Yes it is. But Toronto is not bad. And think about it. With Canada's size and population, how could the country afford (logistically) the kind of mass transportation that are available in the more densely populated parts of Asia and Europe? If you plan to get out of the Toronto city core at...

I have no intention of adding any fuel to this "fire". Fundamentally, the Telegraph brought up nothing that the Chinese "literati" (despite the government's attempts to info-manage) didn't already know. And people know this, too. But once again, things outside the PRC - Kosovo, Katastroika...

Thanks for informing - in a sincere and balanced attempt. No one knows whether the Iranian Revolution has reached a "Thermidor" moment (to paraphrase an article I posted before). And don't assume that people inside China are "happy" or even that they have what is close to a "satisfactory"...

I am sorry I don't mean to troll. Okay I do mean to troll. Now there is really absolutely nothing funny about the Mumbai tragedy. But is this Chidambaram a comedian? Is he going after Rumsfeldian fame with pontifications on "known unknowns vs unknown unknowns"? Why not make it clearer for...

Family dynasty's merit and downside per se can still be subject to "辨证". Most would agree that its overall role in a nation's history should be transitory. And it does depends on which family we are talking about. The Jiang dynasty in Taiwan brought prosperity (I am not going...

It's the business of whosoever interested - at least to ask questions and seek answers. Do Chinese in the PRC not care about the political winds blowing across Yankeeland? You can, and should question their motivation, however. There is nothing wrong with discourse.

I think that most would agree that the SCO is not an organization with teeth - or even designed to have any. Few can articulate to you if it has any real purpose in the real world (other than a nefarious aim to keep Uncle and NATO "in check" - against what is anything but clear), let alone how...

Thanks for taking the time. I share some of your sentiment - believe me. I was still in China until a couple of years after Tiananmen. It was well known that right after the 1989 crackdown where students (a few, but city folks - more than a few) were shot and run over, Japan was one of a...
