昨晚连日来被媒体大量负面报道的美国共党08总统大选副总统提名人Sarah Palin在经久不息的掌声中庄严宣布接受副总统提名, 她的演讲生动活泼, 不仅打动了听众, 也让"媒体的代表"觉得应该为先前负面报道向她道歉, 呵呵...另外, 她还回敬欧巴马对她的轻视, 她说:欧巴马领导个社区在行, 当国家领导还需磨练, 呵呵...在她演讲之前, 原纽约市长朱利安尼也这么说欧巴马来的, 逗得观众哄堂大笑, 呵呵...

Don't dream it's over

There is freedom within
There is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
There's a battle ahead
Many battles are lost
But you'll never reach the end of the road
While you're traveling with me

CHORUS:
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win

Now I'm towing my car
There's a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof
In the paper today
Tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the TV page

CHORUS

Now I'm walking again
To the beat of a drum
And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only shadows ahead
Barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and relief

CHORUS

REPEAT UNTIL FADE:
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in

Dave Freeman, an advertising agency executive who co-wrote "100 Things to Do Before You Die," an adventure-seeking and often unconventional travel guide that personified the way he lived his life, has died. He was 47.

Freeman died Aug. 17 after falling and hitting his head at his home in Venice, said his father, Roy.

Published in 1999, "100 Things" was one of the first contemporary books to create a travel agenda based on 100 sites and then market it with a title that reminded mortal readers that time was limited.

The "100 Things" approach later swept the publishing industry, said Neil Teplica, who wrote the book with Freeman.

The title meant "you should live every day like it would be your last, and there's not that many people who do," Teplica told The Times. "It's a credit to Dave -- he didn't have enough days, but he lived them like he should have."

Subtitled "Travel Events You Just Can't Miss," the book grew out of the pair's now-defunct travel website, which Freeman often said was ahead of its time. Online from 1996 to 2001, it showcased festivals and events, often in a feature called "The Coolest Place on Earth Today," which became a primary source for the book.

"This life is a short journey," the authors wrote. "How can you make sure you fill it with the most fun and that you visit all the coolest places on earth before you pack those bags for the very last time?"

Freeman had visited about half the sites in the book. He preferred to travel alone because he could cover more territory, said his aunt, Barbara Freeman.

The book's listings were adventure-based, but "it wasn't just physical adventure, it was cultural adventure and spiritual adventure, such as a voodoo pilgrimage in Haiti," Teplica said.

Together, the authors had visited almost every site in the book, which included the familiar (the Academy Awards ceremony, the running of the bulls in Pamplona, Spain) as well as the more exotic (the National Hollerin' Contest in North Carolina, Australia's Nude Night Surfing contest).

One of Freeman's favorite lesser-known events was "land-diving on the tiny island in the Pacific called Vanuatu. . . . Tribesmen climb up homemade towers . . . and it's sort of like the original bungee-jumping," he said on National Public Radio in 2001.

Another favorite was Las Fallas, a festival in Valencia, Spain, that features huge papier-mâché and plaster statues that satirize local political figures and celebrities. "Secretly, they're full of fireworks and dynamite. . . . At the stroke of midnight, they light them all on fire in a huge, loud . . . pyromania display," he said on NPR.

Freeman brought an off-kilter sensibility to the book by insisting on irreverent graphic icons. He especially enjoyed the logos that stood for "potential to see blood," "dangerous," "down and dirty" and "religious fervor."

"We would try to have odd combinations of logos, such as 'gluttony' and 'Grandma approved' on the same thing," Teplica said. "The icons gave the book a lot of life, and people really reacted to the categories, which are kind of a snapshot into Dave's brain."

Critics said the graphics made the book fun to read.

David Stewart Freeman was born Feb. 21, 1961, in Whittier. His father worked in the packaging industry and his mother sold real estate.

After graduating from USC in 1983 with a bachelor's degree in urban planning, he joined an ad agency in Newport Beach.

