A Hint of Paradox.

In keeping with my current fixation on all things Chinese, I just watched a video about Shanghai on YouTube. Included among the comments was one from Kelvin Wang (note: Kelvin Wang) who is presumably a native of the city. It said:

‘All f..king foreigners go back home china is not for u f..king foreigner dogs shanghai for shanghaines china for Chinese kill the foreigners !’

So, here is a man who not only wants foreigners removed from China, but even advocates the killing of them. And yet he has a European given name, writes English – punctuation excepted – rather better than I write Mandarin, and has sufficient sense of reserve that he abbreviates the expletive.

Isn’t that interesting?
