What's wrong with American beef? I don't think Taiwan shouldn't be too worried about diseases or anything like that. I've eaten American beef all my life.

I have also and I'm 58 years old... I did not grow an extra head or anything weird. Protesting is one of the national pastimes in the ROC.

Today is International Womens Day..never heard of that until about an hour ago..so...

China is huge, size of western Europe combined and still a bit bigger. You wouldn't expect a typical Mediterranean Spanish/Italian to look the same as a full fledged blonde Viking, why would you all Chinese to look the same?

Chinese from different regions of china have distinct traits. Northern Chinese have smaller eyes and pointier nose, usually bigger build and taller, whiter skin. Southern Chinese, especially those in the deep south, are genetically closer to the Southeast Asians. They are shorter and skinnier, bigger eyes, and especially deeper eye socket.

In fact, I have seen a report somewhere, don't remember where, it was a ranking of average height of young adult male in different regions of China. The tallest provinces are all in the North, equaling the average heights of rich European nations (around 178cm, aka 5'10 if you still aren't willing to change), even surpassing some of them, yet the shortest (surprisingly the richest and best nourished) provinces averaged only around 5'5.

Sorry but I suspect your facts and stats are a bit way out of line. For example, the people in Guangzhou or Hong Kong don't have deeper eye sockets and the men there probably have an average height of 5ft 8 in (or more for the younger gen?) but definitely not 5'5'' !. South East Asian Ethnic Chinese men of the younger gen probably average 5ft 10 in.

No flaming concerning these photos of Tibetan exiles and their protest.

An exile Tibetan holds a Tibetan flag and participates in a march to mark the unsuccessful revolt against China in 1959, in New Delhi, India, Saturday, March 10, 2012. The head of Tibet's government -in-exile blamed China on Saturday for a recent wave of self-immolations by Tibetans, saying that they have been denied the right to hold conventional protests.

Lobsang Sangay, the prime minister of the Tibetan government in exile, left, and Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama observe silence in honor of those who have lost their lives in Tibet, at a function to mark the anniversary of an unsuccessful revolt against China in 1959, in Dharmsala, India, Saturday, March 10, 2012.

Police stop Tibetans planning to organize a rally after attending a function to mark the Tibetan Uprising Day in Kathmandu March 10, 2012. The Tibetans took part in a prayer function and protested against Chinese policy in Tibet. With a growing Chinese influence over Nepal, the Nepalese government stands strong against Tibetan exiles whose protests in support of their homeland have increased in recent years. Nepal ceased issuing refugee papers to Tibetans in 1989 and recognises Tibet to be a part of China.

Activists holding a picture of the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan flags take part in a rally to support Tibet in Taipei March 10, 2012. Hundreds of Tibetans and their supporters in Taiwan marched the streets to commemorate the uprising in Lhasa 53 years ago against Chinese rule.
