Curious convoy 1:36pm on 17 Nov 2008 James, your logic once again surprised me:D Maybe next time you think the convoy was used to transport Marsians to area 51???
Filming me, filming you 2:34pm on 15 Aug 2008 I have to say I find it quite amusing reading James' blog day by day, some truth, mostly lies. I completed agree with Themercifulone and most people here, but somehow I don't blame James though, I feel what James says and reports are tightly controlled by people from higher level in BBC to defend the western ideology, making sure they stand firmly aside of their boss-USA. Anyone with half a brain knows the deal with reports on China and Russia. Most british I know are highly intelligent and not easily fooled by the media, so my dear Chinese friends, take it easy, don't get too serious with Chinese-basher, "meh, just another SB foreigner".

btw, let the Tibetan say what they have to say, some caucasions want the tibetans to go back to Dalai Lama slavery era, oh well, there's a country called India to fulfil your slavery dreams:)
Creating our Olympic map 10:03am on 30 Jul 2008 Hi Ollie,

You might want to add:

1.Beijing Opera theatre, the "egg" (I think thats what they call it locally) onto the map, its just right next to Tiananmen Sqr and it looks impressive at night.
2. "The finance street" at the western side of the 2nd Ring where all the banks and funds are, great buildings and shopping area
3. Around the People's stadium are the "San Li Tun" where all the bars and pubs are. Also "Hou Hai" is the other place where you can find hundreds of bars and pubs
4. Linked-Hybrid by Steven Holl is pretty impressive too situated at the north-east corner of the 2nd Ring.
5. The great wall
Good job mate!
National sentiment 2:52pm on 16 Jul 2008 James, are u trying (again) to make some sense by your "psych analysis" after being in China for... 1 year? Having seen your primary school science projects on Beijing air quality, it comes to no surprise that u r still defending your poor judegement and so-called journalist ethics. This is getting hilarious. I wonder how would you call yourself in 30 years when you look back what you are writing. They call it "SB" in Beijing.
Pollution problem 2:43pm on 15 Jul 2008 This is disgraceful James
Queuing Day 2:43pm on 11 Jul 2008 laodan,
Being as 'educated' as you, what do you think about britain's image overseas?

not as good as you think
Capping emissions? 04:08am on 10 Jul 2008 James, when most comments under most of your articles criticise your reports, maybe it's time to sit down and reflect?
Testing pollution levels 00:43am on 10 Jul 2008 Peace_4_all
u have a typical british "I'm the best" ideology which Im not surprised. I hate Xinhua just as much as you do, but it doesn't mean that all of its reports are fabricated (except I can read Chinese and u can't). Medically, we identify people like you as "splitting" - making world into black and white. I don't see why people cannot compare different media in your so called "free speech" Britain? I wonder, any of your perspectives actually from real life experience or just all from your local media? If latter, then no point wasting my time discussing things you only see on TV. I'm sorry if the comment torched your royal nerve.
Testing pollution levels 00:27am on 10 Jul 2008 Ringsting-iom and flying chumpino,
To answer your questions, having born in beijing and been to london quite a few times, I guess I have quite a good idea in terms of the comparison of the two. In terms of the evidence, I don't know whether you have read the reports on tibet and the photo of an ambulance being labelled as "chinese policeman trying to capture activist into the car" and btw, where were the chinese supporters during torch relay on BBC? coz im quite sure that the number was bigger than that of free tibet group yet most coverage was focused upon the tibetans, and the list goes on... You don't think its biased simply because you cannot read news in another language.

In terms of the air quality, talking about respiratory infection with the personal experiences is absolutely meaningless. If you want to argue, then do a proper randomised controlled trial on respiratory infection incidence b/w the two cities. If there's no scientific evidence, then don't talk. Too often, those never been to China, like you guys, examine this country from a cross-sectional aspect, getting a snapshot from the western media and make up your judgement. Yet, few observe its development in a dynamic way.

The bottomline is, a journalist is responsible for a fair and objective coverage on a particular matter, NOT a primary school investigation and foolish conclusion
Testing pollution levels 10:50am on 08 Jul 2008 Send a photo and you will try to feature as many as you can? or you only feature the bad ones? It would be equally "suspicious" if Xinhua China carried out a air pollution test in London for a week and concluded that the air quality is bad with a few numbers and pictures. Many baseline factors could contribute to the potential inaccuracy of the report namely seasonal variance, time of the day, measurement devices and photoshops etc. I have certainly seen far more polluted photos of Beijing than clean ones recently from BBC and CNN, which in reality the air quality has improved dramatically over the past 3-4 years (if you have been to Beijing 4 years ago). I think BBC has long lost its credibility ever since your biased report on Tibet with the infamous photo quoted. If one was to measure the air quality, it would have to be a third party to avoid research bias. Oh well, you will swallow your own words once Olympic starts and people see with their own eyes. btw, what does Britain gain from antagonising China constantly anyway? Haven't you got enough enemies around the world for your arrogance? I wonder how many centuries it will take for the western media to report anything good about China?
