More chinoiserie

An interesting article debunking the meme "that the Chinese word for 'crisis' is composed of elements that signify 'danger' and 'opportunity.'" Some insight into the Chinese writing system for those interested in such things and, needless to say, useful for those given to spouting eastern "pseudo-profundities" as the author so eloquently puts it.
