I think you must have some interests in Chinese culture or you would not have come ...

We would be burying our heads in the sand if we denied that China has human rights problems.

I would agree with you that there seems a lot of anti Chinese programmes on lately, espececially regarding Tibet. But I would not go as far as to say that they incite racial hatred against the Chinese ...

Jeff seems to have a persecution complex for some reason. Most of his posts are about Chinese being harassed/beaten up/killed,etc.

From what I see/read on the news, Muslim and black people have a m ...

Is it possible to work on a laptop/computer from home ?
