ahoj!!

FYI I came across this ( the largest ? ) Chinese internet portal.
www.sohu.com

It has banner ads for Microsoft and the Dow it even has message boards.

It is, as you can imagine, difficult to follow because of the font; it is mostly all in squares.
However, if you run your cursor over the links it shows where they go in English (
developed by ? ).

I have not, as of yet, seen a lot. Please have a look and if you people find anything of
interest please post it.

I did find this message board ( 1 of many ) at
202.106.124.71

Some of the messages are in English ( as this one is ).
This one, while humorous ( well, I think so )is perhaps not the best
for US - China relations:

President's message to China's leaders:

"O.K., boys, you've had your fun now. You've sucked up everything from
our nuclear labs. I just want you to know a couple of things. First, we're
going to step up our electronic spying on you. In fact, we're going to be
bouncing so many microwaves off your Defense Ministry your generals are
going to feel like rotisserie chickens.

"Second, I have heard enough about the bombing of your embassy in
Belgrade. We both know it was an accident, and if you keep it up, I'm
going to close the visa window at our embassy in China. After all, your
people wouldn't want to visit a war-mongering country like ours. Could be
dangerous. You want to play footsie with the Russians? Be my guest.
Let's see how many of your young people want to go to Moscow
University for an M.B.A. By the way, there's no Disney World in
Vladivostok.

"My Chinese friends, you're not the only ones with power and weight in
this relationship. I'm struggling to keep this thing on track. But if you're
not ready to do the same, if it just isn't important enough for you to
stand up to your lunatics, then we will end up in a cold war. And if you
think China can develop without us, well, then the opium trade must have
come back to your shores.

"Last time I checked you had a $60 billion trade surplus with us. Oh, I'm
sure the Russians would be happy to buy your exports and give you
rubles. Rubles, yes, they make wonderful wallpaper. You get my drift? So
let's cut the bluster and resume a sensible relationship."
