The Chinese media is redefining the English language. According to the People's Daily online, "The majority of Japanese people opposed Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi's stance on China, according to a survey result released Tuesday by Asahi Shimbun newspaper on Tuesday.

"Some 48 percent of those who responded in the telephone survey said they do not agree with the premier's political attitude to China while 35 percent said they support Koizumi on the issue and 17 percent refused to give a clear answer, the daily said."

A majority means half or more. Good job, guys. Also, I must say I was entertained by the fact that it was reported that people "refused to give a clear answer." In most polls, that category generally is undecided or lack of knowledge, but I now have a picture in my head of 17% of respondents acting like the mother of Michael Jackson's accuser on the stand, going off on tangents that have nothing to do with the question asked.
