe in "magical food fairies" or not. The point is some TCM has health benefits that can be proven ... Full Comment>>
