Some massive explosions happened earlier in Tianjin, China. At least 7 dead and hundreds injured. Amazing that more aren't dead, though some are still missing (including two firefighters): http://en.people.cn/n/2015/0813/c90000-8935126.html Here is a video of the explosion from a few different...

I may have mentioned once or several times in the past the disturbing presence of Chinese Imperialism, and noted China's sabre-rattling over disputed islands in the South China Sea. Things had started to get interesting a few months back when it became apparent that far from disputing the...

After toddler is left to die, China disquieted I dug further and found more: Chinese toddler run over twice after being left on street Before anyone generalizes this into negative comments about China or the effects of rampant capitalism (the Chinese themselves seem to be doing a good job...

Link to article: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/05/17/glorious-mission-chinese-video-game_n_863166.html The United States Army developed a video game series called "America's Army" - simulating realistic combat. I guess it was aimed to help educate/recruit/act as propaganda/etc. The enemies...

A better recipient than last year, yeah? :) The Chinese are not amused. The Chinese embassy in Oslo is closed, and Chinese officials in Norway call it a 'blasphemy against the peace prize'. There's even talks about breaking down the trade agreements between China and Norway. The Chinese have...

Not a good day for Sha Zukang, the Chinese diplomat representing China at the U.N. During a U.N. conference dinner, he got drunk, then got up to speak in front of everyone. His comments on the Secretary-General of the U.N. -- "I know you never liked me, Mr. Secretary-General. Well, I never...

And this ain't just rumors...China's official newspapers are all abuzz today with reports about the Hangzhou airport being shut down after a UFO was spotted overhead. Lots of photos and videos, and its been confirmed that it was spotted on the airport's radar, too! VISITORS FROM OUTER SPACE...

This is tragic: Allegedly Shaikh thought he was travelling to China to launch a pop career that would bring world peace. Hopefully China will come to its senses.

The Chinese have not yet told Akmal Shaikh he is to be executed and will not do until 24 hours before he is to die. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8431750.stm I can't see much in this method that is truly humane. If you are to take someone's life would it hurt to let them make final farewells...

Wow. This is literally a five minute walk from my apartment in Beijing; the hotel that is burning, the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, is architecturally striking, and was set to open soon as one of the most luxurious hotels in Beijing. Apparently, not being completed yet, the internal fire...

Never let it be said that Chinese justice isn't swift. They committed their "crime" of trying to get approval to hold a protest only during the last two weeks and they're already off to prison for a year. Emphasis mine. "Will you withdraw your request for a permit, or would you like to go to a...

I assume that everyone's heard about the earthquake in China by now. As of last count, over 40,000 dead, and over 5 million homeless. It is shocking, it is tragic...it is one of those things that tends to just leave you feeling numb. And yet, for all the tragedy here, I want to highlight one...

Almost 8,000 reported dead in and around the city of Chengdu in the Sichuan Province. It is reported as the deadliest earthquake in at least the last three decades. Interestingly, text messaging is playing a large role in news updates, and also being used between family members, due to the...

NPR's Wait,Wait, Don't Tell Me always provides at least one good story. This week, they recounted that China had discovered and closed a factory that was busily manufacturing....."Free Tibet" flags. For the foreign market only, of course....

I was thinking today that, for all the news that we see about China in the international media, it covers only a tiny portion of what actually happens here, and generally does it from an outsider's perspective. I thought it would be interesting to at least some forum members if I supplied...

Well well well...guess who's getting a Hooters restaurant? CHINA! :D Here's a link, with a pic of some of the waitresses. God, I LOVE Capitalism! :D http://abcnews.go.com/WN/story?id=3621677&page=1
