the lovely and talented Xah Lee

> why is that, of websites in china, every link opens a new window?
I suspect this has something to do with the educational system in China.
I see many question about English from students in China that include
examples, evidently from texts or handouts, which are stilted or impossible
in every dialect of English I know of. Evidently, when a teacher in China
decides this is the way to do things, it is simply impossible to question
that or to introduce any alternatives.
