+ Korean history doesn't fly on Chinese TV screens (2007.09): SARFT puts the kibbosh on Korean historical dramas. + Religion and government in an uneasy mix (2008.03): Phoenix Weekly (凤凰周刊) article from October, 2007, on government influence on religious practice in Tibet. + David Moser on Mao impersonators (2004.10): I first became aware of this phenomenon in 1992 when I turned on a Beijing TV variety show and was jolted by the sight of "Mao Zedong" and "Zhou Enlai" playing a game of ping pong. They both gave short, rousing speeches, and then were reverently interviewed by the emcee, who thanked them profusely for taking time off from their governmental duties to appear on the show.

Who cares. Singer dies, get over it.
RIP: Michael Jackson. A poor, sad, lonely man, of immense talent.
On an entirley separate note, has any one noticed CD has been carrying ads for the Church Of Scientology. (Trade mark acknowledged!) How on earth does that sit with the laws and regulations of China? I thought dangerous cults were a big no, no in China.
your great name never disappears in the world. even the world will be vanished,
my Mj, you has said goodbye us peacefully, but we will miss you, remember you by heart.
