OH that's such a lovable story! Having grown up in a communist country (Romania to be precise) I can appreciate all the anti-capitalist rhetoric - if only it had been as funny as this. But now I really have to read the book that the story is meant to accompany on the road. Do I sense a tinge of Borat infatuation here? I hope so!
By the way, the story proves that "the harsh realities of capitalism" I was told about as a kid must have been very accurate! Umm - except kids, luckily, tend to believe the opposite of party propaganda... So if I had read it as a kid, I would have hated the bears even more!
To sum up: delicious story!

I don't think it's so much a Borat voice as much as it is the way Chinese is spoken.
