Teaching Comparative Government and Politics

The answer is diligence

The question for me has always been, how do about 3,000 law makers gather for 10 days in Beijing and do a year's worth of legislating for a country of more than a billion people?

It must be a hard job, judging from this photo of delegates to the National Peoples Congress publshed on the Danwei blog.



The photo comes from a Chinese blog featuring Home Simpson in the title bar.


This reminds me of a story Mark Salzman tells in his book Iron and Silk about only being bored by meetings in China if you try to stay awake. Iron and Silk was also made into a movie.

Details on the movie from Internet Movie Database.
