Can fenqing or angry youths think for themselves?

No. This is how some people in the Western media would answer this question.

As recommended by my CIMA study materials, I started to read the Financial Times for current financial knowledge and today I came across a report titled China’s angry youth vent their feelings.

The most interesting thing I found about this report is that, Jamil Anderlini, the writer tries very hard to understand why fenqings should think and behave so in all the fuss associated with the Olympic torch relay, but arrives at an ill-informed conclusion.

What will be on next year?

The year of 2008, a much anticipated, shiny year, is just less than one month away though I still cannot count the remaining days on my fingers and toes. Soon, it will be the routine New Year resolution poking its head out of its hole.

For the Chinese who are interested in those big-picture things, at least two things are what they’ve been holding their breath for. One is the Olympics games and the other is the political spin-off of Taiwan’s elections.

People like me have been expecting much from and doing much for the big event.
