Shanghaiist: The toughest motherf*cking interpreter in China

The Shanghai Daily story acts as though it is a translation of the Xinhuanet story. It has a link at the bottom to the Xinhuanet story that says "Chinese story link." So, if that is true (I, sadly, cannot read Chinese), it would seem like the discrepancies would be between stories that are all written in Chinese. So perhaps not the conspiracy some think it is?

Ah the realities of media bias. Sad.

sooo... it seems that english language media reports that it was all the Chinese guy. And some Chinese language media reports that it was the foreigners that started it, or that the foreigners were a major part. Seems like a great way to further promote distancing between the two groups.

I thought translating the phrase "douche bag" was difficult enough, I have to bring my prison shiv made out of hardened plastic toothbrush handle everywhere now?
