The police will fine a taxi for stopping to pick up a fare near some intersections, but it's perfectly ok to pass up cars on a small street in a business and primary school area when the school is letting out for the afternoon. Full Comment>>

Nothing if the pig is a pet. If your point is that it isn't acceptable to eat any living creature, then I get it. But throughout history pigs, cows and chickens have been raised for food.

Last year I was in northern XuZhou, in a county. The large Su Guo mall sold dog meat in those fancy boxes. And on my route to school, there was a man who sold fresh dog meat most days.

In a country that holds on to the failed tradition of arranged marriage, letting parents choose a marriage partner for their kids, they can only expect more divorces. My wife was, and 2 of her sisters are in unhappy marriages, always in arguments with the mother-in-law, and even physical abuse from the husband, ... Full Comment>>

Well I agree with t91camp. I'd be very surprised if Zhang ShuHua can speak English. Maybe sour grapes because he couldn't learn, or his kid or grandkid couldn't go to his desired foreign university. The real problem is putting so much stress on the kids because of the country's obsession with creating smarter kids ... Full Comment>>