In 1986, he moved to New York to work for Grey Advertising.

On Sept. 11, 2001, he was eating breakfast in his sixth-floor New York co-op when the first plane hit the north tower of the World Trade Center. From the roof of his building, he saw the second plane crash into the south tower, just blocks away.

Deeply affected by the terrorist attack, Freeman decided to move back to Los Angeles in 2002 to be near his family.

He joined the ad agency TBWA/Chiat/Day as the founder and director of "the disruption consultancy." His team tried to help clients look at existing accounts in new ways, his father said.

His friend Cyndi Yee called Freeman "amazingly fabulous at what he did, which was living big, but also as a business strategist and cultural anthropologist" who lectured on lifestyle trends.

According to his father, Freeman was famous for saying, " 'We're going to the future. Do you want to come along?' It always made everybody laugh."

In addition to his father and aunt, Freeman's survivors include his stepmother, Barbara, and a sister, Virginia Freeman Robb. His mother, Anne, died in 1995.

Memorial donations may be made to the children's charity Room 13 International in care of Barbara Overlie, TBWA/Chiat/Day, Dave Freeman Memorial Fund, 5353 Grosvenor Blvd., Los Angeles CA 90066.

Burning Man 是一个很有意思的节日，去年去美国出差，遇到的一个朋友，说要去参加这个庆祝活动。转眼今年的Burning Man又到了，我还在中国等待我的澳洲签证..........

Once again, the week before Labor day brings offbeat art lovers from around the world to Black Rock City, Nevada, for a seven-day event that immerses the senses in radical artistic self-expression. Actually, its pretty hard to describe Burning Man unless you have actually been to one, but it is certainly a far cry from the stuffy art museum atmosphere most of us are familiar with. Plus, there are enough flaming gadgets to keep any nerd entertained. Hit the jump to see some of the unique projects on display this year.



Other projects to look out for:

• I Heart Lamp by Blue Lake Iron Works by Joel 'Fatboy' Brown, Mark 'F St' Whitman, Spike Foster, Tisha 'Mortisha' Sloan: "I Heart Lamp is a super-size sculpture of grandma's living room floor lamp. More than 30 feet tall, the lamp sits on the playa as a reminder of the cushy living rooms that are the American Dream for the mainstream, but with a twist to fit other dreams. Made from a scavenged Douglas Fir pole and recycled box pipe and lumber, this lamp, besides being surrealistically large, does not contain an electric light bulb. This lamp is lit by a propane fire cannon that turns on the same way the light would… when someone pulls the chain hanging from under the lampshade almost 20 feet in the air." (It may also be an homage to the movie Anchorman. I hated the movie, but anything Steve Carell says is OK in my book.)

• PlaySoundGround by Sasha Leitman and Michael St. Clair: "laySoundGround is an adult-sized playground that is also a musical instrument. It consists of three large pieces: a merry-go-round, a slide, and a teeter-totter. These pieces are equipped with sensors that convert the motion of play into music. The installation provides an arena for chaotic improvisations, synesthetic experiences and pointless fun."

• SOL by Alex Nolan and Justin Grant: "SOL is a groundbreaking piece of kinetic art, pushing the limits of sound, vision and motion in art. The sculpture is a nearly 25' tall robot, sensing the location and motion of nearby observers to track them with a highly directional sound system. The work is powered by an array of solar panels, drawing energy the sun to fuel its sensory output."

• Tetrion by Jim Abrams: "The Tetrion is a tremendous representation of the pieces from the original Tetris game."

