Wang Daiyu has created several very cool desktop wallpapers that feature a map of China and the famous hadith of the Prophet, “seek knowledge, even as far as China”. I love how “Peace be upon him” looks in Chinese.
Incidentally, he also has compiled some defenses of that hadith from its detractors.
June 4th will someday be as meaningful as July 4th, as far as the symbolism of human freedom goes.
The Chinese authorities are telling tour operators in the country to stop selling holidays to France.

China is shipping arms to Robert Mugabe’s regime.
Hollywood leftists and French Presidents remain silent.
