I think that the writer might have also gotten the name of the Shanghai Miss with the soul of a Red Guard wrong: She says "Suen," but unless the person is purposefully taking a non-standard romanization (well, non-standard from PRC perspective) for their names, I don't get how anyone could be named "Suen." Who knows? Cliched journalism is one thing, cliched and sloppy journalism quite another.

that article proves that you really should get over the jet lag before switching on your laptop. Very strange - Harvey's last line was 'Shanghai is eternally surprising.' What does that mean beyond being a journalistic cliche of the highest bollocks.

The most terrible thing about this article was not that the author wrote those things, but that it was followed by a contest to win tickets to fly to Shanghai.
