Cops and lady boysPosted by Jeremy Goldkorn on Thursday, July 10, 2008 at 5:38 PM
An old Danwei post called China's first police blog is the third result on a Google search for 'China police'. So every now and then, we get desperate pleas for help from poor foreign sods that have been ripped off by Chinese companies, such as this comment left today:
The police blog linked on the Danwei post above is still going strong, with the most recent entry on July 7 showing photos of police anti-terrorist drills. The other type of drive by comments we get is spam. Most of it is simply annoying, but occasionally there is an interesting one, such as this comment, left on the post Travelling lady boy (Danwei is top Google result for lady boy China):
As the Chinese saying goes, a big forest contains all types of birds (林子大，什么鸟都有). |

Classic Danwei posts
+ 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.

Comments on Cops and lady boys
maybe danwei.org contains all Chinese news at all.....maybe.
So now you also do advertising for ladyboys? Why don't you put the rates and contact number as well... :)
And about companies getting ripped on the internet, I'm just amazed of how easily that can be done and if they come to cry about it here, that confirms my belief of how stupid they must be.
