Agreed, roasting prominent expats in China wasn’t the best strategy.
Beijing Cream RIP

Oh the wicked web we weave. Now Beijing Cream bites the dust. Just as well really. I never did get their harassment of expats like CDE or Shaun Rein whose only real crime appeared to be their influence and China success, despite the best attempts by Anthony Tao et al to throw enough mud hoping some would stick. I guess those articles certainly helped bump up their page views and gain some notice. Alas no more, but The Rein and CDE are still making in happen in China and are still successful. What an irony. At the end of the day, no matter how hard Beijing Cream tried, it ultimately failed to achieve anything. Except perhaps make a few expats even more famous. But who will remember Anthony Tao except as being a sour faced, jealous troll? LOL I don’t think that was the original intention

I don’t think many people mourn the death of Beijing Cream. It was never a well loved website I suspect because of its habit of slagging off certain expats online. People were always wary of it they didn’t want to be roasted in the same way. The certainly did a number on a few people here. Probably best it just dies and goes away.

I know he used to do some blow sometimes. Supplier in Sanlitun. Guess that’s why he kept on getting colds recently and looked like total shit before Christmas.

Man I’m hearing all sorts of stories coming out of the woodwork this morning like how Anthony has trashed his apartment, debts left all over, some girl is pregnant, and that he had some problems with the Gong An about content here and hasn’t been paying his taxes either and he owes some heavy people some money. Apparently he just upped and left and even his cat wasn’t fed until the landlord entered and found the place a total wreck. Seems he’s had a melt down and has run away back to the States. What a mess. It seems you live by the sword you die by the sword but Anthony Tao is finished in China.

Sadly it appears true – Anthony has run off leaving a bunch of debts owing. So long, Beijing Cream.

I used to write here. But shocked to see Twitter feeds say Anthony Tao has left China and isn’t coming back. Lots of debts in Beijing and Tianjin and at least one very pregnant girl left in the suburbs. Those leaving bar bills behind it seems it was true, He’s in CA apparently and cannot be contacted. I guess he forgot and left the moderation on his shitty blog open when he ran away. Anthony Taos real China legacy seems to be leaving Debts, and babies yet to be born with no Father or income. WTG you Chinese-American cunt. No wonder people never really trusted you you’ve shown your real face now you cunt. You also never paid me when I wrote a couple reviews here. Anthony Tao You’re the biggest fucking China Expat fraud ever.

A lot of expat sites make a first splash by writing a “scandal” or nasty piece about a well known expat to gain attention. The better known and longer term that individual is the better as it guarantees views. This happens to Shaun Rein as well as CDE. CDE spoilt things by leaving China but Rein still gets attacked (and CDE still a bit here). But reality is both are successful expats in China who developed large companies. They are still going. But the websites that feed their hatred/jealousy of successful folk in China run out of steam. It’s Ironic really. Maybe it’s not a good idea as a model to be slagging other expats off, inevitably you’ll automatically alienate part of your readership. Beijing Cream has never been that popular because other expats were wary of how it can behave and what it says about folk online. If this is the end for Beijing Cream I dont think many people will be very sorry about it.

It’s the end of an era for these personalized blogs written by expats in China. This website isn’t as active as previous and its owners don’t seem to care much about it. It’s unmoderated and full of gsrbage. Lost Laowai is the same nothing new there recently and Peking Duck one post since October. I guess those of us who like scandal and gossip and seeing other expats roasted should look elsewhere. Or maybe expats are just leaving and have lost interest in China. If the economy tanks I guess all these blogs will be a thing of the past.

The morons and scum are out in force of late.

That aside, a clarification.

CDE has been the subject of numerous outings over the years: faux hyphen, dodgy quals, wears boxers rather that jocks and a host of other sins. etc. All misdirection, children.

He is in fact a highly regarded operative working for British Intelligence. (No oxymoron jokes, please.)

His usefulness in China being exhausted – thanks FOARP – he has simply been relocated to Scri Lanka to report on China’s implantation of its “string of pearls” grand strategy. ie the Hambantota port project.

Freedom of speech is great. We all love a good hog roll in the pits of BC’s commenting system. I understand BC wants to keep comments open. But open things get jacked. You aren’t going to leave your car or house open. So why leave your website open.

There shouldn’t be any links to porn anywhere on your site. This is like code red, time to respond and react.

Dudes I just checked your Alexa rankings. You don’t compute, your readership is too small. Anyone can check just go to http://www.alexa.com

By slagging off other expats – especially well known ones – all Beijing Cream has done and continues to do is alienate its readers. You’ve attacked several expats here. Now no-one trusts you, your reader views are falling off a cliff and you don’t even rank on Alexa. You get what you deserve.

There’s something well weird about all this comments. I think BC left some drinking debts around Beijing, then blamed the comments here on an expat who left China three years ago. You may not like this person (whoever the fuck he is, I’m a newbie) but I HAVE hear elsewhere Anthony Tao and Beijing Cream has a reputation for not paying bills and being stingy. I heard you like hanging around folk and mentioning how kwell your website is until they buy you a Heineken to shut you the fuck up. And one of your “parties” you charged RMB150 for you ran out of stubbies of lager after two just cases (24 tinnies). Fuck!