今天开始为期三天的民主党代表大会上将群星荟萃, 除了图片中欧巴马的"名人内阁"人物之外, Dave Matthews, Kanye West和 Sheryl Crow届时将有精彩的表演, 另外, Ben Affleck, Josh Brolin, Annette Bening, Spike Lee, Anne Hathaway, Susan Sarandon和Charlize Theron也将出席党代表大会, 还有Obama讲演时, Bruce Springsteen和Jon Bon Jovi将一先一后演唱助兴



Dave Matthews, Kanye West, and Sheryl Crow are all performing like monkeys for VIPs in Denver this week. Also expected to be skulking around Denver this week are Ben Affleck, Josh Brolin, Annette Bening, Spike Lee, Anne Hathaway, Susan Sarandon and Charlize Theron, according to AFP. Oh, and Bruce Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi are performing before and after Obama's acceptance speech, at that stadium! Soooo many celebrities! Because America loves its celebrities, except that it also despises and resents them.

You know how most of America's problems are caused not by the disastrous failure of government over the last like 30 years but by, uh, Tim Robbins? Yes, of course you do! So do Republicans, who learned long ago that the only thing America loved more than obsessively consuming pop culture object is loudly decrying the creators of those objects as unAmerican queers. The fact that Hollyweird (along with the music and television weird-ustries) caters directly and scientifically to every desire of every American demographic does not mean that anyone actually likes famous people, because, obviously, they are misanthropic wealthy blinkered assholes whose lives bear no resemblance to the lives of their audiences.

Which is true! They are! Just like politicians and their constituencies! Except no one knows who their Representative is, and everyone knows who Ben Affleck is. He is the Vince Vaughan who isn't funny!

And then it gets really odd, because even someone like Bruce Springsteen—who is unreservedly beloved by basically all white people older than 30—suddenly becomes a loathed example of garish flashy wealth when he sings a song for a Democrat. But, you may say, if you actually like Bruce Springsteen it is patently obvious that he has always sang bleeding heart songs about losers betrayed by their countries! But he also sings about cars which cause the Global Warming, which is a myth except when liberal celebrities have big houses, and then it is real.

So. Now Obama has to "stay away" from these famous people, except for the ones singing to him on TV, and also George Clooney has issued a press release announcing that he's never texted Barack Obama. George Clooney, in case you are unfamiliar with him, is basically the single most well-liked man in America, which is why his support for Barack Obama is the kiss of death.

Of course, if you are a Republican, you get to have the support of shitty country acts who are massively, hugely, insanely popular across the entire country except in the places where journalists live, so they don't count as "celebrities."

Get it?

LED swing is straight from a fairy tale


Here at Crave, it makes us very happy when designers write in to tell us about their creative goings-on.

The latest bit of inventor inspiration to hit the Crave in-box: the Swing Lamp by Boaz Cohen and Sayaka Yamamoto, who together make up the Netherlands-based industrial design duo BCXSY. Their 2-foot-wide LED-lit swing has an ethereal, whimsical feel as it whooshes through the dark like something out of Cirque du Soleil. It's powered by a rechargeable lithium battery.

Cohen and Yamamoto conceived of the illuminated polyethylene swing as part of a collection of products inspired by nostalgic childhood motifs.

"We came up with the idea during a brainstorm--while trying to find solutions for combining toys and furniture/home accessories," they said.

The dreamy piece is still a prototype, but the designers say they've received hundreds of requests for the product and are looking for the right producer/distributor.

Other items from their "lay!" collection include a See-Saw Bookshelf and Noisy Furniture LE, a modular furniture system whose elements attach to one another via a dual-lock re-closable fastener that makes for all sorts of Lego-like possibilities.

The Burj Dubai tower, the tallest skyscraper in the world, is about to be completed. To celebrate it, David Hobcote has taken a series of amazing high resolution pictures from the air which give an exact impression of the breathtaking, massive scale of this building. Inside, it looks like a set from Blade Runner or the interior of the Death Star.

'Beijing Ben' Brings Olympic Glory to Seacrest, KIIS-FM



NBC co-chairman Ben Silverman delivers daily dispatches on Beijing Games for On-Air with Ryan Seacrest.
By Joel Topcik -- Broadcasting & Cable, 8/18/2008 12:44:00 PM

Beijing Ben Silverman Phones In"Oh! Fireworks! Live! On-air!! Oh, my -- Holy Cow!!!"

