Don't Ask, don't tell...

There is a poster on display around Beijing with set of prescriptions for Chinese citizens' interaction with Westerners during the Games.
There are "Eight Don't-Asks" when chatting with foreign guests, the poster advises:



Don’t ask about income or expenses,
don’t ask about age,
don’t ask about love life or marriage,
don’t ask about health,
don’t ask about someone’s home or address,
don’t ask about personal experience,
don’t ask about religious beliefs or political views,
don’t ask what someone does.

Damn. What the hell is there to left talk about?
