Daily commentary about China by TIME correspondents.

"China's Andy Rooney" from The Onion

This spoof from the satirical site The Onion (www.theonion.com) requires some knowledge of American television, which used t feature (or maybe he's still on; I haven't seen the show in years) the avuncular Andy Rooney doing an 'aw shucks, ain't life strange' set at the close of episodes of the legendary newsmagazine show 60 Minutes (where you can see the first interview with the Obamas post-election). It's pretty crude, but I guess you have to give them credit for at least going to the trouble of getting it done in Chinese.

    Mr. Elegant,
    This is a pretty funny satirical bit. Although this somewhat distresses me. One could make some derivative character and place him in Fox News where he provides some similarly perverse support for President Bush and torture and Guantanamo Bay, etc.
