Q: Do you use Weibo as a source of finding trending Chinese news stories?

All the major scandals seem to break on Weibo so how many of you are clued in and actually get the juicy stories right from the source?

i use news sources from different countries to get different perspectives on things. Other than China Daily (like any other national news source, it is biased) i don't read other online Chinese newspapers. I take everything i read online with a pinch of salt. But I will watch to see if anyone can suggest how to use Weibo.

I do, but my wife usually hears about it first, and tells me all about it. Then I look at weibo later and tell her all about it, and she complains that I never listen to her.

Q: What are the dont's when you are in china?

A: Chinese are generally pretty tolerant friendly and accepting whatever

A:Chinese are generally pretty tolerant friendly and accepting whatever foreigners do. I spent 15 years in China but I wouldn't say there are that many don'ts....Don't assume that many people speak English though and learn some Chinese. Don't speak much about politics unless you want to praise Chinese system. -- Natalie363
