A case of stolen identity 09:50am on 08 May 2009 dare I say the translated comments aren't even close to the typical ones. Are you trying to suggest Chinese are submissive to authorities without a sense of right and wrong, by hand-pick comments suppporting your view?
Defining relationships 11:36pm on 02 Apr 2009 “China and France released a joint communiqué in which France rejected Tibetan independence”
I'm not good at politics, but I thought France has no right to support nor reject Tibetan indepence, since Tibet is in fact part of PRC and China along has the sovereign rights over Tibet, no?
Maybe France can try to support Stockbridge-Munsee tribe in US, as the tribe is recognized as a sovereign nation while their lands are occupied by US. That sounds more fun.
The Deal 5:41pm on 03 Dec 2008 Where would World Bank, ADB and IMF get their statistics on China other than from Chinese government? Don't you know how GDP in China works. When central government release the economy plan saying 'we plan to have 10% growth next year', the plan passes on to local governments, and the next year local government will report back say "we just had 10% growth". that's how it is done.

How can you tell who is china-hater and who is not? as long as you admit you are hating someone, I shall rest in peace.
What do people in China do with a day off? 5:31pm on 01 Dec 2008 sounds fun. I've been living in Beijing for more than 20 years but I have done that once...
The Deal 02:02am on 29 Nov 2008 To No.61
Lies, damned lies, and statistics. People don't care about numbers, when they live in the aftermath of phony economy.

Hating westerners is a way to have some cheap pride and distract from the reality. Does it make your life better?
Update: Wo Weihan 7:47pm on 28 Nov 2008 I agree with No.11.

"China is a country run by law and ....was independently made by the relevant Chinese judicial organs." really? Since when have we had trias politica instead of three represents?
Rare insight 9:31pm on 27 Nov 2008 1.people say they believe in the justice system in China, only because they have no other choice.
2. The system is making progress, very slowly.
3. Intervene espionage cases by foreign influence will only harm the progress toward rule of law in china.
Chinese Democracy 9:21pm on 27 Nov 2008 "In the end which band will have the greater impact on China? The I think the ordnance band lead said well enough. For the question, Guns N' Roses will surely make a bigger fuss but the impact would be little if not negative. Many Chinese will just go against western intervention instead of supporting the cause. This is, to me, a distraction to achieve real Chinese Democracy.
The Deal 9:10pm on 27 Nov 2008 I don't think this is accurate. I think Tiananmen protest was exactly because the government couldn't deliver The Deal, i.e. Deng's reform was in trouble, and that was why students went on streets protesting peacefully. The new deal is: if the government still can't make people rich, the protests are not going to be peaceful.

Has James watched the 1995 documentary 'The Gate of Heavenly Peace' produced by Richard Gordon and Carma Hinton yet? If you haven't, please do.
Does history favour freedom? 9:40pm on 21 Nov 2008 People favor freedom, and CCP doesn't. So the answer lies in that is it going to be a powerful CCP regime or a strong China where people are not oppressed.
