And in China, barking is notably coarse.
It's actually quite common in China, or so Chinese people tell me.
How many Chinese people do you know? Most are quite polite and yelling (especially by a westerner and not in Mandarin or Cantonese) is seen as a "common" trait. We aren't talking about Fred Sanford here.
Lots? And yes, they made it clear that yelling wasn't admirable behavior, though it could still be quite common.
I'm having deja vu. Have we had this conversation before?
I dont think we have. In any case, is it appropriate behavior for the first ladies mother? What message do you think it sends to China?
I think this story is Snopes fodder any day now.
Michelle Obama is not in China on "vacation." It's a diplomatic tour.
In China, Michelle Obama calls for universal rights
She is there for a week so its clear there is vacation time in it. If she really just did a diplomacy trip she should have left as soon as she made her speeches.
Government security forces from both China and the U.S. started Thursday to screen everyone who entered the building, including paying guests, setting up checkpoints that resemble those at airline concourse entrances.

So anyone who falls off a Segway has no class?
Oh give me a break. Additional security is in place to assist with the safety and well being of President Obama and his family. As it should be. No one should have an issue with this.
No doubt in an effort to slap her Chinese hosts a little.... Michelle and her entourage visited a Tibetan restaurant yesterday "to send a message to the US public that she still remembers the Tibetan people."
She had lunch consisting of yak butter tea, yak soup, yak pies and boiled yak ribs, plus tsampa, a tasteless dough made from roasted barley flour and yak butter.
With these two clowns over there ticking off Russia and China, what could possibly go wrong?
Yak pies anyone?
Pity she didnt eat yak chips, that would have really made the news.No doubt in an effort to slap her Chinese hosts a little.... Michelle and her entourage visited a Tibetan restaurant yesterday "to send a message to the US public that she still remembers the Tibetan people."
