An alarming investigation of spycams in Chinese hotel bedrooms. An outstanding piece of patient, thorough, dedicated investigation by, well, see for yourself.

I'm always quite fascinated by the 'western' names Chinese people pick when they are abroad. I work with a guy who called himself Franz

That is absolutely brilliant! I thought it might have been the famous Ho Lee Phuk.

Even better than the plane crash investigator Wee Tu Lo.

My old boss swore he used to work with a guy in Hong Kong back in the 80s who called his children Westward and Plymouth.

His name was Ken Ho.

I called bullshit on it immediately, whereupon my boss said it was time for my review and concluded that I was a 'useless turd'. Firm but fair.

I get a lot of work emails from Chinese companies. My favourite Chinese adopted names are Viking Kwok, Frodo Ho and Aroma Ding.

The two sons of the Filipino Military Attache were at our school - Erwin and Rommel.
