You mean his qualification as a doctor.

They were only for the tourists. That'll soon change if not already so. I'll bet there are some in places like Shanghai for example.... Jing An District People's Square (Ren Min Guang Chang), a large park, affords a peaceful oasis in the middle of hectic downtown. Also a cultural stopover, it is the site of the impressively designed Shanghai Museum and the Shanghai Grand Theater. Underground, beneath the park, lies a shopping mall that proves popular with the young and trendy. For those who crave more gaudy fun, check the Great World Entertainment Center with karaoke, Beijing Opera, acrobatics and more. Nan Jing Road stretches east to west through Shanghai's commercial section. On the western side stands the massive Shanghai Center, a multi-complex that houses the Portman Ritz-Carlton Hotel, commercial businesses, consulates and a shopping mall. On the eastern side, a stretch of Nan Jing Road has been converted into a pedestrian-only area. This section has held the commercial center since the 1930s, as you might tell from the commercial signs that have sprouted almost organically since then. Once Shanghai's major shopping street, Nan Jing's glory faded somewhat with the advent of Huai Hai Road, but it still proves worth visiting--especially at night in its full, neon-lit glory. http://www3.oag.com/Cities/CityHome?cat=0&city=79 > > >I wonder if BAH and unsettled still think the Chinese all go round still in > >Mao style suits ? > > Only the old ones dressed that way when I was there.

Do explain what you mean. BAH explained it. You snipped the context and came back with this "Eeyore is stupid, please explain it again" thing you do all the time. The problem, simply stated, is that the way questions were asked in the poll prevented the people's actual feelings from being heard. I provided this book for you to read earlier in this thread. You need to educate yourself in such matters because based on your responses it is apparent you're not qualified to engage in the conversations you're embroiled in: _The Illusion of Public Opinion: Fact and Artifact in American Public Opinion Polls_ by George F. Bishop It is available at amazon.com for as little as $15.35.

Since I do that just fine right now I don't need your help then do I ? Graham
