Fast Food Is Becoming More Expensive in China

McDonald and KFC can do that.
They are still crowded in China.

In supermarkets, it is hard to find anything,
which has a price rise below the released inflation rate.

Now I worry about the true inflation may accelerate after the Olympic Games.

Tibetan Unrest and Economic Implications: 'Nancy Pelosi's War'

I think most Chinese in rich provinces agree the independence of Tibet, but dare not to speak out. The central government takes money from provinces along side the sea, and injects money into poor Tibet simultaneously. But Tibetans will never say 'thank you'.

Tibetans can get extra 8 points in China university entry exams (like SAT in US), but a gap of one or two points have been ruining many Han Chinese. Suicides for exam failure are not news (though rarely reported).

Economically, Tibet is a burden.
If they want independence, get out and get away.
