the pretense is definitely there. last month, when i was in china, i saw
signs of it everywhere. the most popular joke among the locals seems to
be this one:
clinton, putin and dengX are driving in separate cars and come upon a
T-intersection. the driver asks clinton which way to go, and he
confidently answers 'turn right'. when posed the same question by his
driver, putin too replies: 'turn right'. when deng's car approaches the
intersection and he too is queried by his driver, he responds 'put on
your left indicator, but turn right'.
