Howard W. French (IHT) writes a very funny article about some of his last flight experience in the Hongqiao Airport in Shanghai. Like I have in the past two Years on different routes also experienced, not as extreme as French, but still, the general situation of a little customer service and lack of information I can confirm. The following is a brief excerpt:

The misery is compounded by a lack here of many of the niceties of first world economies - notions like passengers' rights, straightforward and timely information, or for that matter, departure halls where announcements are not shouted until you've been battered into submission.

About the scissors in the head

quickly So, as I said two days ago, my blog is not dead because I read an interesting report, as it to ignore it. And my reading habits of the past two years can not move as quickly as I could take the China-focus immediately.

Anyway, Christof Siemes has the time written a readable report on press freedom. He interviews is the deputy editor of China Daily (the English-language daily newspaper, which I got in Foreign Experts Building read every day for free, mostly ignored it) and the Vice Director of the Renmin Ribao (People's Daily, the party organ). He also talks to Wang Xiaoshan, a dissident journalist. The result is a complex Picture of the situation, but which is hardly cause for hope. For Further Reading's goes here .

The last picture

It was a stressful, but towards the end, very beautiful last day in China. Stressful, because I had to exchange money and things to pack (there are not more than 20 kg ??!!). Nice, because I've met in the evening, Nick, my American colleagues from last year. Nick is now studying in a PhD program at Princeton, and under this program makes it just a language course in Beijing. We ate Jiaozi, drank beer and talked of old times and the needs of the present. With Nick, I then made at the east gate of the university and the last image in China, or a slightly overwhelmed Chinese student did it for us.

Yesterday I was at half past seven in the morning drove to the airport (this time without accompaniment, for he who departs, can avail a nothing more), but the Head of the Foreign Office adopted - a pure coincidence that he was just at the entrance was when I logged off me. That it back into Heathrow anger was heard already on running gag (if it's also never been funny) the last two years flights British Airways , until midnight, I was in Hamburg, where my father tired even to me waited.

farewell

is the second year in China end. As it currently looks like I will not soon return again. Although I had several offers to continue working as an editor, but I did not seem to be promising, because the conditions remain unchanged, regardless of how long you have taught here, or what experiences you've done before. In addition, there are no opportunities to develop themselves professionally. Therefore, it seems to me correct to conclude this chapter. I also think that after nearly six years at the time to return to Germany and me there in a professional respect, educate and find new tasks.

Perhaps this is indeed the situation is different once again be able to return to this fascinating country. For now, however, remains for me a warm and 再见 谢谢 您!

Gray hair

I have discovered in recent days, some gray hair, here are the culprits:





Almost one hundred students (not all classes, there are photos) I know and appreciate this year and learned. It of course has not always been fun, but it was a very exciting experience. There were some differences to my students in Dalian. This was, of course, especially at the universities where I worked and where I could teach literature students. This is why I am grateful for this second year and the chance at very prestigious universities to teach and learn about those who are among the best Chinese graduates of their vintages. You will be prepared in these universities for a future in the more important positions, the State and society have open. My mind to have done a very small proportion, and this brought young people close to the German language, literature and European culture to have, makes me a bit proud.

The few gray hairs I take it in their stride.

Ten years

to ten-year anniversary of the port of Hong Kong to the People's Republic, there is a detailed blog entry titled China's political legacy at Simon World , who also cited all the articles from the Economist to the event, after reading the information you really exhaustive.

Simon World also linked to the highly readable article by Daisann McLane , one living in Hong Kong and New York journalist who writes in the online magazine Slate of The Hong Kong handover hangover .

over the official painting Halcyon Days Pearl that was given for the tenth anniversary in order - a personality cult in which it drives a cold shiver down the spine - Image Thief writes in the brief article We're Hu Jintao's Lonely Hearts Club Volume .

addition, I refer to Petra Alden council short text on tagesschau.de from which I would like to quote briefly:

on television are political Satires transmitted on the Internet is discussed on democracy, the newspapers and the radio spread information that is taboo in communist China. However, despite the freedoms since the acquisition of the former crown colony by Beijing appeared a frightening phenomenon, the Hong Kong political scientist Joseph Cheng has noted: the self-censorship. "The greatest danger is that Hong Kong people are less willing to challenge Beijing. They always say less 'No' to Beijing. If you durchblätterst the newspapers of the last ten years, China's leaders are not criticized directly," says Cheng.

not be true in Hong Kong dissidents jailed or simply disappear without a trace, as in Communist China. But more and more journalists simply do without criticizing the Beijing government. Most are simply afraid for their jobs, so political scientists Cheng. "Almost all media are powerful corporate bosses in Hong Kong and all these companies have major interests on the mainland, they do business there This is the reason of self-censorship, we are so dependent.. of the Chinese economy, which makes us impotent, people are afraid to stand up for their rights. "

order business with the booming mainland not to threaten journalists from their media bosses are encouraged to write anything that the government in Beijing or the individual local authorities could annoy. Beijing-critical journalists are gradually replaced by Beijing-friendly.
