dc.descriptionThis is one of hundreds of 60-second radio spots created by the Center for East Asian Studies (CEAS) for Kansas Public Radio (KPR). The purpose of this outreach program is to introduce the people of Kansas to the culture and current issues of East Asia.
dc.description.abstractBroadcast Transcript: Many public figures are gratified to have something named after them. In addition to being flattering, it attests to their enduring legacy, their fame, yes, even their immortality. The Nehru Jacket. The Eames Chair. The Sponge Bob Square Tie. But Zheng Xiaoyu, the deposed head of China's State Food and Drug Administration begs to be excused. A rat poison manufacturer here in China applied for permission to name some of its products after him, partly because he's corrupt, but mostly because he ruled against one of the company's drugs. The powers-that-be turned down the application. Personal vendetta notwithstanding, they say that even a disgraced Communist party member has the right to protect his name, for now. #ceas #china #hacker #tsutsui
