Hillary Clinton is a hypocrite on China. Plain and simple. These days, I try not to dabble with politics too much on the Vance Report but sometimes I just cannot help it. This is one of those situations.

6 Comments »Should I Date My Chinese Co-Worker?
Posted by Jean Chesterton on February 24th, 2009
Dear Jean,
Late new year greetings from western China. I am the lone foreign teacher in a small private school out here. It was kind of strange at first but now I’m starting to like it. I’ll get right to the point. Supposedly, I work with 10 Chinese ‘English’ teachers but believe it or not, there [...]

Posted by Robert Vance on February 22nd, 2009
Weddings in the Chinese countryside are expensive, and not just for the couple who is getting married. Recently, I had the unique opportunity to attend a wedding in China, and as a close friend of both families, I was expected to give a red envelope (hongbao 红包) to the blissful couple. And not just once. [...]

On Ox vs. Cow, Cold vs. Hot, and Foreigners in China Who Think They Are Experts
Posted by Jean Chesterton on February 10th, 2009
Dear Jean,
1. What do you think about articles in local newspapers about people who have spent only 3 or 4 months in China and they are “experts” about China. I lived in China for 5 years and don’t pretend to understand China at all! What do you think about that?
2. What’s with the Chinese and [...]
