American headlines I\u2019ve read while in China. Sorry, no links. Don\u2019t have time right now:<\/p>\n
\u201cIn Food Safety Crackdown, China Closes 180 Plants\u201d (NYT) – Hmmm\u2026 shall I stick to my peanut butter sandwiches? Really, we\u2019ve been eating them everyday for lunch. It\u2019s far easier than trying to order food.<\/p>\n
\u201cText Messages Giving Voice to Chinese\u201d (Wash Post) – It\u2019s quite clear from my Intro to Chinese Law class that if the NPC doesn\u2019t like something, it gets squashed. I guess text messages are a little tougher to suppress.<\/p>\n
\u201cWider Sale is Seen for Toothpaste Tainted in China\u201d (NYT) – I\u2019ve been using my hotel supplied toothpaste morning, noon, and night (sometimes). I hope my teeth don\u2019t fall out.<\/p>\n
\u201cU.S. Family Tries Living Without China\u201d (Reuters) – The family says it\u2019s not because they don\u2019t like China. That sounds like BS.<\/p>\n
\u201cF.D.A. Issues Alert on Chinese Seafood\u201d (NYT) – I ate a lot of shrimp, some fish, and stuff I can\u2019t even name the other night. I wonder if the F.D.A. would like me to bring some samples home.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy Marathoners Won\u2019t Break Records in Beijing\u201d (blog.foreignpolicy.com) – It is truly filthy here. Smog hovers, like I\u2019ve said. The articles says the levels are two to three times what is \u201chealthy.\u201d You don\u2019t see anyone working out outside here. It\u2019s weird.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
