How can you say that there is Christianity for the Chinese when they leave out the whole "Jesus thing". All this article shows is that you have no idea what you are writing about. It is like teaching Buddhism but leaving out the whole Buddha thing. Full Comment>>

You do know that vegan and vegetarian are different, don't you, so why put vegan in the title and write only about one aspect of it. Full Comment>>

Now, how about the complimentary article of how "western" dishes are absolutely destroyed by restaurants in China. Food is produced to local tastes, it is not an example of stupid foreigners cannot cook our delicacies correctly. If you go to any country you should not be surprised that they cook food the ...

Driving in the wrong lane, speeding, failing to stop at a red light or a pedestrian crossing are occurrences I see every single day, sometimes in front of traffic police. What I never see is the police doing anything about it, and don't get me started on ebike riders. Most of those get on their bikes in the morning ... Full Comment>>

there are exceptions to the rule here but generally Chinese people are amongst the most materialistic, shallow minded people I have ever met. the seemingly empty luxury stores here are not renting shop space in high end malls out of some kind of philanthropy, they are making money, either by in store sales or by ...

The police had no idea what to do, what a bunch of cretins. If she had pulled that one in England she would have been detained at the police station until they could assertain the level of alcohol in her blood. Police here really are a bunch of incompetents. Full Comment>>

They can do this, they just cannot be bothered. If someone gats a fake LV or whatever that is no threat, but dissent is a whole different ball game. Full Comment>>

Billionaires according to what currency, and if we compare per head of population it may well show a different picture. China has the largest population for a single country in the world, is it any wonder that they have a lot of this or that. If anything is surprising it is that they do not have more, when all the ...

So a Chinese female student asks an older male to take her exam for her and expects to get away with it. How dumb is she? Full Comment>>

The stall is often jammed with people waiting for pancakes but she only manages to sell two hundred a day. This story does not sound right. why is she on the street selling fast food rather than doing something related to her art history and business studies. Full Comment>>

Sorry, double post. Full Comment>>

I remember months ago talking to a group of university students at our English corner about boyfriends/girlfriends. These students were all about 21 or 22 and medical students, so presumably not too stupid. All of them said they had no partners but all wanted one. I asked the guys what they wanted from their future ... Full Comment>>

I suppose he could always put up a sign saying "Historical monument under construction". Chinese have no sense of culture or history and always think new is automatically better. People like this really are barbarians. Full Comment>>

I feel really sorry for the poor driver having to sit in this car time and time again while the car did all of these terrible things. Take the car away and crush it to save the poor man any more suffering. Full Comment>>

If Guangzhou is rated as the third best I never want to go anywhere near the lower rated ones. Gaungzhou has got to be the worst international airport I have ever been through. Full Comment>>

He may be a professor at one of the top universities in China but he has totally lost me on this one. How can you seriously claim China to be meritocracy when so much has, and still does, rely on connections and money. How many times have we heard of people being given posts because of who they know, or buying rank ... Full Comment>>

This is what happens to a lot of Chinese students when they are required to think and analyze a subject rather then just remember what the teacher tells them. Full Comment>>

I do not work as a teacher but some of my friends here do but I have never yet come across this negative attitude from other ex-pats towards ex-pat English teachers. I have come across this attitude from quite a few Chinese. They seem to view English teaching as little better than a way of keeping the kids occupied ... Full Comment>>

In a country that has twenty percent of the worlds population it only surprises me that they haven't been number one in takings before. However I would take more notice when China starts to produce movies that the rest of the world want to see, rather than just Chinese audiences. It would also be interesting to note ...

It is about time they started to give the full five years to morons like this. Full Comment>>

If we accept the notion of China and all the rest this article is saying that the rest all act the same. In that case it is surely China out of step with the rest of the world and that does not mean China is better. How long will it take for this insecure, childish, xenophobic, badly behaved nation to catch up with ... Full Comment>>

Great, even more chance for the people of the middle kingdom to show the pinnacle of 5,000 years of civilisation. Where is that nice cabin crew member, I have some coffee I must throw over her. Full Comment>>

Italian cuisine is one of the best in the world. Far more tasty and healthy than some of the rubbish I see served here in what should be high-end restaurants. This is more a case of third world peasant mentality with a large bank balance. As Puffudder said you can't buy class. These women were obviously out of ... Full Comment>>

This makes me ashamed to be British. For Gods sake grow a pair and insist on truly free elections just like Beijing agreed to in 97. Full Comment>>
