Why do they behave that way? Why can’t they just tell the truth? And when I ask, why do I get accused of this ridiculous, ‘hurting the feelings of the Chinese people?’ – an American rant on “lying, cheating foreigners.”

“I will give thee tables of stone, a law and commandants which I have written.”  – Exodus 24:12
