Why?

One of the best performers ever. One of the best performers I ever saw in China was about 2004 in Guiyang.  Her concert was sold out and was supposed to start at 8pm. But first, the introductions: There were a massive number of important party officials that need to be introduced before the concert. I was impatient because I saw a storm moving in and there were about 10,000 people in the stadium,…

Putin -- The Ultimate Competitor

During the Beijing Winter Olympics February 4 to February 20 I was watching sports and news on TV, typically, and in the middle of those two weeks of competition. I saw Putin show up in Beijing, but not to cheer on the Russian Olympic Team. He came to  talk about friendship and alliances with the Chinese leader.
