This is Randi Hacker with another Postcard from Asia from the KU Center for East Asian Studies.

From Wrigley Field to Verizon Stadium, we've grown quite used to seeing company names on public venues. As if any further proof were needed that it's a corporate world, here's a story from China. Two city governments in Sichuan Province want to name their new airports after two of its most famous... intoxicants. Yes. You heard that right. Yibin wants its airport to be called Wuliangye, after a 136 proof liquor and Renhuai wants its airport called Maotai, a killer grain alcohol. A stern editorial in the Beijing News expressed dismay at the idea of an airport named after the very stuff you don't want your pilot anywhere near. Well yeah.
