Equal Treatment for All

There are some accusations stigmatizing China made by the international media recently.Coming from a sense of superiority,adopted by some American politicians and media agencies since the outbreak of the pandemic to demonize and stigmatize China,they are now describing Westerners as victims of discrimination in China.Those reports even said that Africa ns,who historically have a deep f「ien dship with the Chinese,have been subjected to acts of'Yacism,*in China.The fact is that some of China's supermarkets,gyms,bars,hotels and other public places do not allow people to enter in groups,neither Chinese nor foreigners,as a measure of pandemic prevention and control.Also,a quarantine period is in place for people entering the country,including Chinese and foreigners.

AU Yeung Ying Chai is a Hong Kong resident. Although well traveled he has never considered emigrating. Despite rising housing prices and worsening air pollution, Au Yeung still loves his city of birth.Au Yeung recently bought a workshop in a remote corner of Hong Kong. He has built a kitchen on its balcony. "I think of it as my cookery laboratory," explains Au Yeung. He has recently written and published two books on Hong Kong cuisine, Eat Half Full ¨C The Climax of Life and Tastes of Hong Kong. The latter looks into the origins, development and distinct ingredients of Hong Kong cooking. It is popular on the mainland as well as in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.Hong Kong is famous as the city of cuisine. Its chefs proudly proclaim to all interested gourmands that fresh ingredients from around the world can be found in Hong Kong. ~~International cuisine is served at Hong Kong's many restaurants and hotels, often tasting better than at its place of origin. There are also enthusiastically attended cuisine festivals throughout the year at the city's 10,000 or so restaurants.     

Corporate Social Responsibility——A Rite of Passage for Chinese Enterprises

CHINESE people often derisively refer to the rapidly prepared offerings of McDonald's and KFC as "junk food." Yet it was these two fast food giants that made the common people of China aware of the corporate social responsibilities (CSR) undertaken by transnational companies. When McDonald's and KFC entered China in the 1990s, public toilets were scarce and the facilities in hotels and restaurants were not for public use. But McDonald's and KFC allowed anyone at all. whether or not they were customers, to use their washrooms. The McDonald's and KFC logos consequently have particular significance to members of the Chinese general public, whether or not they eat there. A similar public spiritedness is now being displayed by a number of Chinese enterprises that have begun to make their washroom facilities open to the public. On rainy days, signs can also be seen in certain stores assuring shoppers that they are: "Welcome to take shelter from rain." It would appear, therefore, that corporate social responsibility, a concept introduced by transnational companies, is being taken on by Chinese enterprises.     

Handle with Care

THE Chinese people are justly proud of their food, martial arts and traditional medicine, regarding them as China's national treasure. Millions overseas enjoy Chinese cuisine, and also practice Chinese martial arts for physical fitness as well as selfdefense.

Is Peking Opera to Be Seen Or Heard？

IF, one evening at the theater, you are seated at a table, rather than in a row of seats, and sipping tea and eating peanuts as your neighbors stamp their feet and shout their approval, the chances are you are watching a Peking Opera performance. Nowadays several Beijing theaters show a daily pastiche of extracts from famous operas, featuring acrobatics and martial arts (but not too much singing) that cater to the tastes of Western tourists. Chinese Opera lovers disdain such performances because they lack artistic authenticity. They regard the Westerners that so enjoy such "military" operas as slow-witted children ignorant of the degree of artistry with which Peking Opera is imbued. Theatergoers with a true appreciation of this extraordi-     

The Joy of Eating and Its Social Ramifications

When Chinese people meet, rather than remark on the weather they generally ask, “Have you eaten？” It is a question less frequently asked of neighbors and colleagues than the more global, “How are you？” Yet “Have you eaten ？” is still the first greeting that the majority of Chinese people utter when they meet someone they know. Implicit in it is the Chinese appreciation of food and gratitude for its abundance.     

The Five Elements

THE Chinese concept of the Five Elements-metal,wood,water,fire and earth-came into existence millelennia ago.Similar to the theory of yin and yang,as elaborated in the Book of Changes,it is used to interpret constant changes in the universe and the interconnectedness of different beings.The order of the five elements relates to the theory of mutual promotion and restraint among them when they form a circle.

BAD BOYS, BAD BOYS, WHATCHA GONNA DO?

Wang Lijun is coming for you. IN Western media, Chinese police officers generally get bad press. Tales of torture, intimidation and miscarriages of justice frequently appear in news bulletins and RSS feeds. But if the chief of police in Jinzhou, a city in Northeast China's Liaoning Province, has his way, all that is about to change. Wang Lijun is using his considerable experience and knowledge in the field to train his charges in a whole new way. He hopes the results can serve as a model for the entire country. The police have perhaps never before been under as intense scrutiny as they are in this age of information and camera-equipped mobile phones. These days the public pays much more attention to their actions. So eliminating corruption from the force - a difficult job in any country - seemed to Wang Lijun a good place to start, and he says he's personally overseeing that task. He's revamped the complaints department - notorious wastes of space in China - and personally interviews local citizens that have complaints against the cops. He says he has done this 700 times in the three and a half years since the new system was put in place, and 95 percent of the complaints were satisfactorily resolved.
