Seek Truth From Facts

Deng Xiaoping urged China to do just that.

The China Daily, the country's premier state-owned English-language newspaper, had a similar suggestion today. Although perhaps with a slightly updated approach. It is one that Deng appeared to espouse in an early youthful incarnation working in the media but which seemed to bother him less in later years. Is the newspaper hinting that his successors may not remember his maxim?

The China Daily website is a disgrace - it does the reputation of us state media hacks no good at all...that story was an excerpt from another paper, which appears at the bottom of the opinion page. It would never be illustrated in the print edition, so it baffles me why the idiots at the website take it upon themselves to do that sort of thing.

Interestingly, if you're looking for China Daily news, I'd try the People's Daily website. Yesterday I searched for the 6 Page Two stories I edited, and only 3 were put on the website. Of these, two were only accessible via Google News..... It's a mess.