If you've been relying on Bob Costas or Matt Lauer or any of NBC's ubiquitous platforms for your Beijing Olympic Games coverage, then you've been missing the high-octane reportage of Ben Silverman on KIIS-FM in Los Angeles.

The voluble NBC co-chairman is on the scene in China, where he's been phoning in daily dispatches on the Olympics experience for On-Air with Ryan Seacrest.

Dubbed "Beijing Ben" by Seacrest, Silverman has treated KIIS listeners to live color commentary on the open ceremonies' pyrotechnics (see above), as well as accounts of his gastronomic adventures ("dim sum and then some") and sightseeing excursions to the Great Wall and the tomb of the Terracotta Warriors.

"The Great Wall is an understatement," Silverman reported. "It's the 'Awesome Wall!'"

The gig has produced some priceless banter between Seacrest and Silverman, who admitted that he'd been misidentifying Beijing's so-called Bird's Nest Olympic stadium.

"I've been calling it the 'Bird Cage,'" he said, "which I realize is something in West Hollywood."

Recounting some proverbs he learned from his Chinese guide, Silverman quipped, "Her name is Fun Fun, so you can imagine how much fun-fun Fun Fun is."

"I think I met her in Vegas," Seacrest replied.

After Seacrest joked Thursday that NBC has been showing promos for its new comedy Kath and Kim "every 10 minutes," things got surreal when he resumed a running game of fill-in-the-blank free association.

"I am your horse," Seacrest began, "you are my ... "

"Chariot?" Silverman replied.

"I am your Kath, you are my ... "

"Kim!"

Returning the volley, Silverman offered, "I am your warrior, you are my ... "

"Emperor!" said Seacrest, who then closed out the round with birthday wishes for Silverman (he turned 38 last week).

"You are my cake, I am your candle," he said. "Happy Birthday."

Perhaps "Seacrest Out," the host's signature catch-phrase on American Idol, will soon be eclipsed by "This is Beijing Ben Silverman signing off."

THE 21 EDICTS FROM THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT'S PROPAGANDA UNIT


1. The telecast of sports events will be live [but] in case of emergencies, no print is allowed to report on it.

2. From August 1, most of the previously accessible overseas websites will be unblocked. No coverage is allowed on this development. There's also no need to use stories published overseas on this matter and [website] operators should not provide any superlinks on their pages.

3. Be careful with religious and ethnic subjects.

4. Don't make fuss about foreign leaders at the opening ceremony, especially in relation to seat arrangements or their private lives.

5. We have to put special emphasis on ethnic equality. Any perceived racist terms as "black athlete" or "white athlete" is not allowed. During the official telecast, we can refer to Taiwan as "Chinese Taipei". In ordinary times, refer to Taiwanese athletes as "those from the precious island Taiwan....." In case of any pro Taiwan-independence related incident inside the venue, you shall follow restrictions listed in item 1.

6. For those ethnic Chinese coaches and athletes who come back to Beijing to compete on behalf of other countries, don't play up their "patriotism" since that could backfire with their adopted countries.

7. As for the Pro-Tibetan independence and East Turkistan movements, no coverage is allowed. There's also no need to make fuss about our anti-terrorism efforts.

8. All food saftey issues, such as cancer-causing mineral water, is off-limits.

9. In regard to the three protest parks, no interviews and coverage is allowed.

10. No fuss about the rehearsals on August 2,5. No negative comments about the opening ceremony.

11.No mention of the Lai Changxing case.

12.No mention of those who illegally enter China.

13.On international matters, follow the official line. For instance, follow the official propaganda line on the North Korean nuclear issue; be objective when it comes to the Middle East issue and play it down as much as possible; no fuss about the Darfur question; No fuss about UN reform; be careful with Cuba. If any emergency occurs, please report to the foreign ministry.

