Charlie Sheen

What Charlie Sheen tells us about China

The Global Times is the national English daily newspaper published by the Communist Party.  Its Chinese counterpart and the other major party paper, The People's Daily, provides official information on the policies and viewpoints of the government.

And this paper joined the likes of TMZ.com and People Magazine this week, by writing about Charlie Sheen.

The Global Times' op-ed excoriates the actor, jumping at the case of his two girlfriends he lives with and asking, "Is he too poor to set up his wives and mistresses in different houses?"  Like a good Chinese philanderer should.

It further points out "racism, spousal abuse, addiction, politics, mental illness, boasting about mistresses are all subjects best dealt with behind closed doors.
