Daily commentary about China by TIME correspondents.

A Torch Relay Site the Chinese Can Love...

All the Chinese nationalists out there must just be pining for the day, absolutely aching with anticipation. Don't worry. It's coming soon. April 28, in fact. Yes, that is the day when the Holy Olympic Torch will arrive in….North Korea. No worries about protests there! China's good friend Kim Jong Il and his vicious state security apparatus will make certain of that. There , the Holy Torch of China's games will be greeted with all the reverence it deserves.
Halleluiah! Praise Kim Il Sung and pass the ammunition! China and North Korea, once again as close as lips and teeth!
