shame the Lingdao pai don't read Kotaku. Read more

the Chinese doctor was only briefly in the US cut. In the Chinese cut, his scene is prolonged to about a minute or so. They then add the stupid scene at the end with Fan Bingbing walking down a corridor then the surgery scene. Read more

I wish it would get to the point where it does some good, but right now it looks to be just terrible. Read more

Well in the movie in Chinese, he says "China can help" I was like wtf. Why does an inconsequential doctor speak for China? Why would China want terrorists to attack it? China's ideas for Soft Power is really....Streets Behind. Read more

well...it depends, it's product placement in Transformers was much better than in Iron Man - i mean seriously, it's Ken Jeong. If you're referring to the ad on TV - i haven't seen the ad on tv yet. Read more

Man...you said it brother. - Well not so much fuck China but rather fuck the people in Charge. the regular Chinese folk are also sick of this bullshit (though educated and city dwelling at least) Read more

You know... maybe it's because I didn't read the subtitles, but in the movie in China and when his name shows up on screen, it was the Mandarin.

That aside, I think the Chinese connection is already started the cannibalize the integrity of movies. Hollywood says "they make loads of money from people going to theaters".… Read more

Seriously, how warped are these movie producers? It got me angry just reading that interview. It was hard not to rant too much. Read more

I went with the old school name for QQ Kart Racing, no clue what it's called now. Originally it was QQ 卡丁车 which then became 飞车.

The game is a client based one too. Which is strange how he got spammed. Tencent's been to scam their own players, not let other people scam them. Read more

definitely not 9000 rmb - the prize value was "58000"
I was like wtf myself when I saw that number. Read more

yeah - that's why it's 9437 - 58000RMB = 9437 USD
We added the total of 1800 with the 2500

Li was only able to pay the 1500 up front which is 244.

Have to make the currency USD, that way it's more accessible to readers who don't know conversion rates or don't care to convert it themselves. Sorry to have caused you any… Read more

You are correct! It's a conversion from Yuan - we left out the cents too! Read more

never said he sounded Canadian - he sounds furtherest from any Canadian's I've ever met in my life. I agree with you. He probably doesn't know how to read. =[ Read more

he's north American =] lol well actually Canadian. You know how they're slightly different from the USA Americans. Some of them even speak french! Read more

it's actually not hard =] I learned it in one go. The hard part actually comes at the end, when you try to determine the points and how much money you get =[ Read more

I really wish I could explain it to you properly. I recommend visiting your local university and auditing a class on China. (Though academics can't really tell you how CHina works either - because it's black magic (well no - they can, it's just really long and confusing.) A lot of what China is requires being in… Read more

I've dealt with Chinese directors before. They want it their way even though it's wrong. I don't know why but that's how they do things. Of course we're giving Genest the benefit of the doubt here. I mean, what if he just wanted to mess with the Chinese? Read more

Those Spoony Bards!!! Read more

I find it as both an economic and and industrial one and I've seen it as both =[. BUT, but! not to disregard your comment or to say you are wrong (BECAUSE you're not) I'd like to thank you for your input.

The reasoning why it's been called an industrial revolution of sorts is because its the modernisation of CHina. A… Read more

In China, it's easy to sell things like Wiring and Cables. There are loads of recycling centers which will take the stuff back. Read more
