Good on them. I, for one, am sick of all the foreigners throwing trash on the street, pooping and peeing on sidewalks and streets (or letting their children do the same), smoking indoors where it's forbidden, and illegally parking, unlike our civilized Chinese people. Full Comment>>

But Chinese food is the most healthy and delicious food in the world. It's not like foreign food, that is only hamburger and salad. Besides, it has 5,000 years. I don't know how that impacts the flavor or health benefits, but saying that something has 5,000 years somehow means it is superior. Full Comment>>

It's always a man expected to risk his life to rescue one of two women, but never a woman asked which man she'd risk her life to save. It's reminiscent of when boyfriends were expected to cover their girlfriends' bodies with their own in the Colorado theater shooting. Nice to know whose lives are the ones that matter.

What does the training entail? Suppression of gag reflexes (necessary to deal with hygiene with Chinese characteristics)? More patience than Jesus and Buddha combined to deal with tourist behavior? At least it can be made public which hotels are "China ready", so that civilized tourists can know to avoid ... Full Comment>>

"The foreigners enthusiastically thanked the Yibin police, giving them a thumbs up and saying “Chinese police are great! Thanks for your help!”" Yeah, that totally sounds like what you would expect from Chinese police. Doesn't sound like a staged PR stunt at all. Totally matches my experience with the ...

"“I feel that punishing girls in this way is inappropriate,” said school administrator Xie Tong." I feel that sexism is inappropriate. Not saying that I support this type of punishment, but I don't want males and females to have different punishments Full Comment>>

Here's what's going to happen, if not what's already happened: The Chinese tourists will flaunt laws and common decency (littering, smoking everywhere, public urination, public defecation, being loud and obnoxious, spitting, etc. All the behavior we're used to in China), local (who will be called ...

Danish woman hitch hiking: "Stupid laowai don't follow the laws! It's illegal to walk along the road!" Chinese people running red lights/parking cars on sidewalks: "Don't complain you don't understand Chinese culture everyone does it don't judge you stupid lawoai!" Full Comment>>

"The author fails to mention that Chinese who study abroad come out bilingual with strong writing and critical thinking abilities and have more freedom in their education." Because in China, actual language ability, writing ability, and critical thinking are all meaningless compared to connections. Full Comment>>

Anyone else notice the change in the story from "boyfriend" to "ex-boyfriend"? I wonder what brought upon the breakup. After all, she sounds like a keeper, so rational and mentally sound. Full Comment>>

The mother is friggin' scary. She had no reason to suspect rape, but just was willing to have the man in prison because she didn't approve. Thankfully, the daughter had enough decency to tell the police the truth... the really scary thing is she had been embarrassed by being caught, or didn't want her mom angry at ... Full Comment>>

"A flight attendant got on the loudspeaker and told all women and children to go to the rear of the cabin, and ordered the men to stand up and use luggage to block the aisle." Yeah, China totally values the lives of men over women... that's why the women were instructed to save themselves, and the men were ... Full Comment>>

I would agree, but I'd need to see conclusive, non-biased sources. Either way, even if it was in feudalism, that doesn't justify invasion any more than conquistadors could claim that brutality of the Aztecs (human sacrifices, for one) justified Spanish colonies. Full Comment>>

The phrase is about hypocrisy, like you calling someone immature. As I take my work seriously, it doesn't apply. You probably are sure of that, as you tend to live in your own reality, however, I never said that. Feel free to crawl about on the answers section to try to find evidence that I did. Otherwise, I'll ... Full Comment>>

What's this? Audi driver in China is a self-entitled douchebag and bully? Who would have guessed? Full Comment>>

The kid, or the driver who decided to park his status symbol on the sidewalk? Full Comment>>

Chinese parents... helping spoiled children grow into spoiled adults. So, Chinese parents are raising their kids to never think about anyone but themselves, to be irresponsible, lazy, and unmotivated, well after they are supposed to be mature adults and supposed to be starting their careers... and these same parents ...

If you're a member of the clergy because you want to get rich, then you're doing it wrong (either you picked the wrong job for getting wealth, or you're managing to get wealthy, in which case, you're probably not adhering to the ethics of your religion). Full Comment>>

So... happy "China getting its ass handed to it, largely due to infighting during the civil war, and Mao being good a guerrilla war tactics, but not field battles, until the rest of the Allied forces defeated Japan's only major allies, and then the US dropping nuclear bombs on Japan, after essentially bringing ...

But... but, unlike immoral foreigners, Chinese take marriage seriously and have strong traditional values, especially Chinese women. Full Comment>>

In China, it's more like urine pools tainted with water. Full Comment>>

Never underestimate the ability of Chinese drivers to crash vehicles. Full Comment>>

Totally useless law enforcement personal... no wonder there is so much chaos (cars parked in the middle of the street, crowds trampling people to death, domestic violence fistfights in public). Full Comment>>

Or maybe he does not like abduction. When women report being abducted to the police, we don't assume she must be lesbian. Full Comment>>
