Insider, so do u mean that: i) You make the ASSUMPTION that ALL chinese people and media love yao and think that yao plays very well in NBA ii) Then you find the FACT that SOME of them diss yao and think that he does'nt play well in NBA iii) Then you think it's funny May I tell you that we all have different opinion. The FACT is not funny at all, it's your ASSUMPTION that's funny.
Right... "I don't want to name the province because I don't want to offend anyone..." Instead, you'll just slander the entire country... Stop tryin' to be "sensitive" and tell us where you read this. Just about every newspaper, even the provincial ones, are available online these days. I'll be more than happy to check out these newspapers and see if you're tellin' the truth. And ya know what? I don't think you are. So yea, there's a challenge there for you.
whatever, i just posted something i thought was funny. didn't expect it to turn out to be like this. oh well, YOU WANT THE TRUTH, YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!
I believe insider, he has nothing to gain from this. A lot of asians are critical of Yao saying he's too slow, cant win tip-offs, cant rebound, etc. But they are critical because they care about Yao.
yeah, I found those criticism funny. I remember on ESPN boards, there is a "Fool Exposer" who has some serious issue with Rox/Yao. Every time Rox lost a game he is there madly bashing up & down; when Rox won, it's "pure luck". He is most relentlessly bashing YAO & never had anything good to say about him. See, no matter what Yao does, he can not please everybody.
it's so funny.....I can't stop laughing ....what a insider..... First, he said something about chinese are selling blood for food. now they hate Yao. what's next? really funny
There is some truth here: Most chinese treat sports like politics (reason? because they can not freely express their opion in that area). In US, half american would bad mouth Bush, in China, half chinese would be critical of Yao. There is no surprise many chinese are critcal of Yao, but they are really care about Yao.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/2514759.stm click that link for proof on that selling blood for money thing. don't believe me, read it for yourself and check out the photo. that's sad. there's nothing funny about that. and that's not insider info. people in china previously never had to deal with hiv, but since foreigners started living there, the virus spread since through various methods. they only recently started educating people on the disease and now i heard in order to control the epidemic, people have to get tested for all stds in order to get married over there. some people just can't handle the truth. also if you look at the map over there, they show anhui is a province that is only a little farther from shanghai, i wasn't lying about people being poor outside of shanghai. dumba$$.
i thought you said selling blood for food. not for the money. there's a big difference. if it's former, people may get the impression that those people in China are so poor that they have to sell their blood to feed themselves. but the truth is those people just make easy money for whatever reason. maybe they're just lazy or addicted to drugs. that's not that terrible.
see, i tell the truth. i'm the insider. also i never said people in china are poor. i just said certain areas of china are very poor. like that anhui province, that's one really poor area. i'm not from there, but i asked someone about that area and they confirmed it's messed up. also the hospitals in certain areas of china are really f**ked up and dirty. but they did start using new and clean needles instead of reusing recently. thank god. by the way, where is uac?
Umm about AIDS and selling blood problem in China, I have answer you once in the previous thread. May be you did not noticed it. Here is what I post. PS: The article is from The British Journal of medicine which is a world wide respected medical journal.
I do not know about The Chinese dislike Yao, though. I think that they are proud of him but being critical. Also, you cannot expect all billion people to like you.
i know i'm proud of yao, but when he misses a easy layup; i still have the right to call him a scrub.
I don't know how anyone can argue that China is *not* poor. China, as a whole, is clearly a poor nation. Its GDP per-capita, per capita income all clearly show that China's a developing nation. There's not much to dispute about this. And parts of rural Anhui is indeed poor. That said, I still don't believe what you (or your brother, if he exists) said in this newspaper. Someone's either lying, or misinterpreting the newspaper. That's why I say again: tell us what province your brother is reporting from, and we'll look up the newspapers and see for ourselves. Until you do so, I think we're all perfectly justified in assuming you're anything BUT an insider.
I'm hidding...beacuse I can't read. I don't know the difference between "selling blood for food" and "selling blood for money". I don't know how to look at map, I thought from shanghai to Anhui is at least 8 hours drive...it's a little farther I'm only 3 years old and a dumba$$ forgive me
china is also one of the fastest growing economies. and seriously, i think some people here are overly suspicious. i have no reason to lie. my brother is in a small city in china. how the f**k am i supposed to know what newspapers he read it from? i can't even read chinese. he could be lying to me. how should i know? i don't ask him everything. i'm all the way in nyc. he can't afford to call me long distance. it's more expensive to call from china than for me to call him. but i don't even know his number. i know my brother can read chinese. that guy can speak three different chinese dialects and trick people into believing he come from certain areas. cause he's so damn fluent. and second, i never claimed to be an insider. it's you idiots who keep on calling me that. i was joking before about being the insider. i was being sarcastic you know since everybody kept on calling me insider.
There's nothing funny about it. It's just a cultural difference. I think 99% Chinese are proud of Yao. If not, why a lot of Chinese-American (if they still be included in the Chinese) went to see Yao show in every city Yao played. But definitely a lot of Chinese criticize him becuase they want him improve soon. The reason is a lot of Chinese believe the punishment is good for a man to grow in stead of Praise, though in the schools nowdays more teacher adopt praise method. It's pretty evident that last year the coach of Chinese national Team continued to say Yao was not good enough to be a good player though he's No.1 draft (of course, partly didn't like to take his responsibility for loss). It's pretty interesting that Yao always praise his teammates and opponent. Maybe a lot of Chinese can learn from Yao.
