It's still better than the USA. One of them would have been dead because he didn't drop his "weapon." At least both would have been prosecuted for something like insighting a panic.

I bet it was planned by the woman and her relatives. She wanted a divorce and devised a plan. It was one big con. Mr. Deng being a part of it.

I think it's supply side economics. Simple really. There are a lot of butts in public places here. I'm guilty of staring. It doesn't happen as often back home simply because the landscape just doesn't provide for it. You go to Las Vegas to gamble, and to China to see butts. Full Comment>>

One of my Chinese students got into a well-known university in my hometown. It made my blood boil because I flunked him. He didn't pass my business courses.
