“Representation by unelected delegates is rape.”<\/p><\/div>\n

National People’s Congress:<\/strong>
\n– sand c**t + Beijing (\u6c99\u903c+\u5317\u4eac): Beijing was battered by a sandstorm last week<\/a>, earning a nickname that plays on the curse “stupid c**t” (\u50bb\u903c sh\u01ce b\u012b): “sand c**t” (\u6c99\u903c sh\u0101 b\u012b).
\n– Two Sessions + shock (\u4e24\u4f1a+\u96f7\u4eba): “Shocking” images from the National People’s Congress are making the rounds online. See these photo galleries (1<\/a>, 2<\/a>) from CDT Chinese [zh]. (Together with the People’s Consultative Congress, these annual gatherings are known as the “Two Sessions.”)
\n– Five Do-Nots (\u4e94\u4e0d\u641e): Do not make a system in which multiple parties govern in turn; do not diversify guiding ideologies; do not “separate the three powers” and create a bicameral system; do not federalize; do not privatize.
\n– Three Above-Alls (\u4e09\u4e2a\u81f3\u4e0a): Service to the Party above all; the interests of the people above all; constitution and laws above all.
\n– movie star + take a curtain call (\u5f71\u5e1d+\u8c22\u5e55): After delivering his “government work report” yesterday, outgoing prime minister Wen Jiabao bowed three times and took a “curtain call” in response to applause. Exiled writer Yu Jie<\/a> described Wen as a movie star<\/a> in his 2010 book China’s Best Actor: Wen Jiabao<\/em>.
\n– three bows (\u4e09\u97a0\u8eac)
\n– movie star + wen (\u5f71\u5e1d+wen)
\n– Wen Jiabao + housing prices (\u6e29\u5bb6\u5b9d+\u623f\u4ef7): People are grumbling about the 20% tax recently added to the sale of previously owned homes. A number of netizens attribute the ever-rising price of housing to the failure Wen’s policies over the past decade.<\/p>\n

Other:<\/strong>
\n– defend freedom of the press (\u634d\u536b\u65b0\u95fb\u81ea\u7531)
\n– suppression of public opinion (\u8206\u8bba\u94b3\u5236)<\/p>\n
