The causes of the China Incident were the exclusion and insult of Japan throughout China, the exclusion of Japanese goods, the persecution of Japanese residents in China, and the illegal violation of Japanese rights.

When our thousands of Chinese students abroad return home, you will see how China will transform itself.

I like to have Chinese furniture in my home as a constant and painful reminder of how much has been destroyed in China. The contrast between the beauty of the past and the ugliness of the modern is nowhere sharper than in China.

The Chinese Way

Take a journey back in time
Leave the western world behind
Cross the mountains to peking
Where the paper laterns gently swing
The chinese way
Who knows what they know
The chinese legend grows
My eyes wide open
I feel a breeze
Words softly spoken
In cantonese
Standing at the masters side
The with patience he confides
Secret knowledge - sacred ways
Paerls of wisdom from the dragon days
I could never lie
For honour I would lie
Following the chinese way
So many years ago heros ruled the world
(some died for love in a cruel world)

I thought about how mothers feed their babies with tiny little spoons and forks so I wondered, what do Chinese mothers use? Toothpicks?

No more turning a blind eye to Chinese spies in our nuclear labs. No more keeping silent about Chinese slave labor camps.

Although China and United States are competitors, China and the United States are indeed partners in trade.

There are now hundreds of thousands of new engineers that are being trained in China. If people start finding themselves losing their jobs, not to the Chinese here but because China has become such a dominant force - then there could very well be a backlash.

If we expose the Chinese to our freedoms, it may create a greater hunger for democracy, reform and liberties in China.

I was posted to China in the summer of 1988, which was the greatest time ever, I think, to have been in China.

Gioconda And Si-Ya-U

to the memory of my friend SI-YA-U,
whose head was cut off in Shanghai

A CLAIM

Renowned Leonardo's
world-famous
"La Gioconda"
has disappeared.
And in the space
vacated by the fugitive
a copy has been placed.

The poet inscribing
the present treatise
knows more than a little
about the fate
of the real Gioconda.
She fell in love
with a seductive

Lost in translation

At My favorite Chinese restaurant
The other day, I somehow got to thinking
about ethnicity

I wondered if there were Chinese Jews
So I asked my waiter
Explicitly:

“Do you have Chinese Jews? ”
I innocently asked
my Chinese waiter

“I don’t think so, I really don’t know,
But I’ll ask the manager and
Let you know later”

He returned in a while
And said with a smile
“no…No have Chinese Jews.”

The Year Of The Tiger

China has just said goodbye
to the year of the Ox - 2009.
China has always been kind
to the animals waiting in line.
A different one every year!
2010 is the turn of the Tiger
when the Pied Piper will play
a tune to honour each Tiger
beneath the moon, in China.

Please understand the reason why Chinese vegetables taste so good. It is simple. The Chinese do not cook them, they just threaten them!

At Night Chinamen Jump

At night Chinamen jump
on Asia with a thump
while in our willful way
we, in secret, play

affectionate games and bruise
our knees like China's shoes.

The birds push apples through
grass the moon turns blue,

these apples roll beneath
our buttocks like a heath

full of Chinese thrushes
flushed from China's bushes.

As we love at night
birds sing out of sight,

When I was very little, we would get letters from China, in Chinese, and they' be censored. We were a very insular little family.
