| Post subject: haha chinabounder back |
http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2008/jul/17/blogging.internet1
Two years after he provoked a firestorm of internet outrage in China, an anonymous British blogger, who wrote about his sexual exploits with the country's women, has decided to reveal his identity to the Guardian as he publishes a provocative new book.
David Marriott, who claims to be a graduate of Cambridge University, sparked an online campaign to out him after he set up a blog where, using the name ChinaBounder, he posted entries with graphic descriptions of his attempts to charm the women of Shanghai into bed.
The campaign drew thousands of people to ChinaBounder's blog but despite endless speculation in the media and online, Marriot's cover was never completely blown.
Now he has decided to emerge in an effort to promote a new book, Fault Lines on the Face of China: 50 Reasons Why China May Never Be Great.
The book itself will further add to Chinese ire as it rubbishes their country's attempts to tout itself as a global force.
Speaking exclusively to the Guardian from an undisclosed "third country" in south-east Asia, Marriott confirmed for the first time that his alter ego was ChinaBounder.
"Modern China has displayed a history of over-reacting to any form of criticism, not just against the country or the Communist party per se," he said.
"Chinese leaders have fashioned a response based on what they perceive the people of China to be, and a few elitists now often decide what offends people of the motherland."
Looking back on the furore that his online accounts of sexual adventure in Shanghai had sparked among conservative Chinese, he said: "Chinese men were deeply offended by the blog, and I do understand why. In history, Chinese men have suffered greatly at the hands of foreign armies and now, philosophically, they feel they are being attacked in the bedroom. They see this as the battle for the very women they fought wars to protect."
Zhang Jiehai, a professor of psychology at the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, who led the campaign, has urged Chinese readers not to buy it.
"ChinaBounder said he had fifty reasons to assume China will not be great," said Zhang in an online statement. "In contrary, I have at least one reason to say Britain can be great. The reason is Cambridge University can train citizens like Mr China Bounder who love to show off the great thing inside his pants. Of course, by saying he is from Cambridge University is another piece of performance art. But one thing I believe in is that there is a chance for China to become great again, a far greater chance than for Britain."
More than 17,000 people visited Marriott's blog in the wake of professor Zhang's campaign two years ago, but the book and its reaction have so far generated far less traffic.
Marriott, who visited Japan to secure his book deal before moving on to a secret location, said the confusion surrounding his identity at the height of the campaign to denounce him "gave me excellent cover".
He insisted his decision to leave China was connected to his book deal and "differences between me the Shanghai police - a story best left to a later time". The self-confessed Casanova said he had written his sexlog as a "mental purge and colonic for my sexual adventures" and in an attempt to secure his "fifteen minutes of fame".
"Although it seemed cowardly at the time, not revealing who I was, those Chinese men who wished to protect women did not realise that the women I wrote about would have been torn to pieces by those very same Chinese men if their names had been revealed at that time along with mine," he said. |

50 Reasons Why China May Never Be Great by chinabounder? you gotta be **** kidding me! i mean, come on - is this guy serious? i would probably buy his "50 ways to get laid in China" rather than this one. if i want to know 50 Reasons Why China May Never Be Great, wouldn't i get a book done by prominent economist?
so liupei, question for you, why would you trust a d1ckhead for his political and economic views (in buying his book) when he is only famous for his d1ck? |

^Yipes. How embarrassing. Why didn't he just ignore it?
And how is China Bounder's blog anything different than that Tucker Max blog/book/not to be movie, "I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell".

^ lucar dude, that is a good point.
look at Tucker's manifesto? "My name is Tucker Max, and I am an a**hole."
apparently, chinabounder thinks he is NOT an a**hole but a great educator instead.........WTF?....now that is quite a d1ck. |

"i would probably buy his "50 ways to get laid in China" rather than this one."
You just need one tip, and you can ask our buddy Michael Jackson.
Tucker Max writes very well, although some of his stories are pure exaggeration and juvenile hallucinations.
"if i want to know 50 Reasons Why China May Never Be Great, wouldn't i get a book done by prominent economist?"
But that's the whole thing of your confucianist mentality Georgie: how can Chinabounder be bad if he is from Cambridge! Not possible is it?? It's a great university, the guy cannot be bad! |

What the hell are you talking about? Did I say that or it's in your imagination? I don't think you are making a good argument here.

mat, is it really that funny? yes, my typo. it's stake. and do you want me to show you the typos by the americans (born and raised here) i am working with?
give you a couple of example, quite a few americans don't differentiate
1. effect vs. affect
2. flush out vs. flesh out
do you want to take them out of the U.S.? or calling them chinese? geez....

Well, quite clearly the prof is a bit of a nutcase. As for the women - this is what I think - I think they reach an age where they need to find a good boyfriend who can become an obedient husband with a good job and maybe a house. Ie, not a laowai in Shanghai, but a Chinese boy.
This means finding one of these hard to come by gems (ask local young women how difficult it is to find a good boyfriend in Shanghai) the girl needs to be single, attractive and available before she's 30, possibly before she's 28. Find a guy at 28, one year courtship, then marriage before 30 to avoid any gossip, drop a kid, no more sex for the husband, he visits whack shacks until he becomes a grandfather.
With this in mind that means that many young women between the age of 18 to 26 are curious about shagging if not one then as many laowai men as they can before they settle down. I would say that very very few Chinese women want to marry a honkie. Most want a local guy, but can't resist their curious urges.
Basically they get the ride of their life from Chuck from Iowa, are grateful, then get married to Chen from Zhabei and have a baby. |

Now you'll probably be the reason why George W. Shen aka Georgie Pao Pao starts posting more drivel. Watching Georgie Pao Pao write is like watching a pig tell time -- entertaining for a moment but then you start feeling sorry for the pig. |

That was fkng crystalline, powerful, raw, razorblade poetry.
You just summarized the lives of 100 million people in a sentence.
That's why i love this site. Sometimes you come across gems like this, and some of the turds underho throws at people too are cool.
And that makes all the other crap bearable.
I had a tandoori laffa wrap for lunch. I will get it ejected now.

undie, quite funny you mention that.
what i observed -
The people who are better educated than me rarely laugh at my English while the people who are less educated than me like to pick on my English typos and errors. Not surprisingly, many Chinese whose English is no better than mine also love to pick on my grammar errors.
English is my second language. But is it safe to say my second language is probably better than your second language, huh? undie & mat? If we were debating in Chinese, I am sure I would have picked on many of your typos, errors in Chinese.
so undie and mat, my bet is both of you are less educated than me. because nothing you have is better to brag about. Yup, using your first language to compare to my 2nd lanuage will let you feel better. morons.
