Official explanation for 'hide-and-seek' death reversed
Posted byIt is not surprising that access to the video and Li's cellmates was not permitted -- that's China. It is easier to demote or fire a prison officer because there are thousands of applicants to fill the positions. Anyway, we know that demoted government officials are re-instated after approximately six months.
Our main concern, now, should be to ensure that adequate compensation be paid to the family.

Family of 'eluding the cat' victim seeking government compensation
Posted byI have no confidence about a just conclusion to this matter, and I'm not sure if Harvey Chen is being cynical or humorous but I do hope that Chris continues to follow this story (and I'm sure that he will) because it smells of strong fish. Oops, we've lost the video ... and the copy. Mmm, sorry for my cynicism.

CNAC: The godfather of aviation in Yunnan
Posted byHi, I am Diego Kusak. I needed to make a clarification.
We usually say "...AVG...disbanded in July of 1942, the majority of its pilots joined CNAC rather than return to the US military", but that is not an acurate statement.
The truth is that the majoirty of the pilots that stayed in China went to CNAC, but not the majority of all the pilots. Most returned to the US to positions in the military or civilian life that they had prior joining the AVG (for example as test pilots for the new airplanes being designed at the time).
The list I give here is not 100% acurate yet, but it gives an idea on how AVG ended.
Out 318 men and women that made the AVG in China:
95 were pilots.
Out of less than 95 original AVG pilots,10 were KIA and 7 died in other circumstances.
22 of the pilots were discharged for various reasons before the AVG was disbanded.
Out of the 56 pilkots left, 31 returned to their posts in the US or jobs they had prior to joining the AVG.
20 went to CNAC
5 stayed with the US military in China.
These are rough statistics. For example, one the of the pilots was POW in 1942 and scaped in 1945. Then he joined CNAC. So it is hard to make bold statements about this unique group of fighters.
A more acurate statement would be that "the majority of pilots that stayed in China did so in CNAC and not in the military."
Yunnan unveils newest plan to clean Dianchi Lake
Posted byAs one who left China fifty-two years ago, I yearn to see and live China again. Though I have made many trips in recent years, I have seen too little of this vast and diverse country, my home country.
I do urge the power that be to safeguard your tourism resources. They can never become obsolete, and learn from elsewhere, don't let the motor car rule your life.
