Posted by w_thames_the_d on February 21, 2011
Here is an excerpt on the rule of law in China. The US and the west operate under the rule of law. What this means that law is standardized and fairly utilized. The rule of man is what dictators and despots use, China is considered to still use the ‘rule of man’, although they claim to be changing. The expert below addresses the issue.

Chinee Communist Party Infiltrating Foreign Firms in China
Posted by w_thames_the_d on February 21, 2011
From “The Party- (Richard Mcgregor)
“The Party’s efforts to infiltrate and control foreign companies was only one small part of a much larger strategy. The ultimate aim was to have a permanent party presence in every large private company in the country. For a display of the Party’s manic desire to be everywhere, there is no better illustration than the campaign it launched in 2007, to infiltrate private companies in Wenzhou. For the Party, Wal-Mart would seem like a pushover by comparison.” |

China Looking for Another Product to F*#k Up- Jaguar and Land Rover
Posted by w_thames_the_d on February 21, 2011
Not content to expand her toxic grip on the milk, wine and cheese markets, China is expanding its presence in the world markets at an alarming rate. Gone are the days of the poisonous dog food and dry wall, and Mickey D’s cups that leave you brain dead, China is giving us the ‘full monty’ as it were. Chinadaily announces that some Chinese company who makes ‘SUV’s’ is looking to buy Jaguar and Land Rover. My only question is the following:
Imagine this scenario excerpt from chinadaily: “Senior executives of Jaguar and Land Rover came and visited the Great Wall Motor plant on Feb 14, but the final decision of a potential tie-up has not been reached yet,” a Great Wall Motor senior executive told the reporter. An executive from Great Wall Motor Co Ltd said his company is engaged in discussion with Tata Motor’s Jaguar and Land Rover unit. The two companies may cooperate on business in the future, the China Business News reported. “Senior executives of Jaguar and Land Rover came and visited the Great Wall Motor plant on Feb 14, but the final decision of a potential tie-up has not been reached yet,” a Great Wall Motor senior executive told the reporter.” |

Whore House or Sauna- in China is There a Difference?
Posted by w_thames_the_d on February 21, 2011
Here is an excellent post from chinasmack.com. This post lists the services available at Chinese saunas (read as whore houses) and the real meanings of these services. For example you can see that one of the ‘services’ is ‘ten fingers strumming the instrument’- who says the Chinese are not creative. Anyway think of this list the next time your boss say s he is going to China on some serious ‘business’. Those guys know this is what China is about and thus that is why so many of them come here and put up with alot of the crap that goes on in China, after all, where else can a balding 55 year old guy get a 20 year old hottie, for the price of a steak dinner. This is the rise of China. excerpt: Below are images of service menus or lists at various massage parlors and saunas in China where most of the services available are written as wildly esoteric Chinese idioms that reveal little about the true salacious nature of the “service” itself. Most Chinese netizens are completely baffled by the terms on the menus, while others attempt to decode and interpret what the possible meanings could be. Translation: Top: “Honored Guest Park Sauna Department” Middle left: “The client is god, the [massage] technician is the spirit” Middle right (blue text): “Technician [masseuse] service principle” Middle right (red text): “There are no customers with bad character, only masseuses with bad character [service]“ Translation: Massage Item – Service Price – Service Duration Golden Foot Massage – 68 yuan – 50 minutes Translation: Service Menu Shower room service

Beijing to Raise Taxi Fare at the End of the Year- Chinese Inflation
Posted by w_thames_the_d on February 21, 2011
Inflation is hitting China and pretty hard, and it’s only getting worse. China, possessing over 22% of all the people on the planet is having a hard time finding employees in some industries. The problem often lies in the fact that Chinese bosses are scum-like bastards who do not pay on time and lie and cheat the employees. Thus, the typical village can either stay home and work the fields and live on 200 U$ per year, or come to Beijing, work like a slave and then get stiffed on his paycheck. When I first came to Beijing, I lived outside of town and protests over work related abuse was common. In addition to this, the issue of house prices is contentious and as houses are important to all Chinese, most do not have the cash to buy one in the large metropolises. For instance in places like Beijing and Shanghai, the communists allow the developers to eat up all the land, “allegedly” and ‘allegedly’ allow greedy developers to kick the residents off their own turf and then take the land, only to resell it to the wealthy. The result is that a lot of the floating laborers or migrant workers as they are called in China are saying ‘no’ to working in the big cities. This lack of labor, alongside an increase in the price of vegetables, due some would say, to the fact that China is killing her land and crops, mean higher prices across the board. This has lead to, and will continue to lead to inflation which really has uncle chicom nervous as when you have 1 000 000 000 people who cannot afford to eat, things can get a bit dicey…. Oh yeah, China will raise the rates we pay on taxis at the end of the year… |
