Commie-ese

The trouble with working as a reporter in China is you have to be able to come up with sentences like this:

China will exert more efforts to crack down on pornography and illegal publications in 2005, aiming to create a favorable cultural environment for its reform and opening up and socialist modernization drive.
The hardest part is keeping a straight face while you do it. The good news is the crackdown is paying off:
China has seized 229 million copies of illegal publications, closed down 2,966 illegal publishing houses and more than 40,000 stalls and shops that sell illegal publications.
That's efficiency for you.
