I think the WSJ can safely fire 53 employees. They are not part of the solution, they are part of the problem.

FIRE THOSE BASTARDS

Its good that the 53 weak links have self-identified.

Their names should be widely publicized, so no self-respecting news organ will ever hire them.

The fact is, China IS a fragile economy, and it has been severely stressed over the past couple of months. This may or may not be a revelation the Chinese want make known to the world, but their wishes in this matter are not relevant. The rest of the world cannot afford to make errors based on misinformation about the present state of the Chinese economy.

Is China the “Sick Old Man of Asia”? That may be a very apt description, and nothing at all to apologize for simply because it was borught to the world’s attention.

The Chinese government claimed that use of the term “Sick Man of Asia” in the headline of the Feb. 3 article was racist toward the Chinese people.

Sometimes racial groups earn their bad reputations by their actions... My suggestion is if they want more respect they should stop stealing intellectual property, stop running bio-labs lacking the ethics to protect others, and stop unfair (cheating)trade practices, and stop treating their citizens like caged research animals.

They certainly know which buttons to push, don't they?

Besides, communist is not a race.
