I'm ok with not having access to certain areas. That's expected and normal. But this sign seems to be racist on purpose. As if the author went out of his/her way to make that their main intent. Why not just use the words, "Restricted Area" or "No Unauthorized Personnel?" Full Comment>>

Is Sun even a woman? Full Comment>>

of course it's an upgrade. I've seen more rich, fat, old Chinese men with a woman half their age. If she gets married to a man from the west, at least she can escape the pollution. I don't blame people for wanting to leave this shit hole. marriage is an economic decision, has been so for centuries. marrying for ... Full Comment>>

Awesome! I'm pretty sure that a lot of Chinese women would probably act the same way if put in Mrs. Chen's shoes. That says a lot about Chinese culture. Sometimes, I'm shocked at the assumptions my wife makes. I know she's half-joking, but sometimes if I do anything out of the ordinary, she makes a comment like I'm ... Full Comment>>

mach, Eh, the Chinese just think their cool now that they have an aircraft carrier. Have you noticed how their nationalistic pride has inflated drastically? God, what a bunch of HOT AIR! Everyone is riding the wave that's been trickling down from whatever's coming out of Beijing. I want to say, "Hey, Beijing, ... Full Comment>>

wtf. he didn't sue'em? seriously sounds like a tabloid story. Full Comment>>

Sad indeed. A pseudo-educated woman, yet completely dependent. She's barely functional without her mother. This is a handicap. If I were her employer, I would see this as a warning sign, a tell-tale sign of her actual capabilities as an employee. I would rather date a woman with a wooden leg! Full Comment>>

Just to reiterate what Robk said. It's okay when the Chinese do it, but the world comes to a slamming halt if a foreigner does it. For practical reasons, it makes living in China that much more problematic for foreigners. For example, how are you expected to get on or off a crowded bus without slipping into the ...

Fountain, That's bullsh*t! Hitler used the same tactics to gain support against the Jewish community. It's just flat wrong. Furthermore, you say, "it's their country." As if that justifies something? It may be their country, but it is also MY HOME. Millions of Chinese have migrated to MY country, but our ... Full Comment>>

A famous quote, "To make the simple things more complex is common place. To make the complex things simple, that's genius." Why does this need to be so complicated? Is someone in the government purposely trying to make this difficult in order to make themselves look valuable by figuring it out? Just do it ... Full Comment>>

Couldn't have said it better. In addition, assuming these foreigners were drinking, the Chinese reporter should have known what she was getting herself into approaching a partying group, foreigner or local. Of course they're going to say something inappropriate. I'm surprised it stopped there. It reminds me of a ... Full Comment>>

Guest2343106, It's not called "revenge". It's called manslaughter, and is punishable to the full extent of the law back home if you knowingly give someone HIV. Full Comment>>

Winter time easy fixes: 1) Grow a beard. 2) Have your wife or girlfriend order Swiss Miss hot cocoa with marshmallows or Campbell's chicken soup in bulk from taobao to have available. 3) Buy a coffee machine. 4) Spend 100 rmb on thermo underwear available on every street corner (it works wonders). 5) Cook the ...

Ok, sounds like he was either really drunk or he was pushed. Assuming there is some type of guard rail or other barrier on the bridge to at least keep the cars from flying over the side. Very strange indeed. Full Comment>>

Let's face it, there are problems with all of the banks listed above. It seems like every time I need to do something at the bank the bank teller stares at their computer screen trying desperately to understand how to do it. They need to train their employees better. If you have a special request that deviates from ... Full Comment>>

China restricts the free trade of its currency in order to offset the imbalance that other central banks cause by loose monetary policies. The WTO has complained about China's methods of trying to control interest and exchange rates. But it's no different than what the FED or the ECB does. They just restrict trade ... Full Comment>>

All I gotta say is, WTF! I've been to 100 weddings but never received such hospitality. Full Comment>>

I don't know what is more disturbing about this bogus survey. Is it the fact that more women find a safe sex partner rather than masturbate? Or, is it the fact that almost 1/3 of women surveyed would prefer their husband/boyfriend find a safe sex partner rather than masturbate? I think the answers coming from men are... Full Comment>>

It's very interesting that this is illegal. Especially since I know that my mobile phone number has been sold. Full Comment>>

What? This report doesn't make sense. A man jumped from the 10th floor and managed to escape? There's no way unless he jumped into the deep end of a swimming pool or something. Full Comment>>

Innovation is extremely important. Chuckberry did make a good point about modeling your business after an already existing successful business, such as Japan. In the US we have the phrase, "Fake it till you make it." However, it still requires innovation at some point in the future, some kind of ... Full Comment>>

In my home town, the sky is actually blue for more than 300 days a year. Where the hell is the blue sky in China. Homesick isn't really a problem until I run into a day where it seems like I'm dealing with a bunch of "special needs" children all day long. Just so happens that in China, that's pretty much ...

Well one things for sure, because China has such a large population, if you don't know where the Asian person is from, China is statistically a safe bet. Full Comment>>

@kikr, I'm sorry but what on earth is wrong with coming to China as a result of the economic crisis? I came here initially as a result of being laid-off from my government job back in 2008 because voters didn't approve of the budget. I've decided to stay because I started a family, but I could go back now that the ... Full Comment>>
