		<description><![CDATA[On Valentine&#8217;s Day the washed-up American boxer Floyd Mayweather logged into twitter to announce: &#8220;Jeremy Lin is a good player but all the hype is because he&#8217;s Asian. Black players do what he does every night and don&#8217;t get the same praise.&#8221; To put it lightly, the tweet was not received well by US commentators, [...]]]></description>

But, in microblogging terms, it feels to me like there&#8217;s still a bit of a holiday hangover.

There weren&#8217;t many there, but the encounter stuck in my mind. How on Earth did those lights move to China? And why? Like many writers, I keep a mental file of questions [...]]]></description>

In it, I take a look at some of the Chinese reactions to Zhang Yimou&#8217;s new epic set against the 1937 Nanjing Massacre &#8211; and the sexed-up marketing designed to sell it. Consider, as just one example, one [...]]]></description>
