Re: Chinese Daily Photos, Videos & News of 2012!!!
Didn't mean to imply that at all. It's just that I saw that episode last night and it stuck with me, and I thought I'd share it.
I would say that the photos you post are very representative of what the media thinks China is like, including large parts of the Chinese media. It fools us into believing that China is this "almost" first-world country. Then once in a while, some powerful image, quite possibly unintended, knocks some reality back into our illusions.
Solarz.. The photos is what is available at yahoo.com. So that's what I post.they have excellent photos these days..IMO. the photos are very large 1400x1000. I cannot find that size photo on a English language Chinese site. many times at the English language Chinese sites they post very average photos of exhibitions, the weather, road openings, and politicians shaking hands. Their cultural photos are very interesting. I fell I post a good variety of photos. Look at the entire thread. I'm sure you shall find a good variety.
Does anyone else have the same view as solarz? Too much glitz??? let me know. Don't worry I don't bite.. I may hit you with a light sabre!
