Articles : DaqingDevil commented on news Disciplining China: Positive Reinforcement is Only for Officials, Not Children

It's encouraging to know that there are Chinese citizens out there that question the actions of the government. Unfortunately they know his name now and he might be in for a dose of that discipline in a place where "chopsticks on the head" will help him think a little more clearly. It's people like this guy that ... Full Comment>>

Well if the government was ever looking for a reason to allow pornography into the country this is it. Advertisements like this would soon be considered tame once the 'real' stuff was being watched. Masturbation mania! Bring it on! Full Comment>>

Around China : DaqingDevil commented on news Two Security Guards Get Dummies to Do Their Jobs for Two Months

It's hard to say anything really humorous about the fact that security guards can use dummies to do their job. Think about it. For 2 months the people thought the dummies were security guards - for the other 10 months they thought the security guards were dummies!!! Full Comment>>

Articles : DaqingDevil commented on news China’s International Image and Influence: What Foreigners “Really” Think

And all this statistical analysis means....just what? The article has selected the two extremes as examples of a love / hate relationshipa couple of countries have with China. It would have been interesting to see how the figures came out from countries like the USA, Australia and the UK. The problem with the survey ... Full Comment>>

Well let's hope the tiger doesn't end up the same as we read about in the story regarding the Harbin woman and the tiger skin. Sad way for a long term employee to finish up but I guess a wild animal is a wild animal even if born in captivity. Full Comment>>

Articles : DaqingDevil commented on news More Than Just Pointing: How to Order in a Chinese Restaurant

Good article actually. Unfortunately, lazy buggar that I am, I still only go to restaurants that have the pictures of the menu on the wall. So I am a pointer but know enough Chinese to yell for service, order cold beer, ask for the bill and the toilet location. The simple man's guide to China! Full Comment>>

There is no doubt that in the minds of all foreigners the holiday system in China is really amazing.....amazingly crazy that is. With such a huge population there is no thought given to the fact that everyone is forced to take holidays at the same time creating these mass, mind boggling, migrations of more people ...

Around China : DaqingDevil commented on news China Drafts Regulation to Ban Smoking in Public Places

They can make as many laws as they like to make them look good in the eyes of International organizations but enforcing them is a whole new cultural shift. Not sure how a policeman with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth goes about booking a person that is caught smoking in a non-smoking area. However, that's what ... Full Comment>>

While I don't disagree with some of the things you say, particularly about the psychology or mind set of Chinese business people, I will also point out that you are writing from the viewpoint of a young professional who did not like ESL teaching. Let's face it, that was the job that got you out of the USA in the ... Full Comment>>

Lucky none of the condoms hit any car windows I say. Cracked windscreens all over the place. I suggest the address be given to the girl in the HIV story so she can stock up on condoms - used ones will be better than none at all! Full Comment>>

In answer to the article - yes I dare! I can't see me changing my normal way of life in such a situation if I thought a person needed some help. I would be happier helping though if I looked up and saw a security camera nearby which would be hopefully recording the action! Honestly, is this the only country whose ... Full Comment>>

I guess that might be a reason we have so many restaurants and hairdressers. If it's difficult to gain any satisfaction or get motivated working for a boss then become a boss yourself.
