Basically, a person wrote a negative review about a Chinese restaurant. The Chinese restaurant then showed the person only spent 22 seconds in the restaurant, before leaving supposedly. And released the video. The person is claiming it's not them.
The continued threat of economic boycotts targeting Israel hasn't
deterred China from forging ahead with a new freight rail link through
Israel. The planned link could provide an alternative to the Suez Canal.
From what I am reading, China's government is now working to go after corrupt officials that are in the US. Currently, the US has no extradition treaty with China.
I am surprised at the amount of comments, 29 so far.
A group called, Save the Arcadia Highlands, is suing to stop construction of two large mansions in Northern Arcadia. They are using the CEQA, California Environmental Quality Act. I note on their website, at least one of the members is Chinese. Arcadia is 59% Chinese, and have been attracted by the excellent school district. I grew up in Monrovia, next door, so I am very familiar with Arcadia.
Interesting article, that brings up a lot of questions on what impact this will have on China's economy in the future.
Moore's Law states the number of components in a chip can double every two years. This means in two years, you will be able to buy a computer that is twice as powerful for the same price you would pay today. This applies to most computer based devices, including smart phones and robots. This means that Robots every year are getting smarter and cheaper. And Chinese wages are increasing every year. And we will see what impact 3D Printing will have in the future.
Hardworking Fujianese immigrants use the borough as a launching pad to the middle class.

I was wondering how the Hospitals were being paid for. This may be an answer: One of the women paid $4,080 out of $28,845 in hospital bills when her
bank account showed charges at Wynn Las Vegas and purchases at Rolex and
Louis Vuitton stores, the affidavit said.
An interesting read, that took a while to read as I researched all the names mentioned. As I was reading the article, I realized how little I know of Chinese history. The past 150 years are full of tragedy. The Coming Coup in China Sulmaan Khan
I disagree with the conclusion of the article. It does give a different view of China, that I can see.
Names that were mentioned in the article, that I would go read up on. So many of their fates are just tragic. One family was killed, including children. Another imprisoned for 50 years. Yuan Shikai Hong Xiuquan Zhang Xueliang Yang Hucheng Peng Dehuai Lin Biao This picture captures the tragedy, Peng Dehuai:
Note, some of the Wikipedia articles may have a political bias.
Who owns, "Standing Guard for Our Great Motherland"
I was reading about an artist, Shen Jiawei, who originally painted for the Red Guard and the PLA, and painted a famous painting "Standing Guard for Our Great Motherland". He moved to Australia, and has done a portrait of the Pope Francis.
Private Collection Shen Jiawei, like all young people of his age, had been sent from his home, which was in Zhejiang, to the countryside, where he cultivated the frigid soil of a military farm on the Soviet border with Heilongjiang. His heroic character is a border patrol, who stands in the freezing wind to guard his nation against a Soviet attack.
So who owns it? How did somebody purchase it? Mao had over 250,000 posters made of it.
Obama sharply criticizes China's plans for new technology rules
I view the stance of President Obama as hypocritical. If the US can and does demand that all access, why can't China ask for the same thing?
In an interview with Reuters, Obama said he was concerned about
Beijing's plans for a far-reaching counterterrorism law that would
require technology firms to hand over encryption keys, the passcodes
that help protect data, and install security "backdoors" in their
systems to give Chinese authorities surveillance access.
The amount of visitors to Macau's Casinos is actually up, but the amount of revenue is down. This means the whales, or big fishes are not playing. I view this as good news, because it means the anti-corruption campaign in China may be working.
Unfortunately only English Sub-titles. The Video is by a former reporter who spent a year putting it together and cost $160,000 to produce.
The Chinese Minister of Environmental Protection said:
'I want to thank her. She has wakened up the public to pay attention to the environment from a public health perspective.
'I think (she is) worth our respect.'
The video even got recognized by the Chinese press. I would compare it to the impact of the US book, Silent Spring, that probably led to the creation of the EPA.
