One country, 1.3 billion people, eight questions

Ah, mysterious China! Inscrutable jewel of the East! There is so much we don't know, such as...

If all Chinese jumped off chairs at once, would cataclysm result?

How much is all the tea in China worth?

What's the story on the ancient Chinese custom of binding women's feet?

Who is the General Tso of "General Tso's chicken" fame?

What's the deal with ramen noodles?

How do they get the fortunes inside Chinese fortune cookies?

Do the Chinese use Chinese water torture?

Is it possible to be dyslexic in Chinese?

Any questions you have past this point, you're on your own.
