Hermit: Panic and Despair in Russia

Hermit the angry Taoist Dragonfly exposes Russian gangster logic

Hello Children,

the Russian government is denying its citizens access to products with good quality at low prices. It is using gangster logic against our smugglers merchants and has thrown Cherkizovsky Market into panic and despair.

Those mindless imperialists who haven’t learned from history claim that the Cherkizovsky Market is a so-called gray custom-clearance market, but in fact, they are only safeguarding their so-called interests!

That’s gangster logic. Let’s take a tough and correct stance, rally around our merchants, and show the Russians that we are all Chinese!

Stay patriotic, children. Got to fly now.

Memorable Quotations from Qin Gang

“As for what you can and cannot watch, watch what you can watch, and don’t watch what you cannot watch.”

Quoted by Underthejacaranda, quoting China Digital Times (apparently suspended), quoting Qin Gang, China’s foreign ministry spokesman.

And if you ever accused Qin Gang of an undifferentiated view of Tibet‘s and Xinjiang‘s leaders in exile, you might consider eating your words now – here is a memorably differentiated quote of July 17, 2009:

“One is female, while the other is male.”

This said, this is only a quote which can be attributed to Mr Qin, as far as JR can see. The source virtualreview quotes from and links to (China Daily) is either currently removed not available, or it never existed. Try the link there from virtualreview.

China Digital Times Suspended?

This wouldn’t surprise me if this was a .cn domain:

China Digital Times URL

But it’s the China Digital Times. Check here if it is online again.
