A couple of days old, but you should read this post from the Wall Street Journal’s China Real-Time Report, on silly things politicians said at the NPC. Sample:
Li Hongzhong, governor of Hubei province, was asked by a People’s Daily reporter about last year’s case of a hotel worker whose murder charges were dismissed after she claimed she had acted in self-defense when an official and his colleague tried to rape her. His reply: “Are you really from the People’s Daily? And you ask such a question? What kind of Communist Party mouthpiece are you? Is this how you guide public opinion? What’s your name? I’m going to find your boss.”
Yep, a little retro there. These people all need media training. Every last one of them. Imagethief is available for a very reasonable price.
Wonderful self-parody there. Every Ccitizen I’ve read that to has buried their face in their hands. Every single one. Sample size of 8 and growing…
Absolutely priceless.
Tell me you didn’t move site just to incorporate the ‘girls with guns’ banner. There are worse justifications, of course.
No, that wasn’t why I moved. But I did take full advantage of the capabilities that came with the new platform.
