Yes, I think that in general, it's not because of politics but because of work and 关系 that Chinese people join the Party.

I've never dared to ask my Chinese friends (most of them are not in China) if they belong to the Party. It's a particulary interesting lesson ! Thanks, Chinesepod team !

Thank you so much ! So I was wrong about the measure word for 手机... I'm really confused with the two zhī. Now I wonder which one it is for the other words.

Hey Podster ! You're welcome and thank you to have added more words. It's not very clear to me as well. I think it's 支. 只 is used for animals. I can't understand why some measure words are used with some names of machines and not with others. Maybe there's nothing to understand anyway...

Oups, there's a typo in my previous comment. The first "both" is wrong...

When I try to search Novac Djokovic both on the internet (with "images", for example), both work. I think the Wikipedia name is from Taiwan (it's traditional characters). For the movie names, I don't know. :)