14. If anything related to territorial dispute happens, make no fuss about it. Play down the Myanmar issue; play down the Takeshima island dispute.

15. Regarding diplomatic ties between China and certain nations, don't do interviews on your own and don't use online stories. Instead, adopt Xinhua stories only. Particularly on the Doha round negotiation, US elections, China-Iran co-operation, China-Aussie co-operation, China-Zimbabwe co-operation, China-Paraguay co-operation.

16.Be very careful with TV ratings, only use domestic body's figures. Play it down when  rating goes down.

17. In case of an emergency involving foreign tourists, please follow the official line. If there's no official line, stay away from it.

18. Re possible subway accidents in the capital, please follow the official line.

19.Be positive on security measures.

20. Be very careful with stock market coverage during the Games.

21.Properly handle coverage of the Chinese sports delegation:

A.don't criticise the selection process

B.don't overhype gold medals; don't issue predictions on gold medal numbers; don't make fuss about  cash rewards for athletes.

C.don't make a fuss about isolated misconducts by athletes.

D.enforce the publicity of our anti-doping measures.

E. put emphasis on  government efforts to secure the retirement life of atheletes.

F. keep a cool head on the Chinese performance. Be prepared for possible fluctations in the medal race.

G. refrain from publishing opinion pieces at odds with the official propangada line of the Chinese delegation.

鬼佬医生没错的，阿莫西林也是属于青霉素类的药物
阿莫西林又叫羟氨苄青霉素（通用名），属半合成青霉素类，一般用来口服。最早在我们国家，服用阿莫西林是经常不做皮试的（因为是口服药），很多人吃了没事也就没事了。因为服用阿莫西林出现过敏性休克的几率非常非常小，偶尔出现皮疹什么的过敏症状，一般停药可消失。但近十年来我国大医院也都要求皮试（特别是对首次服药的小孩），对成人则一般要询问过敏史，如你对青霉素过敏就最好不要服用阿莫西林类，两者之间存在交叉过敏反应。也许这几次没事，下次说不定就有过敏症状了。就算是同一个厂家生产的青霉素，不同的批号也会有不同的结果。意思是也许你对这个批号过敏，对另外一个批号却不过敏 哎呀，一不小心，说得比较复杂，总之，变态反应是一种很复杂的人体免疫过程，和很多因素有关，个人的体质状态呀，空腹等等。
头孢是属于头孢菌素类抗生素，如你对头孢（口服？or 注射？）不过敏，根据病情可选用头孢，但如果要注射，肯定是要做皮试的。我不清楚在澳洲，如果口服的话，是否只要询问过敏史就可，如医生要求你皮试，那是他们的规矩，你就得做皮试。
对了，青霉素和阿莫西林的英文都没有错

91. The time has come to make a choice.

这里的thetime是指「关键性的时刻」，就是没时间再让你想东想西。比如说你参加了《超级大富翁》，这一题的答案实在是不知道该选蛋黄还是纸条，而时间已经到了，主持人就会对你说：The time has come to make achoice.或是你脚踏两条船，东窗事发了，此时你踏的那两艘船就会对你说：The time has come to make a choice.
92. Do I make myself clear?

「我说得够清楚吗？」Do I make myself clear?，这就相当于中文的「你明白吗？」
通常Do I make myself clear?的使用时机是在吵架，或是上对下的批评，但是其中带
有「警告」的意味，就是有人屡劝不听，你已经受不了而给他最后警告时，最后就可补上这一句Do I make myself clear?
93. There's no turning back.

依字面上来看，There's no turning back.就是「没有退路。」的意思，凡是遇到势在
必行，决定了就不能反悔的事情，都可以说There's no turning back.。说得文言一点
就是「背水一战」。
94. Time is always against us.

against就是「跟……相反，跟……作对」，所以Time is always against us.这句就
是「时间总是跟我们作对。」也就是在抱怨时间不够时，常常会脱口而说的一句话。例如答应老师放学前把作业交出来，没想到时光飞逝，转眼就放学了，这个时候你就可以感叹地说：Time is always against us.

