To those of you who haven't been living here for the past couple of years, it's hard to describe how [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=china.blogs.time.com&blog=5668227&post=758&subd=timechinablog&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

First, in women's gymnastics (or should that be, in China's case, children's  gymnastics…?) the United States won Gold (Nastia Liukin) and Silver (Shawn Johnson) in the all around, making up for their humiliating loss in the team [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=china.blogs.time.com&blog=5668227&post=750&subd=timechinablog&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is my first Olympics as either a journalist or a sports fan, and I'm sure in any Games there always a bit of disconnect between Olympics World and the Real World. But I'm thinking this disconnect is a bit more pronounced here, in Beijng in 208. Can you imagine what the press coverage in [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=china.blogs.time.com&blog=5668227&post=746&subd=timechinablog&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the more interesting memes to emerge from the press conference after tonight' s USA-China basketball game was this: two questioners, one Chinese and one guy who sounded European, asked US coach Mike Krzyzewski whether his team wasn't rubbing it in a little by dunking so often and with so much flair. Even as [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=china.blogs.time.com&blog=5668227&post=735&subd=timechinablog&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was going to call it the dirty little secret of China's Olympics, but it's not so little and it's not much of a secret.  China is and has been a huge source of product for blood-doping, steroid-shooting athletes across the sporting spectrum.  Now, ARD, the German television network, has done a terrific [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=china.blogs.time.com&blog=5668227&post=706&subd=timechinablog&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

I began using this headline for these postings months ago with tongue firmly planted in cheek. Now comes today's Wall Street Journal with this hilarious piece about Olympic athletes who are LITERALLY planning to wear gas masks in Beijing.

His latest monthly missive states flatly that the inflation scare in China is over, and that he's now worried about a significant slow down in growth. He's marked down his 2008 growth forecast from 10.8 [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=china.blogs.time.com&blog=5668227&post=698&subd=timechinablog&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
