Note that most of the 11-year-old Chinese girls are working around 90 hours per week in the factories of Walmart. Is not that a good thing that the Chinese government is allowing children under 11 years on the Olympic team?

But the Chinese government says are 11 and there is absolutely no reason not to believe them. That is, the morning mist that descends upon the city (cough, cough), the sites visit (Tiannemen stay away from the Plaza) and the friendly people that descend upon me (and beat me with batons). Why the lie about China?

I like Chinese painting Guohua accidentally while I was hanging and now there are a lot of wrinkles that can not leave the paper. How can I make the paper smooth appearance without ironing or techniques that may damage the paint?

Take it to a professional art restorer, or you can go to a frame shop where they have a dry mount machine and be able to dry the piece of news for you. Whatever you decide to do, have someone who knows what they are doing. Do not treat yourself!

Chinese shares in Tibet are as bad as the Soviets in Afghanistan ago few years. The then Moscow Olympics were boycotted by some countries as a form of protest. Should we boycott the Olympics to show our disapproval?

As someone who once visited there up to the Chinese side of MT. Everest, I hope not. Tibetans should be left in peace and only by the Chinese and the governments of India and Pakistan for us and helped the United States. I would like to see us end a lot of trade with 8astards, spying to us, send lead-based imports of toys and products and everything else is suspect. Boycotting the Olympics? I regret to say that not to do that because not sit well with Americans when Carter did before. Damn good question though!
