Mixing, Muddling, and Confusing If one can really think like God (looking at issues through the view of God) you won't spend so much time on issues like this. Jianshuo, you are intelligent and quite successful with your life and career in the eyes of this World. If you are interested in further improving yourself in understanding what the meaning of life is and what's important in our life, I would humbly suggest you get to know Jesus Christ and the Bible, which teaches the wisdom that you can't get from this world or being intelligent , well educated etc ... Lord Jesus will lead you to higher ground and look at the world differently :) |

Error in Western Media Report about Tibet What medias do these days are forming theories first and then to gather evidence to support them instead of gathering facts and let audience think. In other words, they are spreading propaganda instead of reporting. Some news anchors even act like man-on-a-mission, as if they are the only people who are sober :) well those people are never happy themselves. As for protest, the fact that they chose to do this a few months before olympics and call on boycott of the game is a bit selfish. Athletes around world have been in training for years for the competition, why they have to be sacrificed for your independence agenda? |

Mega-Projects and Raising Power of China i feel the same excitement as well, though I am away from China at the moment. this is a process. skyscrapers and expressways come first, then it *will* come better political system, compassionate citizens and a more civilized sociality. i am sure my fellow Chinese will get there, it's just a matter of time. Thank you for sharing! *i grew up in hangzhou |

How I Drive in Shanghai? Traffic rules are made by human based on the law makers' understanding of things that could maximize most people's well being. And it's meaningful only if they are enforced and respected by most people. If you follow it while all (most) others don't, you really can't get any benefit by following it - As you said if you stop completely at the stop sign you will get hit from behind - that's real. So? what I am thinking is unless WJS you are able to get most people respect the traffic rules in shanghai or convince the authority to get tough enforcing it you wouldn't be able to benefit from it by following it yourself - it could cost your life in worst case. Human made laws are different from God's law (God's law is eternal and unconditional, whoever breaks it will pay a price, guaranteed.), and are always depend on things like if the law makers have correct understanding of the situation and/or how well the law is enforced. When one or more of these are insufficient, the whole stuff would not have desired effects, of cause you would have to think about it if you are going to follow. There is nothing for you to feel shame about. I do believe JS is a humble and reasonable man. |

Tulip Sleeps in my Garden Good work, I planted 20-30 tulips bulbs and lots of others in my yard too. I did that earlier because it was colder in my place. Hope I am going to see something next spring. Heard about the colder the winter is the better for tulips. |

Not Perfect English is Fine, So does Correction Don't worry, any where in the world you will find people who thought they know everything. It's just not worth to fight against them every time |

Different Views on Typhoon 9/11/2001 morning, I was interning in a big corporation in chicago area. people (mostly americans of course) were so excited watching the burning world trade centers on live tv coverage. at some point a young white guy came 'pleasantly' to tell me 'it was collapsed and was so powerful'. well i dont think they are unpatriotic - instead a human nature of knowing 'something is going on' ... |

Ability to Make Impact is the Cause of Pressue I think the cause of pressure is people's attitude - what do they think good life should be like. for greedy people they are always under pressure - thinking how they are able to have better life(making more money) - sadly they are among those who have the poorest quality of life. |

Pudong Starbucks is Nice I was wondering when any of you in the starbucks in shanghai last time if you saw any 'cool' gentlement/lady ocupies a best seat (by the window usually) and kind of thinking and working on the laptop computer, look very involved. and s/he usually sits there for hours or whole afternoon with a tiny sip every once a while of an already cold coffee. I saw people like that quite often. i bet those people are really, really think starbucks are a type of fashion, and being in starbucks brings him/her honour. |

Language Exchange Partners Wanted well chiki, 1. good to know your Chinese is decent. congratulations! 2. even if you really meet impatient Chinese, to yell at entire group of Chinese english learners is inapproriate. 3. as adult, you should be able to guard yourself of being taken advantage of, an example could be to put a sign on yourself saying you speak French and you are from Quebec. 4. for anyone learning a second language, it couldn't be more natural to try to talk to native speakers of that language to seek improvement. my non-chinese friends learning Chinese are doing this to me all the time. Have a good weekend everyone! |

Language Exchange Partners Wanted It would be highly unlikely for China born and grown people who then left China (or start living in English speaking countries)at the age older than 20 to get rid of Chinese accent completely - which I think it's just fine. Language is for communication purpose. I know people from India who speak English with kind of heavy local accent, however what thay say are just understood completely by native speakers of English. |

