Am trying to figure out the timeline on this stuff -- the GT article came out in November, but the Guardian article was yesterday?

Either way, that GT article is laughable indeed.

We suggest that China need not be overcautious in inviting foreigners to perform in China in future simply because of the actions of Elton John or Bjork, an Icelandic singer who shouted "Tibet, Tibet" at her concert in Shanghai in 2008. We also suggest that Chinese audiences need not hesitate to protest the provocateur and boo him off the stage.

Nothing like paying a few hundred RMB to boo someone because they dedicate a show to a fellow artist.

Who Hao/Bu Hao'd It?
