Boy, how out-there politically do you have to be to think that China is "kinda free"?

China is kinda free - except for the fact that they kill your children if you have more than one girl, execute political prisoners, block chunks of the internet from the rest of the world, have little to no religious freedom, etc etc.

Heh, c'mon guys. Going off every other stupid thing he's posted, did the "kinda free" comment really surprise you. Some folks are just plain naive. Either that or they would just prefer to bury their heads in the sand.

If by "kinda free" you mean that the CCP still has a total monopoly in the political sector, opposition parties are outlawed, a judicial court system that stands by the principle of "guilty until proven innocent," corruption of the socialist economic system w/capitalist characteristics, government intimidation to keep the Chinese media in line, all churches must be state approved, and using the so-called "People's Army" when the civilians get out of line, then you are correct.

Furthermore, Asian chicks do not have big hooters. Most of them, at least.

Saul ... When my ultra conservative missionary wife heard the story she remarked "their girls don't have 'butts"'.....

As an update, here's another article that describes plans to open Hooters stores in India. That would be cool.

Hooters coming to communist China

Chain known for wings and waitresses with next to no clothing set to open in Shanghai.
October 22, 2004: 3:13 PM EDT

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - In the clearest signal to date that China has made the leap from emerging economy to a global powerhouse, Hooters will open its first location in the communist country next week, a spokesman for the company confirmed Friday.

The Atlanta-based chain, known for its chicken wings and scantily clad waitresses, will open the Shanghai location on Monday, Hooters spokesman Mike McNeil told CNN/Money.

"The franchisee plans to open between 5 and 10 locations in the next few years. There may be a slight change to the menu, but the waitstaff apparel will be the same," he said, adding that the Chinese franchisee has been well received by the government.

Privately-owned Hooters joins other restaurant chains Pizza Hut, KFC, McDonald's and Dominos that have opened locations in Shanghai.

Hooters has also unveiled plans to open several locations in India next year.

"Hooters is a strong and exciting brand name that has a very unique place in its industry offering a perfect atmosphere to have fun, relax with friends and enjoy great food. I am looking forward to the 'recreation' of this dining atmosphere in India," said Sunil Bedi, Managing Director of Hooters of India (H.O.I.) Pvt. Ltd. in a statement in August.

Hooters of America has also opened restaurants in Singapore, Taiwan, Chile and Austria.

In 2003 the company started an airline with a hub in Myrtle Beach, S.C. that flies to Newark, N.J., Atlanta, Nassau, Chicago, Columbus and Baltimore.

It won't bring them freedom, but they will have more overpriced shitty food than they know what to do with.

Maybe they could call the place 'Raisins' instead, then.
