Sorry guys, my Chinese skills ran into trouble because the following is a Taiwanese news-article, written in traditional Chinese characters. I'm...
Wow, so lucky! I spent Christmas at Sanya a few years back. Are you at Sanya or Haikou? And are you from Hainan originally, or a recent...
I'd like to nominate this man for the "Most Ignorant about China" award. He also has a good shot at the "Most Ignorant about Yao Ming" award,...
Francis for J-Will? That's not a bad idea at all. Francis has some lingering health issues, and he's about to sign for the max. J-Will you...
I think 'banjielan' means blocking shots? Thanks for the great links!
Sorry Anti-Yao folks, a couple more of your favorite gripes taken care of... (promises of the full season, and a full health examination.)...
Well, I think basketball in China is more like the equivalent of outdoor soccer in the US... As far as "why" it's a big deal, I think it comes...
A couple of things... - soccer is still by far the more popular sport. - the majority of Chinese aren't really used to watching sports...

Are you confusing coach Li Qiuping with Sharks vice-president Li Yaomin?
Hahaha, is that really the case? Very cool. I don't know if you boys down in Houston are aware of this, but basketball is definitely *the*...
That's ridiculous. Ming defecting and keeping his 50% would do nothing toward reforming China. All that would happen is he would help cripple...
Yao Ming defecting for the money would be like Allen Iverson trading his corn-rows for a crew-cut, multiplied by about a thousand. Yao Ming's a...
One theory on why Goldberg is in Korea: World Cup! The US is still in action in Korea, and if Goldberg was already in the area and had a few...
I think windandsea has earned the trip. I also think the best reward you can give the Chinese fans, in general, is to root on Yao Ming like he...
Yes, and team China is also playing the United States on Aug. 22nd in an exhibition game in Oakland. I doubt that game'll be televised, but...
A good and very interesting article. Much needed for the West to learn about China, and Yao Ming is indeed a great ambassador. But the above...
