Spending a significant amount of time in Shanghai the past few years, I've frequented the Shanghai fake market many times. While some portions sell knockoff goods, the fabric section is quite spectacular. I can get a bespoke 2 piece suit fo

Supercooled water for example could stay in liquid form if it was in a vessel with no imperfections. All it takes is one imperfection or seed to be thrown in, and the entire mixture will suddenly turn to ice, even though the temperature ha

The thing about China is that outsiders fundamentally do not know the inner workings of the PRC Politboro. In recent years, there have already been major changes in the structure of the system (see: Xi Jinping, Bo Xilai, etc.) that were unf

Coming from a poker background, ship it has the connotation of "shipping the pot" or winning the pot. Oftentimes players will yell "SHIP ITTTTT!!!" when they have won a large pot. This gives this phrase a little more positive connotation fo

While this is certainly a significant issue, I will say that experience has a significantly larger impact than a diploma in China. Specifically, when multinational companies hire in China, they value work experience much more than the diplo

The title is a little bit ambiguous, so here's a clarification. This is China's first manual space docking, not the first one ever performed. The US first accomplished this in 1966. Nevertheless, it is a big stepping stone for the Chinese s