A pill that may "lock in "weight loss and allows dieters to return to normal eating without pilling on the kilos is now available,scientists claim.
Researchers say the pill,a dietary supplement called alpha-lipoic acid that is widely sold in health food shops,works in tandem with a dieting plan.
A weight loss program for six months is the first stage,followed by use of the pills,which have the added benefit of an anti-ageing effect.
But the claims have triggered a row over whether research findings made in rats apply to humans.
Malcolm Goyns,director of Immorgene Concepts,the scientific research company in england that led the research,said he was sufficiently convinced to try approach himself.
"It seems alpha-lipoic acid fools the body into behaving as if t was still on whatever diet it was following,"he said.

I am astonished by the paranoia expressed here about China. China is the workshop of the world, and it would be disastrous for our economy to seek a policy of confrontation with this country. On the contrary, we urgently need to tighten our links with China and forge a strong political and economic partnership before countries like Russia and India beat us to it. What is at stake is many thousands of British jobs! I have no time for the bleeding hearts who find faults in any nation. Grow up!
令我一场吃惊的是这里表现的这些对于中国的无需有的担心。中国是全球的工作室，如果抵制这个国家的政策实施，那对于我们自己的经济将是致命的灾难。反过来讲，我们急切地需要加强与中国的关系，我们需要赶在俄罗斯和印度前面，马上和中国结成政治上和经济上的联盟。我们可能会失去成千上万的就业机会。但是我已经没时间去让流血的心去归咎错误与其他国家，长大吧！

You think that in the west we are 'free' and in China they are not ? At least in China I can sit in a bar and have a smoke !!!
你就认为我们西方人拥有自由，而中国人没有自由？至少在中国我可以在酒吧里吸烟！
Chris, High Wycombe


Yes, when the sum of human history is taken into account, and audited for oppression of man by man, the terrible hardship and imposition of taking a few steps outside the door to have a smoke will surely be considered as worse than tianamen square and the cultural revolution combined.
是的，从人类历史的角度上看人对人的压迫，。。。。需要多走几步到室外才可以吸烟将会是比天安门广场事件和文化大革命加起来更严重的人对人的压迫。 （因为我不吸烟，这个我可没意识到！）

"China has no deeds as dark as ours!"
中国不需要向我们一样的阴暗！
Ian Cheese.

Have you not heard of Mao's Cultural Revolution? It was a struggle for power within the Communist Party of China that manifested into wide-scale social, political, and economic violence and chaos, which grew to include large sections of Chinese society and eventually brought the entire country to the brink of civil war. Millions of people had their human rights annulled and were forcibly displaced. It is estimated that 40 million died!
你没听说过毛的文化大革命么？它源自于党内势力的斗争，发展而危及国家范围的，社会，政治，经济。毛最终获得胜利，成千上万的人被害，4千万！

China: Ally or threat? China is a very big nation $tate; the 21st Century is their century... not the Amerikan century. We should try to get along with them... or else.
中国，21世纪将不再是美国世纪，而是中国世纪。我们应该尽量学会怎样和他们共处。
Also... when was the last time China sent their military forces overseas to bomb and invade distant lands... such as Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Afghanistan, Iraq-nam, etc? When was the last time China sent troops and planes to bomb foreign capitals to assassinate the leaders there... such as Panama, Libya, Grenada, etc?
中国什么时候派遣军队到海外去爆破和入侵像朝鲜，越南，老挝，柬埔寨，阿富汗，伊朗之类的国家了？你什么时候看中国派军队去轰炸外国首都，暗杀别国领导人，例如：巴拿马，利比亚，关岛？

China is a world threat to gobal warming and has the capabliter
to be a bullying world super power and would not concern it self with civilian lives or the rights of POW in any war or other Issues
中国队全球变暖和二氧化碳上升都是一个威胁。

