The ships were required, he explained, for the protection of British missionaries, since new disturbances were breaking out in Shantung.

TIANJIN, a northern mega-city, has produced some of China's wittiest comedians.[...]The problem is that the city’s planners sot far ahead of themselves. They built a big new financial district, which they billed as China’s Manhattan, in the Binhai district, on the city’s far-east side.

Against that backdrop, Mr. Liu, a former lawyer with a long interest in psychology, decided that the people of Tianjin needed some help apologizing, "as a way of relieving pressure, reducing barriers and the many negative feelings between people today."
In fact, the apology company is an arm of a psychological stress reduction center that he also runs in some low concrete buildings that belong to the Hongqiao district government, his partner in what he hopes will be a profitable venture.
"Our society is changing very fast and competition is very harsh, so everyone now feels pressure in his heart," Mr. Liu said, sitting under a trellis bearing plastic fruit that covers the ceiling of the center's group counseling room.
