LOL. did you check the Vice youtube clip then realize there is a Dwarf Empire ？

i think he started to notice a conspicuous absence of dwarves amidst the general population and put 2+2 together.

Confirmed. Dwàrfs much happier and not locked up. If you're against the existence of the Dwarf Empire, then you sentence them to their prior lives of begging, thievery, or singing on a bar top dodging bottles.

@Alex: this doesn't amount to confirmation, and the author made at least one error (although it's irrelevant for the subject of the article) when he said public toilets in Kunming don't deal with shit. Longer-term solution to being sentenced to what you say will be cultural change in attitudes, which will take awhile, I'm afraid, and I question how much the existence of dwarf empires will contribute to it.

@Alien. Maybe Mr. Jones tried to take a dump in wenlinjie. So, since you're attacking article, then XiaoXiao must not exist or maybe she lied about having to dance on a bar top and dodge grabby hands and bottles before she found work in the Dwarf Empire.

it is all about cultural acceptance, they will have a laowai city, brown town and gay paris next year

@Alex: I doubt if she lied, which is why I say that cultural change in attitudes is a good idea, and now, with so much work that could be carried out by persons regardless of size, is likely to continue, albeit too slowly for a lot of people, including little people.
Anyway, I'm not going to go gawk at them, which is not the cultural change I want to contribute to.
Wenlinjie public toilets accept dumps.
@Dazzer: yeah, haha - I'm not in favour of those developments either.

@Alien. Then why did you conveniently start your previous comment about the reporter making what you consider an error. Seems a lot like the tactiç of attacking the messenger.

@Alex: Just pointing out that the guy was no expert on local conditions generally - but as I admitted, that doesn't necessarily imply that his judgement of Dwarf Empire is wrong.

@Alien. His interview of the employees and spending three days should not be dismissed lightly. His actual judgement is like yours. He doesn't really want it to exist.
