What Do You Think?
Almost all of my postings end with these four words.
There is a reason for that. I genuinely want to know what readers of my posts think. Nothing profound, eh?
I make it my point to find a nugget, a piece of info, a news event, something I think is interesting, and then post on it.
The discerning reader can generally tell where I stand by the way I present the info or ask the question.
However, the main purpose in my posts is to create a discussion, to cause the reader to have to grapple/deal/consider the info I have presented.
If someone reads a post of mine and then ponders even for a moment about what was written, I feel I have succeeded.
If a reader decides to write back and share an opinion, I am even more delighted.
However, if a reader will turn to a colleague, a friend, a family member and ask 'what do you think about…? then I am thrilled.
I hope that my posts will cause reflection, give insight, be the source of a discussion in something such as an ESL class.
I hope the readers here will learn something, think something, feel they know something more and can discuss it, will communicate with others about the topics and in the end…the world will become a better place…because we have talked.

Your negative criticisms of girls such as Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi are way off. Lips too fat or thin? What a ridiculous comment. If you can’t appreciate these lovely faces, send the girls to the UK where they will be suitably admired.
Those are just statistics, and worse yet they don’t even at least have a source, and or others to compared to in the same favor. Further more China would want to make that up just to impress their own oppression with favor. Their government is absolutely the most worst tyrannical government out there, and odds are China’s going to blow up the world, or there’s going to be an armed revolution from it’s citizens after sometime. No government wants to fear it’s citizens armed, because whether you fall for the tricks, and trends in the media today there’s the simple truth, born of experience, is that tyranny thrives best where government need not fear the wrath of an armed people. And our own history proves this sad fate.
Funny this one! Our lives are given a dollar value anyway, think of how much money your government is prepared to spend on health or spends on the military capasity to kill people. I don’t think it strange to draw dollar values on things but it can be awfully misleading not mention bad politically.
Regarding valuing girlfriends well I had a wife and I could calculate how much she cost me but never even guess at what she was worth to me. Some things just cannot be accurately costed, I can only tell you she cost me and was even worth to me a hell of a lot more than $320!
i think that if thats all china can get out of women, than they are gravely mistaken. maybe even gender mistaken
wow they are all so hot
All these Chinese girls are beautifu. You should not say any negative things about these girls. I bet your girlfriend or wife or any of your female friends are as attractive as these beautiful girls. Come on buddy, you have to be honest that these girls are very good looking. I would be one lucky man if I get to have one of them to be my girl.

Gongli: One side of her face is visibly larger than the other side; her face is as flat as a pancake. She is over the hill. Old and ugly. What Westerners think as hot, we real Asians think as ugly.
Zhang ZiYi: Her chin is too pointy; her face looks like a an upside down triangle. Too bony. She always look like she is pissed off at something, even when she smiles. Young and ugly.
Zhang Jingchu: so so. Big jaw.
Zhao Wei: Her nose and her mouth are too big for her face.
Liu Yifei: Slightly cross-eyed. Fat cheeks that make her face looks like an upside down light bulb.
Huang Shengyi: Horse-faced indeed.
Zhou Xun: Well-balanced eyes and nose, but the awfully ugly mouth making her looks whiny even when she smiles.
Cecilia Cheung: Pretty eyes, mouth, face, but ugly bumpy nose (sort of like a Westerner’s nose ahahahaha)
Xu Xiyuan: Cranky mouth making her looks like she is about to complain, complain, and nothing but complain.
Xu Xidi: Classical face, but the eyes are small and not well balanced.
What do I think? Well, I think Da “S” and Xiao “S” would be insulted by someone calling them Chinese. They are from Taiwan, hence Taiwanese. I think you ought to note that in your blog, even though the original also fails to do so. But you know China, they will claim anything Taiwan is theirs. I suppose the NY Yankees pitcher Wang Chien Ming is from China, too?
The Chinese/Tiawan top 10 are all beautiful and Zhang Ziyi is one of the top beauties in the world. As an older women Michelle Yeoh would also figure. I agree with the comment on Feb 15th, let them come to England. At least they would be welcome
I am an american visiting China. I must say that the posters that are depicted on the web are done tastefully and do not represent pornography. In america we have lots of nudity and in most places it is represented well. I believe that the most beautiful women in China are the Tsingtao women. Not only are they the most beautiful but the city is also one of the nicest I have visited. The personalities of the Tsingtao women come across as friendly and willing to help you even if you are unable to speak the language. I was lucky too have someone interpret my comments while I am here. By far I find china to be a very caring country. Of course just like any country there are those that do not represent it well when a forigner approaches them. Most of these type of people are the ones that feel they are better than the rest of the china people because they have a little money. Unfortunatly this representation comes across to americans as being unwilling to socialize with anyone that can not speak their language. Sad but true. But in general those that are not wealthy have a better outlook on forigners visiting. I also noticed that anytime I gave money to those who were less fortunate I would hear the people growl because they did not want me to give those people money. I have had the opprotunity to make that person smile once during their day and that brings me happiness within when I do that. Anyway, Time to go. Just wanted to say thanks for allowing me to visit your country and the posters are beautiful…

I am a chinese girl. Honestly, I don’t think these girls are too pretty. There are prettier chinese celebs, like Hebe from S.H.E
I think they are all beautiful. Anyone that can see beauty. If you disagree, then you aren’t human. It doesn’t matter where a person is from, you should judge them all the same. Black,white,yellow,or green. I still think they are beatiful,
intelligent, insightful and frontline.