BE very afraid if China becomes a super power ( like the USA or USSR) It would not think twice as striking at any country or person it does not like or who tells the most frighting thing THE TRUTH TO THE WORLD..............!
我很担心一旦中国成为前苏联或者美国那样强大，他会毫不犹豫地经济封锁他所不喜欢的国家或者人。我在这里告诉世界这个最令人害怕的真相。

Even the Chinese government has admitted that the Cultural Revolution was unfortunate. Today, things are different, but not so different that people can be confident they will not face reprisals for pursuing complaints about problems and abuses. Why should it be a surprise that many in the West sympathize with those in Taiwan who do not want such a condition to spread to their island, or those in Tibet who wish to see it gone from where they liive?
连中国政府都承认了文化大革命是一个错误。今天，世界不同了，但是还不至于人民自信到他们将不会对他们曾经受到的责备和不公而进行报复。那就是为什么需要感到很吃惊有那么多西方人支持台湾和西藏DL。（这段翻译的不通 ）

China: Ally or threat?

Without wishing to sit on the fence too much, there's 1.3 BILLION of them, my guess is that they could equally and simultaneously be both in equally extreme measures.
我不用过去亲自看就知道对于一个拥有13亿人的中国，他们同时既是盟友，又是威胁。

"Is China an ally or a threat?"

I don't know. When was the last time China invaded or bombed another country?

Reg Rainmac, Kingsley & Steve Strongbow:
This "Have your say" is not asking about which countries are a threat, it is merely asking for your opinion on China. Why do people find it necessary to debate the Muslim/West issue in completely unrelated forums.
名叫发表你的观点，但实际上却没有问你哪个国家才是威胁，而是问你怎样看待中国。为什么大家都觉得有必要在一个完全不相关的论坛，去讨论穆斯林与西方国家的冲突？
I believe China is neither ally nor threat, just a country looking out for its own interests (Just like the rest of the world.) Also the fact that 86% of Chinese are happy with the direction the country is taking, shows that it is progressing
我认为中国既不是盟友，也不是威胁。而仅仅是一个向世界上其他国家一样的正在寻求发展的国家，而实际上有86%的中国人赞同国家的发展方向，认为这是一种进步。

I find it appalling the way the media, especially the BBC is whipping up anti China hysteria. Maybe we can learn a lot from the way China goes about its internal affairs. A little less press freedom may be a good thing in this country. Most of the press and Tv news in this country is just BULLS**T.
我觉得BBC传播反华攻势的方式是骇人听闻的，也许我们可以了解更多的关于中国如何处理其内政。也许少一点新闻自由对我们国家来说其实是一件好事，绝大多数的媒体和电台都胡说八道。

Some Westerners have a kind of inborn prejudice when they face orient cultures and societies. They confuse all orient cultures togather from a European heliocentric point of view. How many of those people who critisize China hysterically have travelled in China themselves? Please comment on Cinese goverment's Tibet policy after you visit Lahsa. The gate is open to all of you.
一些西方人在评论东方文化和社会的时候有一点主观臆断。他们把西方的观点和东方的文化混淆，你们有多少人去过中国，请去过西藏以后再去评价中国政府和其西藏政策。西藏对所有人开放。

They are an economic threat but that's the game we have have decided to play and they just happen to have decided to join in properly. I would like to see them more supportive on the environment.
I don't feel threatened in terms of their military might, the UK doesn't even register on the world radar anymore.
I applaud their efforts on population control.
Generally speaking the Chinese seem decent people with a magnificent culture and history.
A balance for the US, Russia and India.
在经济上是一种威胁，但是这正是我们制定的游戏，现在他们只不过是合法的加入了这个游戏的竞争。我当然更愿意看到他们会支持环保。
我不认为他们在军事上是一种威胁。
我赞赏他们在人口控制上所作的努力。
一般来讲，中国人看起来比较诚恳，有文化内涵
是对于美国俄罗斯印度的一种平衡。
