Dueling Lǎowài: Tone Marks on Roadsigns?

http://www.princeroy.org

In my opinion, writing Chinese words with the Latin character set and neglecting tone marks is the equivalent of writing English words with dots in place of the vowels. Yes, it’s possible to guess the missing information from context, but it’s not a very complete writing system.

Asking the Government to Help ESL Teachers in China

http://www.teachabroadchina.com

At the moment, foreign teachers in China have relatively little options if they are cheated or need help. Sure. There are plenty of American consulates sprinkled around here but unless there is a war or a tidal wave in the area, American consulates and embassies in China are as about as useful as an expired visa.

My Sadness - An Injustice of Olympic Proportions

http://dedlog.blogspot.com

So I waited. I waited for the investigation. I waited for parents to be told that someone along the line had messed up. Maybe it was corruption or maybe it was just error in judgment but I waited for the government I had learned to trust, the government that had given me hope that there was something better than anarchy would step forward and say "here is the evidence, and here are our findings and here is the reason why an entire generation of children in Sichuan are gone."

China: The Good and the…Good

http://www.teachabroadchina.com

I greatly respect and admire Chinese culture. I may not always agree with the politics or the attitudes that I encounter (in fact I often do not) but I am grateful for the opportunity to live here and immerse myself in the culture. I was thinking about my favorite aspects of Chinese culture.

Here a few of my thoughts; feel free to add more.

The pitfalls of China’s rough capitalism

http://www.acf-china.com

The dealers had sold most of the order when they got sued by Ashton-Drake Galleries, a major American dealer that owns the copyright to the doll’s design, including its clutchy little hands.

Lesson? Just because the locals fearlessly copy that “hot design” without even thinking twice, doesn’t mean that rule applies to you. “When in Rome” does not apply here because eventually either you (or your customers) will need to leave Rome!
