As if many of you can read the chines press at all. if it were not for translations by bloggers, so many things would go unnoticed. Come to think of it. much of it probably still is given the limited scope of the chinese media most have here.

@paintingrainbowsblack "the so called cowed suppressed censored Chinese press doing its job." Doing its job? Insofar as it occasionally gets it right? You express surprise at the fact that the Chinese press reported the story at all, and then, you try to defend them against western criticism in the same breath.

This was exposed by the Chinese press, thats the real story, the so called cowed suppressed censored Chinese press doing its job. As for comtemptible, its obvious the Chinese are following the footsteps of westerners. Whats a pity.

This football scandal is only one more example of the duplicity and corruption endemic in China. At least these "ring-ins" didn't actually poison anybody with melamine. They just followed the traditional way, enshrined in the Chinese Olympic tradition of breaking the rules for short term profit and the pathetic grab for national recognition. Obviously the CFA was involved. They even regulate the length of shoelaces, don't they? I hope the kids from Brazil and Germany who got beaten by these cheats (were any of them under 21?)can sleep easier... What a a contemptible society you people have constructed...
