Chinese For The Chinese? NO WAY!

I am now enjoying watching the Olympic Game from my lovely big screen TV at home. I have been sicked for days, nearly a week. I was supposed joining Connie this Saturday afternoon, doing some shopping with her together, but I decided staying at home.

I love watching the Olympic Game show for time killing. Seeing people jumping and running around is kind of fun. I remembered the last time I really spent time on it was the year 2000. I was still studying in the Rochester. That time I had my 24" CRT TV with VCR built-in right next to my Green and White Apple PowerMac G3 computer. I did my printing research work (along with playing the Diablo II by Blizzard Entertainment) on one side, and watching the game just by turning my head 90 degree to the right. I did have my good old times.

This afternoon, I watched the female basketball game. It was China VS Spain. I didn't pay much attention to it until I recognized one funny thing. The Chinese team's wearings are being sponsored by the Nike (US Company), and the Spanish team's wearing are being sponsored by the Li Ling (China Company, Li Ling was an athletic during the 1980's. He rocked the Olympic when he was first shown up in the 1984.) Li Ling retired after the game in 1992. Afterwards, he opened his own bland in the sport business, which is being considered to be a one of the top Chinese bland within the whole China. Of course, it would never make its way to the US, UK, nor the HK (As if the old Chinese slang, "I look dead at it").

China headed towards the American bland. I guess . . . its because they have been approached with tons of money being involved. Moreover, they want to state that China isn't anything within the second and the third world levels by applying the first world bland. So, who's gonna use the Chinese products (third world products)? There will be markets - the second and the third world, let them be! Chinese will NOT use any bland from the second and the third world countries. We (the Chinese) have our own pride!
