I know exactly the kind of backpacker the article is on about cause I've met them a few times. Most backpackers are fine but there are some who seem to believe that spending their gap year in the Far East makes them better than people who haven't had the same experience. It's like spending a week living in a yurt ... Full Comment>>

Funnily enough last week I could have made about 70yuan by being undercharged on two completely separate occasions. Both times I told them about their mistake and gave them the extra change they'd handed me back cause I see no reason to cheat people. Like you said, better to do that then try to visit revenge on ... Full Comment>>

Depends on the airport. Last week I spent more than 30 minutes trying to pass through transfer security at Guangzhou airport. Admittedly they did have all their desks open but 5 desks is really not enough for the amount of passengers they had. WiFi can also be an issue since they require sending you an SMS. If you ...

Usually that's not the fault of the airport though. It's caused by China not opening up enough air corridors. Full Comment>>

I'm sure the Porsche driver had been dreaming of this moment all his life (most of us guys do). He must have been really annoyed when he learned that it was just a domestic dispute and he wasn't going to become a national hero. Full Comment>>

You'd think that potentially annoying Shaolin monks would be pretty low down on people's lists of "Things that are a good idea to do" Full Comment>>

A bunch of them were posted on The Shanghaiist. Just do a search for naked woman tibetan holy lake and you should find them. Full Comment>>

The article is about overpriced products the Chinese buy. If it was about overpriced products that are popular globally, then it would definitely be on the list. Full Comment>>

Have you ever bought anything from any of the brands actually mentioned and not felt you were being ripped off? The author is spot on about Hagen Daaz being ridiculously overpriced when there is much better ice cream available. Full Comment>>

Not having WeChat if you actually live in China and use a smartphone is pretty silly. Full Comment>>

So I suppose despite the fact that the article says "a series of photos" the thought that there might be other pictures which weren't posted here never crossed your mind before you decided to have a go at the writer? There are indeed other pictures and she is indeed naked in them Full Comment>>

Eaten about half of these. Liked about half of what I ate. Full Comment>>

I said if you lose it. Not if you never registered in the first place. The whole point of registration is that the government have those details. If you lose your car registration you simply ask to have a new one sent to you. You'll probably have to pay a fee of some sort but that's it. Full Comment>>

Yeah, cause if you lose you car registration the government immediately impound your car and crush it, right? Full Comment>>

The same Trump who gets all his stuff built in China and praises them for being a strong government for Tiananmen Square. That Trump? Full Comment>>

I think it's already proved that this place is full of nasty bigoted racists. It's just that they try to justify it when it's about the Chinese. As soon as they start talking the same sort of crap about Jews, it becomes a lot more obvious what they really are like. Full Comment>>

There are a few cases (I think about 10,000) in total. Most of them via Hong Kong. It's rare but it does happen. Full Comment>>

Yeah, but I think cause I grew up with Top of the Pops I don't particularly care if she lip synced. Now if it was at a concert, where people had paid to see her live, that would be a different issue. As long as she's not doing a Milli Vanilli, it doesn't matter. Full Comment>>

Actually the best thing about this story is that Zhou got what basically amounted to a booty call from his wife's cousin and decided not only to not go, but to use the opportunity to set up a friend. Sounds like a lot more of a decent guy than his father-in-law tried to make him out as. Full Comment>>

Yeah, turned up hoping to get laid, instead got laid out. Full Comment>>

If they repeat the scam they will be. I doubt they're only going to do this once. But even if they don't, they haven't been divorced so as soon as they get married, they'll be breaking the law. Full Comment>>

Uber are a bunch of crooks who have caught being anti-competitive several times. I'm not going to feel sorry for them that the Chinese are simply better at it than they are. Full Comment>>

I'm pretty sure bigamy is a crime in China. Full Comment>>

I seem to remember reading elsewhere that the donations were returned. So the 8k is from her money. Full Comment>>

So a guy doesn't get paid, practices chemical warfare on his employers, gets paid. Why do I get the feeling a dangerous precedent has been set here? Full Comment>>
