My Chinese is just not good enough to read it fluently, so I stick to my 汉语风 beginners book ;) (I have to write about this book, once I finish it) There is a lot of material written about this case in Chinese, just google for 性公园 重庆.

They should phrase like 'In China a private investor will build' and there wouldn't be any misunderstandings. Thanx for clarifying that, Junjie. And I have to add, I still don't like the idea of this park, on the other hand I don't like that the government tears it down just like that. On the other hand, don't you think initially someone from the government must have approved this park and got some money in his pocket? I don't know... I'm just rambling.

Like last year when many Chinese people were particularly angry about the German media. Unfortunately it’s the source of a lot of misunderstandings.

Some established media are a must, because they are still the originators of most news. Investigative journalism is mostly the job of established media, too. But as the quality of mass media is declining, we-the-users need to become more media-savvy at the same time... I think we need to build our own mix of information sources.

What would the average reader, who doesn't speak a single word of Chinese, think if he encounters the Sentence: "zhege gongsi just opend a new theme park" They would be like WTF. It's a common theme in the modern media to say "Somecountry just did this and that" while in reality it is a totally private operation. But it is indeed one of the reasons why I rarely read the established media. They always put the things in the wrong way. I'm indeed disappointed with the mass media. Alimony? Me? No way! Not angry, but think about it.

Maybe I read the BBC article too fast and thought China is meant to be the government. I appologize for that. Are you angry, Junjie?
