    Default Li Hung Chang's Razor, Article Daily Ardmoreite 1901

    Li Hung Chang (February 15, 1823 – November 7, 1901) was a leading statesman of the late qing empire. He quelled several major rebellions and served in important positions of the Imperial Court, including the premier viceroyalty of Zhili.Although he was best known in the West for his generally pro-modern stance and importance as a negotiator, Li antagonized the British with his support of Russia as a foil against Japanese expansionism in Manchuria and fell from favor with the Chinese after their loss in the 1894 Sino-Japanese war .

    I really shouldn't have liked that, but I'm not going to unlike it. I promote idiotic fun whenever possible, and I'm still smiling. It can't be wrong!

    While not quite as heady as the Ark of the Covenant, it's possible that Li Chung Hang's razor will surface on the Bay some day. If it does, I suspect the Celestials will launch a bidding war to end all bidding wars.
