China is weak compared to Oz generosity

You think that is news? A few dollars over a million bucks? Australia, with a small population of 22 million, against China's 1.4 billion, has given Indonesia $AUD1.5 billion in the past few years. Now this is something to write about!

China is blowing its own deadly balloon

I think that Mrs Clinton is right on this important matter. I have lived in China six years recently and the change in attitude toward the rest of the world is noticeable. It is on the street, in the queues and on the buses where ordinary people express themselves without incurring the wrath of officialdom in China. But it is in these bouts of expression do we outsiders [laowai] witness just what is happening in China. And it is like watching a balloon being blown up and we are waiting for it to burst. If they keep blowing, it will burst and we will be covered in it.

Hu Jintao has support of Chinese People

Hu Jintao is powerful because he has the support of the Chinese people. It is as simple as that. If he did not do his job properly, the people would not support him. We all would know about it. But Hu Jintao clearly is popular and has with Wen Jiabao, brought China to the world of peace and prosperity and, I may add, happiness.

China kicks off the kick off

Kick off is a term used to describe the start of a game of football. China Daily has for the past five years kicked off every event that had merely begun or started. It is sufficient to write that President Hu arrived for a three day State visit. He doesn't have to kick off anything. It is a trait that is irritating to readers of your fine news medium and it is a useless group of words.

Twice two-timed by two time

Whatever happened to triple and twice and double? All we see and hear nowadays is three time and two time.

Reductionism increases its pernicious affect upon our way of thinking.
