It's part of Chinese culture?

Election or by-election fever can sometimes make a person think and talk utter nonsense. Day before yesterday it was the banning of a certain unmentionable woman’s name. Quite rightly, but it is hard to forget that name. Yesterday, it was a certain accusation of bribery for some independent candidates. Ok, so anti corruption is not completely independent, we understand. And now, part of Chinese culture? I have lived, worked and traveled China over the last 20 years, and I can assure you this is not part of Chinese culture. It is the western culture and if the dancers are yellow skinned, it doesn’t necessarily translate into Chinese culture!

You remember how often it was said that if you wish to learn Chinese thoroughly it will take you all your life. So do not have too short a view. Do not think that when you begin to observe, your can make a judgment on other’s culture!

How can you say three scantily clad women donning blue tank-tops, hot pants with fish net stockings and boots part of Chinese culture? Can you? Enlighten me, YB! It is like Madoff telling people he was going to invest their money in a certain way but didn’t actually use it in that way. Cream-de-la crème, my foot!



This is Chinese culture, my friend and you need it most! Next time around, you may need to change face again! Indian culture, perhaps?
