Does that include domestic version?

Should have said chinese language versions not domestic.
Not sure if China Daily, online chinese version, and Global Times
chinese language print version have the same content as
english language or french versions, regarding controversial
issues.

I can honestly say that I prefer the China Daily to that flimsy version of USA Today that US carriers offer ex-China. Some of the stories almost Onion worthy.
This fantastic global times piece should've gotten the author a full-time gig at The Onion:

Many thanks for supporting my point; English speaking persons are privileged to soak up stuff of this nature during all of their flights.
Well, GT is right. Charlie Sheen is not filial. If he were, he would have yelled the Sheen version of "My dad is Li Gang." :D

"Take Edison Chen, who humbly apologized and slipped away to Canada"
More like bolted from HK because of death threats from the Triad.

He ignored his own father's advice to keep quiet, who was once the president of the US.
The author seems to have trouble separating fictional TV from reality. However I have been party to speculation that Charlie Sheen could be the strongest Republican candidate for the 2012 election.

He has great name recognition, people feel he's honest and direct and a great many Americans would like to have a drink with him. Plus he seems resistant to special interest groups and corruption.

I would never purchase any "iPhone" in China unless it was at the Apple Store.

Most foreigners are iPhone sellers in PRC. ;)

I has pleasure visits to BI and SH paid for due to the difference of street price and HK store price of iP****.

Everytime Apple releases a new product it is time for a pleasure visit to PRC.
