When I looked for that map on Google, the city of Taiyuan looks like a pretty cosmopolitan place. Skyscraper hotels, lots of industry, traffic and neon signs. This is hardly being dumped into some hick frontier town. This story seems a little odd to me as well.

And we are doing so much business with this hospitable place. The guy got nearly beat up and spit on, I presume because he was an American Capitalist Pig?

WHY do we do biz with this country? Oh yeah, our businessmen think they can con the ChiComs into letting us sell to their billions of consumers.

Not gonna happen without a fight.

Language is a barrier when you are in China because not just everyone on the streets speaks English, but he was at the airport. He could have asked people at the airline counter to help him book a room at a suitable hotel and call a cab, so that the cab driver knew before he picked him up where he was supposed to take him. I can't believe he just hopped in a cab and said take me to any hotel. I think this guy is just an idiot. I can't believe they wrote up a whole dramatic story about his idiotic adventures.