No Baggars Premitted on Metro? Jianshuo, what you did was very good. You will be blessed by God. I also saw some reports telling those little kids are exploited by illegal gang members to make money. Some of the injuries and wounds those kids have are result of intentional mistreatment by their controllers so that they will receive more sympathy and make more money. evil, umh? I share your sympathy. |

Donation in China With the booming extreme capitalism in China, the standard to judge whether a person is successful or not becomes solely based on how rich or famous that person is. Making donation will decrease those people's wealth and prevent them from becoming 'successful'. So how can you expect them to do that? |

Life in a Low Cost Labor World If the majority of people in a country is poor people, struggling for living. don't you think this country's system has problem? thats not a place with hope. |

I can Recognize Orders Now Mr. Wang - if I am not wrong I remember one time you pointed out people of shanghai are in the stage of believing the amount of tall buidlings a place has is related to how modern that place is and you also agreed. That makes me think about that although you feel unfortunate to tear town those old properties maybe thats still reasonable because they do not contribute to the modernization of Shanghai. |

Do Chinese Move to Small Cities In most countries other than China, people can move to anywhere in the country as they want to. The reason some spots become cities is there are more business activites there, which makes people eaiser to find work so they can live. They do not necessarily like urban atmosphere, they live there because they need some work to do and cities offer more. China is little bit different. Cities in China are significantly wealthier than rural area. Farmers flee to cities not because they like the urban life style, but they are too poor to live a basic life. They believe whatever work they can find in cities is better than staying in their rural hometown. If this situation remains unchanged, Chinese moving to smaller cities will not happen. Chinese cities' prosperity has not much to do with average Chinese citizen's standard of living because the funding of mordenising cities comes from national resources. This means people in the entire China are taxed to make a fews cities beautiful. Of course that can be done and of course people outside cities are poor and they want to come to cities. |

On Ethic Religon does play a big role to teach people to become ones with good conduct. However even in u.s. there are big amount of people who are not affiliated or simply Atheists. The majority of those people's conduct are just not bad at all. I am glad Mr.wang raised this question. Thats something I was so confused about when I was a kid, back in 1980s. It's hard to say kids growing up in China receive less education regarding ethic than kids in the rest of the world, they do receive a lot. The problem is they grew up in an environment where unethical things happened everywhere and their teachers, their classmates, their parents do things unethical and they just learned that with good conduct they just can't survive. Let's see why kids' teachers and parents are unethical. Because the sociaty is full of injustice, lack of rule of law, lack of enforcement of law - so that people know bad conduct may not necessarily get punished and those rule abiding ones just can't compete if they keep being rule abiding. Now who is resposible for the existance of this kind of sociaty? The answer is the country's one party system, under which the sociaty just can't get better. |

Rainy Crazy Friday Night in Shanghai My wife is from shanghai and she recommends in this kind of situation, you should try some restaurants which are more expensive than averge (so it will be much fewer people there) or some restaurants which food are just okay. |

Inside Pudong Airport Maglev Train Obviously decision of building Maglev is a show conducted by those very few high level officials. They want people to be aware of their achievement of make Shanghai so 'modern'. As for if it's worth doing this, that's not what they care. I recently have been Shanghai and had an experience of taking taxi in an evening rush hour to eat something good. I doubt the average speed of rush hour traffic reached 15 km/h. That was fully disabled traffic - not just traffic jam - you got to witness it to believe how bad that was. However instead of spending money to increase the rush hour traffic speed to just 15 miles/h those desicion makers prefer to use that huge amount of tax money to build such a fancy, useless tourist oriented attraction just to make people 'WOW'. The real winners are those German companies who previously never thought people may actually buy these stuff :) |

Shanghai is the Second Unhappiest City My impression is Chinese people aren't happy until they get to big cities like Shanghai, so that they believe they are closer to Capitalism, are they? |

Still Working with IPowerWeb Once DNS record is updated it takes time to propagate the changes to the rest of the world. For instance, If the DNS server in the west coast of theUS, once it's updated, the change will be available for people in the east coast in a few days. So guess it might take longer to have changes take affect for users in China. |

Always-Red Pedestrian Signs True, however if customers know most likely the bug won't be fixed even after they report, then why bother? - That's what's happening in China. |
