Wisdom of Chairman Mao.

I was able to buy a copy of the English language Chinese Daily on the way home from work.  In Wuxi, the English paper had been available only by subscription.  The newsstand I bought the English paper is the only place I know of where you can buy a copy of the paper and sometimes they don't have it in stock.  Be that as it may, the English China Daily is slim pickings for reading but it is better than nothing for someone who rarely has an opportunity to buy an English language periodical.

The Tuesday edition of the China Daily said that Chinese consumers are opting for Green Products.

On its editorial page, there is a words of wisdom section.  Tuesday's edition had the following:

The people are like water and the army is like fish.

Mao Zedong (1893-1976)

Education is a better safeguard of liberty than a standing army.

Edward Everett (1794-1865) US statesman, Orator
