Sure, why the hell not. Like Frank Yi said they copied his way.
I mean the publicly listed Chinese fashion sportswear company, Xtep, whose recent commercials during the Olympics caught my attention because of the music used. The song is called “It’s My Way” and it doesn’t take a New Jersey-born fan of 1980s hair rock [...]

Chinaelections.org has an interesting essay on the rules pertaining to public assembly and protest in the PRC. This was written before the Games, and in light of all that (didn’t happen) during the Games, the information here might be worth reviewing to get a better legal and historical context for why commies love repression.

I was watching the Australia-China women’s basketball last night and listening to the commentary, I finally snapped: I’ve just become to sick of hearing them say the same things over and over. Most of the time it’s stuff along the lines of:
我们在跟世界一流的队的对抗中可以发现自己的不足。
