Chinese offer ‘throne’ for first lady’s use
By Tatsudo Akayama, Asia Correspondent for Daily Republican Newspaper
TOKYO DESK - Chinese authorities in Ziang have reportedly built a throne, of sorts, for the first lady, Hillary Rodham Clinton. It is a portable “regal restroom” for her use during the China trip.
According to Liz Sly who is in Beijing this week, the water closet’s $23,000 price tag even exceeds by about 30 times the average annual income of the typical worker in Beijing.
