Daily linklets 31st May

Beingfeng Teahouse reports a Dell is facing a PR disaster in China. As a commenter there says: Wouldn't that be a nice add: "Don't buy at Walmart, with every dollar you spend there you are supporting the Chinese government!"
Jodi feels sorry for an angry Asian male, as does GI Korea. Then visit Bitter Asian Men, the website (via Plunge). Funny stuff.
Marmot reveals Korea as a country of desperate celibate housewives. And in Japan a survey on how long a couple can be considered sexless. I'm starting to suspect the underlying cause of so many East Asian "tensions".
Japan's PM visits a shrine without controversy. See, it can be done.
The China Daily plagarises USA Today and catches the censor napping. Asiapundit notes the censorship system is backfiring.
Many Chinese prefer powder to breast.
Running Dog has braved the perils of reporting in China to reflect on Chinese history and other fictions.
A survey has found 90% of Japanese worry more foreign tourists will mean more crime. That's a catchy slogan for the Japan Tourist Bureau.
Panties with built-in GPS...Gaijin Biker goes in chase of a hoax.
A sucker for women in uniform.
(15:41) Pundita says South Korea, not China, is the key power broker in negotiations with North Korea. Meanwhile the Americans are talking off completely cutting off North Korea.
Pakistan managed to lose the 1965 war despite having a complete set of India's war plans. Now that takes skill.
Oh my God: Joe Bosco is tangentially complimentary towards President Bush.
Japan's right wing is gaining sway over its youth and say they've apologised enough.
Tim Worstall catches the European Commission lying over crucial data in the China textile quota war. What the EU also fails to acknowledge is while its producers are suffering, its consumers are benefitting from cheaper textiles. But since when has the EU been about consumer welfare?
Jepordy time: the answer - Kyrgyzstan. The question: What country may have American, Russian and Chinese troops in the same place at the same time? Can you play 3 sides of a street?
