"In either the worst or greatest robbery attempt ever, a thief was caught in a villa in Yueyang," Yeah... if the thief was caught, then probably not the greatest robbery. Full Comment>>

Around China : Mateusz commented on news China to Experience Full-Blown Bachelor Crisis by 2020

Let's see where the blame will end up. Will they realize that the government forced families to only have one child, and that without government care for the elderly, families went with boys (who would be expected to earn enough money to take care of their parents, rather than culturally expected to be taken care of ...

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>>

Around China : Mateusz commented on news Korean National Basketball Team Blames Salty Hunan Food on Tournament Losses

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>>

Around China : Mateusz commented on news Can You Answer these Questions from China’s National Judicial Examination?

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.

Around China : Mateusz commented on news Foreign Businesses Can Get Certified to Deal with Chinese Tourists

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 them. Full Comment>>

"The foreigners enthusiastically thanked the Yibin police, giving them a thumbs up and saying “Chinese police are great!

Because in China, actual language ability, writing ability, and critical thinking are all meaningless compared to connections. 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.

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>>
