I find this article to be poorly written in some ways but it does contain some useful advice. One thing that really sticks out as poorly written is the following; Obviously, if you pull a runner and leave without notice, your employer is likely to withhold your last month’s salary as a penalty for breach of ...

Is it true that GW Bush was appointed by the Communist party for policy development on dealing with the general public? Full Comment>>

Is the 80% capacity based on actual space? As in there is only 20% of land area available for people to occupy? Does the figure also account for buildings, benches, and any other thing which also occupies the land or is it simply based on actual land area? Full Comment>>

Actually, this was disproved by a Chinese student last week. Most of his research done, was gotten from The Onion. Full Comment>>

What documentary! ;) Full Comment>>

It surprises me that whoever translates these articles hasn't learned yet that we are going to make fun of the articles (usually because the translation is done poorly). The summaries are usually not done well in any regard. I wish they would hire me to write articles for them. I think they would be more interesting ... Full Comment>>

I like the scam where they advertise 4000 AUD a month with an immediate start date and when you contact them they want to give you a job which pays far less or the job is only for one month in June. Or the one where they advertise a job which doesn't exist and get you to their office and talk about teaching kids ... Full Comment>>

10,000 Yuan a month, man I need to stop looking at all those Teach English at a famous school ads which pay 4500. Full Comment>>

None have registered with them? Why, why is that? Why? I don't understand why. (winky, winky, smiley, smiley, chuckle, chuckle.) Full Comment>>

Well she did an excellent job of planning this birth didn't she? She didn't have to pay a hospital to assist. Full Comment>>

I think the real problem here is misinformation. Not misinformation from the article, but misinformation given to the 75 or 26 year old. My students used to Baidu (as in Google, a verb) information for classes. Many times they would end up on Blogs with bad information or they would ask a classmate. Usually the ... Full Comment>>

Well not video games! Now they can be bought here! I hear they are now developing new China only games. One with large mechanical vehicles protecting the trouser legs building against an angry mobs of zombified citizens aged 17 - 24. Full Comment>>

Wow, his bar is a replica of a Chinese aircraft carrier, to show his political views. He obviously supports the view that the islands are China property. I am somehow missing the reasoning to cut him off, when he is supporting the Chinese view on this. So as a patriot, he is told to stop being a patriot, ... Full Comment>>

I hear that as another benefit to society Chongqing will also ban bicycles as they have proven that riding them contributes to physical exercise, which also releases CO2 at a higher rate than sitting at a desk doing nothing. More citizens are encouraged to sit at desks to avoid creating any more stress on the ... Full Comment>>

And there are KTVs to sing in, he could have gone to one to practice his singing, so he could woo another. (winky winky, smiley face.) Full Comment>>

I think that if they only got 33K, they were not that well connected. It is actually common practice for the police to mediate in many situations, to avoid court. It serves it's purpose, even if it is abused in some ways. In the end the company could have refused the mediation and simply went to court over it, this ... Full Comment>>

Can he post pictures on WeChat from the Big House? At least this way he can stay in contact with his girlfriend. Good luck to them both. Full Comment>>

I find this very hard to believe. I think this must be a mistake, this never happens here in China. Full Comment>>

Not even a store, a market, and markets are fairly common in regards to Chinese culture. I have been to plenty of them and I know how it works! There are times I go to simply bargain, not to buy, kind of like a sport! Full Comment>>

I don't believe they actually sell individual computers in Silicon Valley, except at Best Buy. How can he equate a market to a place where inventions happen. That is not quite logical. I don't have a PhD, but I can even understand the simplistic difference of the two! Maybe I can trade my MBA in for a few PhD's here ... Full Comment>>

It is the employees document. I actually just spoke with someone who works for the PSB and they told me they have ordered companies to give the FEC to the employee. Companies don't want you to have it as you can actually cancel the document yourself. If you do, it does make it a bit harder to get a new one, but it ... Full Comment>>

Lost 1 Mil RMB? Was that profit or outright loss? At outright loss it is 167 phones if the price used is 6000. As in 1,000,000/6000=166.666666666 I am not good at maths either though. (That is why I used the calculator.) His real problem was holding on to them and simply not selling them right away. He should have ... Full Comment>>

I can't agree with all of this. I live and work in HZ and I do get paid more than 20,000, my classes are 40 minutes, not back to back for the same class (normally). I do have different classes during the next period. I don't have many office hours this year, but that is supposed to change next year as they want us ... Full Comment>>

You can call abroad and while you are abroad, but the service has to be activated. If you are calling the US it is cheaper to simply get a Magic Jack and the Magic Jack app for your phone. For $100 US you can call as much as you want to the USA and Canada for 5 years. Remember, you can always use Skype for toll-free ... Full Comment>>

An April Fool's Joke, I doubt it. An individual who has access to this compound would know the dosage, or should know the dosage and effects of it. I am a big fan of having lenient laws which progress for repeated offenses, each time much more severe. I am also a fan of the death penalty, as some crimes must have ... Full Comment>>
