China the Beautiful

[chinapage]

Dear friends:

In general, I am unable to honor specific requests to use copyrighted materials from this web site China the Beautiful.

The reason is very simple. It takes a good deal of time and effort
to determine exactly what you want (There are more than 10,000 items here.) and give individual reply to the many requests come in (This website gets one million readers per month! Honestly!).

This web site is a personal project. It is written by me without any staff help. I receive no income from you, any government or any person. I pay all the expenses myself (with the kind consent of my wife.) It is totally free to the public, and there is no advertisement. I am not beholden to no one. And I assume total responsibility for it.

If the material you need is in the public domain, you should be able to
determine that fact yourself, and not have to ask me to do the research for you.

If you work for a company, ask your boss for a thousand dollars to pay for the research.


If you are a student or doing it for a non-profit organization, doing the search on the Internet is good for your soul.

Do not send me the request until you have done your web site. Give
me the url of your website, so I can browse it to see if I like it.


If you feel indignant with this, just ask yourself what you would do if
10,000 people ask you to drop everything to help!


If you still like to talk to me, post your questions here. I'll respond
provided that you state at the start of your post, that you have read this.

Webmaster
