This is utterly bizarre. My cell phone service provider, China Mobile, sends out daily news digests by SMS. Yesterday they send me a most unusual and somewhat sinister story.

Ignore Foreign Languages

They love their red banners round here. As I've mentioned before, everywhere you go you can see long thin red banners full of propaganda and other nonsense. No one notices them any more. If they ever did. But this one caught my eye.

Zhuang Banner

Liuzhou is in Guangxi. Although Guangxi is often referred to as a 'province', technically it isn't. The official name is Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. This is because this is home to China’s largest ethnic minority, the Zhuang people.
