All this proposal says to me is "The ONLY foreigners we want are wealthy businessmen, embassy folk and investors and we will go out of our way to make things difficult for any foreigner who wants to turn a profit inside of China". This includes foreign teachers and entertainers from abroad. The only people who actually like foreigners in this country are the women!
Putting aside the locals interest in possibly diversifying their musical/cultural interests, there are over 300,000 expats in Beijing alone. With all of the hard work they do for this city and the amount of revenue that is generated from their industrious efforts wouldnt it be a nice gesture to encourage western style entertainment so that these people away from home have something to enjoy in their free time? Why make it all so difficult....
why do some singers have to be such whiny bellends? could they not leave sad, 'radical' statements to politicians and teenagers and just get on with doing the thing that people have actually paid to see them do?
unbelievable Christmas indeed :/ i know Chinese people are strict when it comes to rules....did they really made you pay for just having a party? and do they really need to break the plates and what so ever?
For me, air pollution is not as bad as smoking because the polluted air that is present in the air doesnt go directly to our lungs or respiratory system unlike smoking it hits directly to out lungs which kills it little by little.
Please note that the following Birds film event previously linked to in the blog above has been cancelled due to the Spring Festival holiday.

Re: Same Old Story: Modo Floored by Landlord ... Who's Next?

Re: Same Old Story: Modo Floored by Landlord ... Who's Next?
Yes its a anti-foreign conspiracy. Any boxers out there?? Especially as Swire is a traditional chinese company.
Re: Same Old Story: Modo Floored by Landlord ... Who's Next?
It's more likely designed as a measure to drive out the most successful (foreign) venues in The Village
Re: Same Old Story: Modo Floored by Landlord ... Who's Next?
Why was this policy even in the contracts, and second what is the reason management has decided to enforce it??
Let me guess $$$$$$$$ ??
