Cursing in Chinese, Anti-NBA Hypocrites, Chinese Megaport in Peru [China Compass]

FLF, LLC

Welcome to the China Compass podcast on the Fight Laugh Feast Network!

Find me on Twitter (@chinaadventures) where I post daily reminders to pray for China. Email me any questions or comments @ bfwesten at gmail dot com… And find the rest of our books and projects @ www.PrayGiveGo.us

This week I am recording in Peru, but I start out by talking about the NSA "middle finger" kerfuffle and why I can't curse in Chinese (or Spanish).

Next I talk about NBA players promoting their brands in China, and how to avoid being hypocrital when criticizing people who want to plant their flag in China.

This podcast is brought to you by Pray for China, where we encourage Christians from every US state to pray for every Chinese province. Today we look at Shanghai, which is paired up with New York City for prayer in our Pray for China intercession scheme: https://prayforchina.us/index.php/new-york/

I want to focus on Shanghai today, and after talking about my visit the the 7 Star Shanghai Restaurant, we look at a funny linguistic connection to Peru (Shanghai/Chancay) and then talk extensively about the potentially dangerous Chinese Megaport being built in Peru.

We wind down by talking about all the Chinese people in Peru (and their restaurants) and how I went from serving in Peru (short-term) to living in China (long-term). I also share what's so special about where I am recording this podcast from (the slums of northern Lima, Peru!).

And here's the final plug from the podcast...
