ChinaWire goes NEGATIVE about China almost everyday. Ok, we get it. They’re catchy and funny, and they play right into what many Expats like to read: Chinese doing dumb things. What readers of ChinaWire maybe dunno is..
ChinaWire is run by Chinese. So next time you’re giggling at dumb Chinese, remember you got baited into laughing at Chinese people by the Chinese owner of ChinaWire.
Who is the real dummy here?
