Daily linklets 29th November

Heinz ketchup and the Hong Kong connection.
The simple solutions for Chinese coal mine safety.
China's growing number of protests are signs of economic, not political, strife, according to Caroline Cooper. That's not always the case, as Taishi demonstrates. Curtis Gale Weeks has more thoughts on the struggle for political control between Beijing and the regions.
More interesting is a report on documentary film makers recording grievances against local governments. Yet again technology chips away at old political paradigms.
A blogger uses Google Earth to identify potential illegal land clearing in Laos.
The story of Japanese Peruvians. They're not all ex-Presidents.
The frosty reception for the Beijing Olympic's Five Friendlies.
China is officially not a currency manipulator. It might be convenient for certain America politicians, but the yuan's level is a major contributing factor behind America's trade deficit. Logan Wright tells us this finding is Bush and Snow flexing anti-protectionist muscles.
Today's quote of the day: A woman's vagina is built so that a baby's head with a 10-centimeter diameter can get out. No matter how meaty you think your penis is, it's never going to be bigger than a baby's head. From an article on Japanese penis size (via Japundit).
Jackie Chan: hypocrite. American culture is bad unless it pays you US$15 million a time.
What makes Korean dramas so compelling and a copmarison with Japanese dramas.
Mao declared the worst of the democide leaders.
A listing of little known Bruce Lee facts.
The science of beer goggles.
(18:10) Another contender for quote of the day: ...the next time a PAP politician trots out the tired old "Confucian gentleman" line, just tell him to go to Legalist hell. - Dr. Sam Crane on the most un-Confucian Singaporean Government.
