Mixed marriage OK
Comment on "Mixed marriages on the increase" (China Daily, June 14)
I think Chinese people are slowly but surely learning that it is OK to mix
with others. And this is just the beginning for China.
One question that raises - Chinese males may find it more difficult to find a
female partner. There is already a gender imbalance. So what will happen to
Chinese men?

No child labor
Comment on "Olympic child labor probe continues" (China Daily website, June
14)
Adult graduates will get more job opportunities if employers are less greedy
for higher profits. This should be the practice not just for sake of the
Olympics but for the Chinese who are in need of job opportunities to survive.
It is a matter so easy to fix if common citizens tell the governments where
such places exist.

More surnames
Comment on "Chinese surname shortage sparks rethink" (China Daily website,
June 14)
A name is only a name. It doesn't change one's character or value on earth.
I heartily endorse any changes that will make life easier for people. Stop
hanging on over every move using the excuse of tradition. Life is very short -
just enjoy it.

Pre-Games advice
Elizabeth Clement, a foreign professor in Peking University who has lived in
China for years, told us her suggestions for keeping Beijing a livable city
during the Olympic Games.
She said major international events always cause inconvenience to local
residents, such as injuries due to large crowds in a limited space or lack of
crowd control.
She believes Beijing authorities are aware of these problems in cities that
stage large-scale public events and have done risk assessment and crowd-control
planning.
She suggested that the municipal government balance the overall cultural and
financial benefit against the inconvenience to the city's residents. In her
opinion, traffic will be a major problem during the Olympics. Beijing should
improve traffic and better coexistence of bicycles and cars.
