Beijing, China - Funny you should ask. Only yesterday, over a cup of coffee, a seasoned editor and I came to the conclusion that expressing opinions on the Middle East must be a pain in the you-know-what for the Chinese government.
China - North Korea is scary, even for the Chinese. Or, I should say, particularly for the Chinese.
China - I think China is the perfect place to allow gay marriage. Most people consider the Chinese government conservative and intolerant. But no one is aware that about 10 years ago, the Chinese army allowed one of its officers to have a sex change operation. The Chinese army, infantry, navy and air force, all have their own performance arts groups, as well as arts academies that offer courses in dance, theatre and painting. Jin Xin was a former male dancer who had won several awards in international competitions. His medical transformation to become a woman was performed in a military hospital reserved for officers only. After the operation, he actually stayed in the army for another 2 years before being discharged with honor.
