"One of the things that frustrates me most is not that most foreigners know so little about China ... People need to understand that until 25 years ago, there was 0 freedom of speech, almost 0 legal system, almost 0 trade, very high malnutrition, poverty, illiteracy etc. It has come a long way in 25 years - although obviously not far enough (yet) for most people (me included)."

"Being a Chinese, I am very critical about commercializing things - NOT because I am a big fan of communism. Because in a market size of 1.3 billion, market economy is too theoretical to work.

"Villagers in southwestern China are puzzled by a county government's decision to paint the entire barren Laoshou mountain green. Workers who began spraying in August told villagers that they were doing so on orders of the county government but were not told why."
