I've put the Chinese history lessons to date up at my web site. They're not linked to by any of the other site pages yet. Nor do they link back to the other pages, except for a few references in the romanization section. They only include what I wrote, none of the comments, but if anyone wants a relatively clean set of references, pop by this page and bookmark to your little heart's content.

Today's pulp survival tip is #170. Announcing your nationality in a tight spot, while very patriotic, is more likely to get you trouble than it is to get you special treatment. Unless you are trying to psych yourself up for the stunt you're about to undertake, save it for after you've made it out alive.

Today's pulp survival tip.

You're also free to reference your nationality when making sarcastic estimation of your chance of survival vs. overwhelming odds...as long as you don't use your real nationality.

"Maybe. Just maybe, my boys can take 'em." Beat. "Yeah. And I'm a Chinese fighter pilot."
