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.

Dinah! Nice piece, grrrl. C enjoyed it, too.
shock horror - what revelations. can't wait for tomorrow's big scoop - the pope is actually a catholic. maybe.
can't wait to see the launch of Super Boys next year!! there are surely gonna be lots of boys who can hit the high notes like Mariah Carey does and dress like Britney Spears~~~
Sorry to get into this so late, but I have to disagree with Justin on this one. This is basically dreck.
The last two sentences are the worst part of the article. The author fails to demonstrate that the reason Xu Fei was voted out of the competition was because of anything mentioned previously.
Similarly, the quote by one of the judges is taken out of context. The author offers nothing but innuendo. This isn't news. The article does little more than insinuate. That might be ok for the Weekly World News, but if Danwei wants to be considered a credible news source, it should do better.
are u still in Hk? get in touch Dinah
