Pick a better source next time. I don't think the Chinese Communists can be relied on for objective reporting. Here's the run down on your source.


Asia Times Online, http://www.atimes.com and http://www.asiatimes-chinese.com , is a quality Internet-only publication that reports and examines geopolitical, political, economic and business issues. We look at these issues from an Asian perspective; this distinguishes us from the mainstream English-language media, whose reporting on Asian matters is generally by Westerners, for Westerners. Our Chinese-language edition presents our articles to Chinese readers around the world.


We are served by more than 30 correspondents and contributors in 13 Asian countries, the US, and Europe. Additional content is provided by news services and renowned think tank and investment analysts and academics.

Asia Times Online was founded at the beginning of 1999 and is incorporated and duly registered in Hong Kong. It derives its revenues from advertising and the resale of original content to other publications and news services.

Historically, in our publication policy and editorial outlook, we are the successor of Asia Times, the Hong Kong/Bangkok-based daily print newspaper founded in 1995 and associated with the Manager Media Group, which had to cease publication in the summer of 1997 as a result of the Asian financial crisis. Like its predecessor, Asia Times Online gives its readers worldwide an overview of Asian news events, looking behind the headlines that are the stuff of the news agencies and networks.

It's Hong Kong. "Technically" communist china. In practice, as unbridled a capitalist haven as ever. (I was just there a few months ago). Also, I wouldn't be surprised if that article was written by a westerner - lots of expats live there. Go visit someday, it's fun.

FYI,
Im fully aware of the political stand of the sources which I read and post and Im not one to believe even half of what I read but rather put various pieces together from various sources and then compare them to each other to gain a better perspective of the issues.

Im especially very skeptical when I read anything which comes out of China or has anything to do with China.

Thanks trying to look out for me though.

Best Regards!

You know, I think this article did a decent job.

Better than some of our own sources, such as National Pathetic radio. :)
