Christmas Fills China with Joy, Wireless Messages
CNN reports that the Chinese embraced the Christmas spirit this year, sending up to six times the average number of short messages over computers and cell phones. While I hardly call that embracing the true Christmas spirit, it seems the marketeers are succeeding in their effort to ensnare China in capitalist consumerism. While this may be cleverly subversive to China's neo-communist ideology, it is hardly a positive development in such a spiritually impoverished country.
