OK, here\u2019s a quick list of China news stories I\u2019ve come across in the last couple of days:<\/p>\n
\u201cWho wants a Hover Wingle?\u201d – Could China have picked a better name for the first Chinese-made car? I think not. The cars are selling very well in Europe, not for their horrendous safety record, but because they\u2019re so damn cheap.<\/p>\n
\u201cBeijing Censors Silence Influential Newsletter\u201d – The headline should read, NPC doesn\u2019t like idea of free media. With only CCTV, I don\u2019t like the NPC.<\/p>\n
\u201cBillions of Rats Invade China\u201d – This isn\u2019t that new, but it\u2019s gross. I can\u2019t imagine what a billion rats would be like. It makes me want to leave the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cCardboard Chinese Food\u201d – Great, I heard about this eight hours after eating dumplings twice in one day.<\/p>\n
\u201cChinese Internet Usage Rivals U.S.\u201d – Yeah, and they only have a billion more people than us.<\/p>\n
\u201cChina Executes Former Watchdog Chief\u201d – So, this is what happens when you take bribes for food.<\/p>\n
\u201cA Virgin Mary-themed Urinal? Online in China\u201d – Forget Summer Palace, forget Terracotta Warriors, forget Forbidden City – seeing stuff like this is what makes a trip to China worth while. However, I don\u2019t think I\u2019ll be down that way.<\/p>\n
(This post makes me realize that I get most of my news – especially while traveling – from blogs. And it all seems credible. That\u2019s kind of weird.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
