At Danwei we were dithering about offering our readers a Christmas greeting since we are a traditional work unit and usually celebrate the birth of the Great Helmsman Mao Zedong who was born on December 26, 114 years ago today.
But then we received this photo, evidence of a plot by a sinister cabal of operatives to bring to Beijing the American tradition of Jews eating at Chinese restaurants on Christmas Day.
We feel that this is a suitably mixed up way to wish our readers, friends, advertisers — and that troll who hates us — all the best for 2007, and belated good wishes for Christmas (December 25), Yule (December 21), Eid al-Adha (December 20), Hannukah (December 4 – 12) and Diwali (November 9) etc.
Thanks to ‘A Jew in Zhongguo’ for the photo.
