Looks like this isn't a hoax, but just a severe misquote (mis-translation?)....
I'm a newbie, so I'll let you guys decide if/when it's appropriate to throw a new thread out there. Let me just say speaking to any one Chinese...
I don't think that's the case. The Chinese curriculum includes English from 4th grade (or so) on, and most young college students with Internet...
I think this just confirms what most people expected... ... assuming negotiations with the CBA/Shanghai Sharks go smoothly, the Rockets seem...
Not to turn this too overtly political, nor to detract from what the idealistic students (of whom windandsea might be one) tried to achieve at...

Yea, I'd agree with youl. There's no doubt that Wang Zhizhi would've progressed much further if he could play during the summer leagues and...
Thanks for the welcome guys. I'm pretty amazed at how perfectly decent most seem on this site... not used to that from a sports BBS. :) To...
Uh... ... the reason Wang Zhizhi (and Mengke Bateer) were held back until mid-November last year is because of the Chinese National Games...
You've made this assertion several times now, TexasG. I'd like to see you provide a reference backing this up. I'm Chinese (living in...
