Covering China -- A Conversation with Rob Schmitz

China's economic rise is one of the most dramatic and complex stories of our time. Reporting on the rapid and sweeping changes underway in there and what those changes mean for the Chinese and everybody else is a great challenge. One reporter who does this consistently well is Marketplace's Rob Schmitz. He's helped us understand a wide range of stories from currency debates and stimulus spending to inflation worries and how families seek to prepare their children to compete in the global economy. In March he generated a lot of discussion by reporting that a widely heard and discussed report about conditions at FoxConn factories turning out Apple and other products had been fabricated. His report led to an unprecedented retraction of Mike Daisey's story by This American Life. Schmitz joined Marketplace in 2010. Prior to that, he was the Los Angeles bureau chief for KQED's The California Report. He's also reported for KPCC (89.3), and as a reporter for Minnespota Public Radio. Prior to his radio career, Schmitz lived and worked in China; first as a teacher in the Peace Corps, then as a freelance print and video journalist.

Some items are from the dealer's own life growing up in a military family living and traveling around the world, living in Africa with the Peace Corps in the 60s. Others come from her personal collections as well as her own continuous hunt for the beautiful, the unusual and the historic. The Candy Shoppe Antiques and Collectibles has a large collection of restaurant ware, including china, glassware and flatware, both unmarked and top marked, and featuring hotels, restaurants, corporations, hospitals, universities, private schools, military, government and fraternal organizations, to name a few. Some unusual things there right now include: travel and propaganda brochures from Mussolini's Italy, uncut slot machine reels that look great framed, and an incredible art deco chandelier with glass shades.

Communism Song.m4v

We had to sing this with the rest of our faculty for the 90 anniversary of the Communist Party of China. It's kind of a Red song mashup (something like four songs in one), but generally it's your standard Red song with lines like, "The women love watching the Red Army," "Praise be to the great Mao Zedong," and, "Cut the enemy's heads off with our machetes." VA and I were clearly the most comfortable singing this. Somehow the Japanese teacher got out of it. Regardless, we wore our Peace Corps pins while we sang.

Nuclear Weapons Commercial: Hubert Humphrey 1968 Presidential Campaign Election Ad

thefilmarchive.org Minnesota elected Humphrey to the United States Senate in 1948 on the DFL ticket, unseating incumbent Republican Joseph H. Ball with 60% of the vote, and he took office on January 3, 1949. He was the first Democrat elected senator from the state of Minnesota since before the Civil War. Humphrey's father died that year, and Humphrey stopped using the "Jr." suffix on his name. He was re-elected in 1954 and 1960. His colleagues selected him as majority whip in 1961, a position he held until he left the Senate on December 29, 1964 to assume the vice presidency. During this period, he served in the 81st, 82nd, 83rd, 84th, 85th, 86th, 87th, and a portion of the 88th Congress. Initially, Humphrey's support of civil rights led to his being ostracized by Southern Democrats, who dominated most of the Senate leadership positions and who wanted to punish Humphrey for proposing the successful civil rights platform at the 1948 Convention. However, Humphrey refused to be intimidated and stood his ground; his integrity, passion and eloquence eventually earned him the respect of even most of the Southerners. His acceptance by the Southerners was also helped a great deal when Humphrey became a protege of Senate Majority Leader Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas. Humphrey became known for his advocacy of liberal causes (such as civil rights, arms control, a nuclear test ban, food stamps, and humanitarian foreign aid), and for his long and witty speeches.

Everything about the culture, religion, food, customs and people is completely different. I didn't know much about Morocco before we left on January 30 to spend four days, but I loved every minute of my time spent there. The program I went on was a Morocco Exchange Program which is lead by people who have finished their service in the Peace Corps in Morocco and wanted to stay in the country a little while longer. They provided us with a little more background about the country, etiquette advice and shared with us their personal experiences with the people. As I said Morocco is unlike any country I have ever visited. This could partly be because almost the entire population is Muslim, which has a direct impact on every aspect of the culture. We took a survey before participating in this Morocco Exchange Program about our impressions of Muslims and Moroccans in general. I had to admit I knew hardly anything about their religion and what I did know was skewed by the bias in the American media.

If the ride wasn't crazy enough, we had a completely insane Canadian geriatric on the mini bus. He raved on and on about how much Thailand sucked, prefacing each complaint with the phrase "In Canada...". Two times he fell out of his seat (he was either drunk or heavily medicated). I counted 3 times where he told people that if he didn't like them, he would "stab them, then shoot them. Just like we do in Canada" he would follow that line with, "but I like you."

"Hanging out in Beijing" Cjabroad's photos around Beijing, China

A TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow of a travel blog to Beijing, China by TravelPod blogger Cjabroad titled "Hanging out in Beijing" Cjabroad's travel blog entry: "For three days before we left for Peace Corps China we had a staging meeting in Chicago, a surreal experience that had nothing to do with what came after. After Peace Corps ended, we had our Beijing staging, ten days in Beijing that had nothing whatsoever in common with what would come after... We left Chengdu on the 26th of July on a train for Beijing along with two other volunteers who had just finished service, Jim and Jen. Jen's sister is working as a nanny in Beijing and had a lovely apartment in the middle of the city, and she's not there right now. So the apartment was generously offered to us and we happily accepted.

Our backpacks and piles of gear, books, and clothing looked a little out of place when piled all over the floor. Beijing isn't anything like the China we've been living in for the past couple of years, so there's always a bit of culture shock when we get there and there are so many westerners living and working there.
