    One would think you were more qualified to critique how said monies are dispersed in your homeland of China. You guys have freedom of speech there...right?

    Interesting ... we've had a frodoz737 here for fifteen years and a month, and tochatihu for even longer (me, somewhere in between) but I don't remember there always being this need on the one's part to always make gibes about the other being employed in China. I'm not sure I can place how long ago that bit started.

    Here in the US, I live near a busy place where research happens. A lot of people of a lot of other nationalities come here and do research. I'm not sure that makes the US their 'homeland' necessarily, or gives them expert opinions on US politics necessarily, or makes them somehow responsible for US politics, or means they can't stay informed or have opinions about the places they are from.

    I'm not sure why that would be any different for a Westerner doing research at a Chinese place where research happens.
