Hate to break the stereotype for the likes of 'puhlease' but ... I'm a 'creative type' and as Aric pointed out, posting under my real name. However. I have had a full residence permit and working VIS...

Continuing on from Lucius and Sculley's sane posts. Obviously some people would take issue with a statement like 'foreigners living here want the Olympics to fail'. But if you do then how about givin...

Come on rldh Who are you and what do you do here? It's only fair to Aric who is trying to engage you here....

@rldh Can you give us a link to your blog? Or a project you do? ...

No need to bring the hate everyone. Like Aric said, there's a focus there on the very end of the shows, and there were a lot. The diaries project was initially posted up to Current TV's website, but ...

Hi all WLS - I agree that my comment was obviously phrased in a provocative manner - but not as a personal attack on you and not with insults or trolling. And hey - here we have comments. Michael Mi...

Hey wee ling soh No need to do the name repeating or the reprimands. And having an opinion doesn't make me an 'expert'. I'm not trolling here or saying stuff like "blah blah is a m*****f*****" or wh...

This is like the Orwellian language bending of the music world. He played a set at a gig, during which he improvised. Are we sure we're not talking about a DJ playing pre-recorded music in a bar? ...

This was followed up in the Chinese papers the next day. A weedkiller plant up the north end of Pudong, up along the river there had an 'accident'. Some people directly over river in Yang Pu and Hong...

somehow the censors have managed to block access to this album, without blocking the entire site. Hmmnn ... now how could that happen. The easy way would be for Itunes to do it of course. Google/Yaho...

The Gar gig has been on the Facebook group for weeks and the group is run by a YYT employee. I'll be going. See you there, Abe. ...

It's a simple thing that was brought up at the time of the teams being submitted. Records online of previous regional comps show the ages. When queried about it, China provided passports. So, if the...

Yunny The idea that China is collective and the West is individualistic is a stereotype. An old and tired one at that. ...

Liu Xiang is a genuine star and has already done enough in his great career. But the response to his injury pull out is unreasonable, surreal and pretty offensive. Not to mention representative of the...

I guess people who don't realise that "laowai!" is offensive also think that when you have people shout 'hallo' at you in a high pitched voice and then laugh that they are trying to be polite. When w...

I don't want to take sides here but hopefully add a wider context. I am from the UK and have lived in Canada too, right now I'm based in Shanghai - where I've lived for 7 years. I also used to write ...

Brad, I share your lack of suprise. I remember seeing your boss turning locals away from Windows Too on New Year's Eve a couple of years back. The only odd thing is why now - after splashing out on ...

I was born in '72 and grew up in Liverpool and so was 18 in 1990. So across my childhood and teens the city centre was often closed off for afternoon on a bomb threat and bombs did go off in our regio...

In who's Bizarro world does having the government and the Olympics count as plus points and make Beijing 'better'. Surely they are huge negatives....

Nice to see a parkour team here, although the whole 'we have Chinese elements' and kung fu thing is tired. The parkour community has already been through all that. There was a big wave of 'tricking' ...
