Ah, video mash-ups, how we love you. Today's video of the day is a fabricated conversation between President Obama (taken from his town hall in Shanghai) and Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang (from a press conference) where Qin demands Obama answer the question "do you have children?" Of course, we all know about Sasha and Malia, but that's not the point: what follows is a brief conversation about censorship between two ideological ships passing in the night. Obama talks about the worlds opened to his daughters by the internet while Qin waxes on how censoring the internet is one of the most important things we can do to protect our kids (or the ones we'll have someday). Will "do you have children?" become the new Chinese internet meme? more ›

我想提醒你的是，这里是外交部的新闻发布厅，
不是讨论同性恋问题的场所。
What I'd like to remind you is this.This is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs press conference and not a forum for the discussion of gay issues. more ›
