    Next stop in the evolution of Chinese democracy.

    This sure brings up a lot of questions!

    How much is he getting paid??

    Can he read ---- his own damn contract??
    Can he write ---- his own damn signature??

    Imagine Colin Kapernick taking a knee to the Chinese flag. It would never happen of course.
