Liu Xiang Is Now A Poster Boy For Premature Ejaculation

Posted: 26 Sep 2012 08:19 PM PDT

Poor Liu Xiang. In 2004, he was the poster boy for China and Asian athletes. Now he is the unwitting symbol of premature ejaculation.

As Ministry of Tofu noted on Tuesday, a newspaper ad has found another way to poke fun at Liu's dismal performance (I mean his fakery and everything that transpired after he crashed out, not the injury itself) at the London Olympics. The ad reads:

He fell right after the start! PE, a pain that men are too embarrassed to talk about!

Huifen European-style NT penile dorsal nerves minimally invasive surgery. Within only a quarter of an hour, your sex life can be prolonged 15 minutes.

On Sina Weibo, one of these posts (there are more than one) has received nearly 1,200 comments and more than 11,000 forwards to date. If you want to discover all the "laughing" emoticons available on Weibo — open-mouthed, giggling, etc. — click on that link.

And then, in the comments section, you have the True Believer who gets all huffy and is like, "Lowly merchant. Can't even afford a spokesperson. Only score points on table-scraping shots. And you want to help patients. Who would dare? No ethics, no baseline, degenerate hospital. Liu Xiang and you have half a mao's worth of relations." Yes, @呆大秋. Meanwhile, in the world the rest of us occupy, where a man is only as sacrosanct as the number of hurdles he's able to clear, and the number of 15-minute sex blocks he's able to complete:

Teacher in Shenzhen punishing kids by stamping their foreheads

A teacher, surnamed Guo, has defended her actions in stamping the foreheads of students to denote good and bad behaviour, something irate parents have compared to the branding of criminals during the Cultural Revolution by pouring ink over their hair and faces. [ more › ]

‘Property Slump Reshapes List of China’s Richest’: Wall Street Journal

Posted: 26 Sep 2012 06:40 PM PDT

I follow the Chinese real estate market closely. Especially whether or not the recent declines in residential prices will let more of China's '47%' afford decent places to live.

Somehow, until today, I hadn't considered the impact on the wealth of individual wealthy Chinese. But, boy, I am now:

Nearly 50% of China's top 1,000 wealthiest citizens have faced financial losses this year, with the average wealth falling 9% to $860 million from a year earlier, according to a new ranking of China's richest from Hurun Report, a Shanghai-based group that follows wealth trends in the country. Thirty-seven of China's richest have lost as much as half of their wealth and the number of dollar billionaires dropped to 251, 20 fewer than a year earlier, the report said.

But, don't despair. '…[M]anufacturing had replaced property as the biggest source of wealth for China's ultrarich.' Check out this chart from the Wall Street Journal's  'Property Slump Reshapes List of China's Richest' (quoted throughout):

Giving how manufacturing has been going, this could a problem in the next survey. So, where will Chinese rich people next make fortunes?

Here's a good WSJ video that lays things out:

How bad have things really gotten among the economic elite?

'…although some wealth has been lost this year, there have also been significant gains. "Compare this list to just two years ago and you will see that China's wealth has increased significantly," he [Rupert Hoogewerf, Hurun's chairman and chief researcher] said, noting that six years ago China had 15 billionaires, compared with the 251 now.

Oh, okay, not as bad as I thought.

Teacher stamps marks on underachieving students’ faces

Posted: 26 Sep 2012 02:19 PM PDT

From Southern Metropolis Daily and Sina Weibo

An elementary school teacher in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen has been widely criticized on the Internet for stamping red and blue marks on her students' faces based on how they behave at school to tell good students from "bad" ones.

The complaint over the public humiliation and discrimination was first brought by a parent to Southern Metropolis Daily. "Is that any different from stigmatizing an inmate with tattoo on his face in the ancient times?" he asked.

The reporter with the newspaper came to Shangfen Primary School in Shenzhen on the afternoon of September 25, and saw at least three students bearing marks on their foreheads in the third-grade class.  According to the students, top-performing students received red marks on their faces, whereas the mischievous ones got blue marks.

In Class 1, Grade 3 at Shangfen Elementary School in Shenzhen, three students are seen bearing stamps on their faces, including one girl having a red flower on her forehead that says "Award."

stamp02

The other two students wear smudged blue marks. Both of them have tried to wipe the mark away.

One student with a blue mark told the reporter, "Everyone knows blue stands for bad behavior. Many classmates laughed at me. My pride is so hurt." He said he once pled the teacher to stamp the mark on his arm instead of the face to make it less visible, only to be refused by the teacher. The teacher even told him not to remove it until he got home.

The reporter found the class was the only one in the school to stamp marks directly on students' faces. The teacher, Ms.Guo, explained that the school has been promoting a performance appraisal system since the beginning of this year. Each student has a booklet to collect stamps. After a certain number of red stamps are collected, the student can get a badge of honor awarded by the school principal.

Ms. Guo, who has been accused of her improper teaching method, graduated from college not long ago and is a new teacher at the elementary school.

"Given that once the stamp is left on the booklet, it is final and cannot be erased, I wanted to stamp it on their bodies, especially on underachieving kids, to spur them on and fight for more red stamps," Guo explained. She apologized for her lack of consideration.

Li Yu, the vide principal, said that Ms. Guo is a newly-arrived teacher and lacks experiences; she meant well but did not handle the matter correctly, "We will strengthen our training of young teachers to avoid similar mistakes in the future. Respect for kids always comes first," but he did not say if Guo would be fired.

Last October, an elementary school forced "bad" students to wear green scarf as opposed to the typical red scarf worn by most Chinese pupils as a badge of shame, which came in for much criticism of its teaching method.

Selected comments on Sina Weibo:

驴脾气小驴:I just don't get it: isn't it perfectly normal for little kids to make a mistake?? Why not? Why can't they?? If you want to make a saint out of them, at least be a saint yourself! What stuff are teachers nowadays made of~!

Emma-白哲:Don't dismiss it as a trifle. Its impact on kids' psychology may be permanent. Little kids have a strong sense of pride. They must be encouraged often. How can one hurt kids' pride? I think choosing the right school is also important. Should have enough information about teachers before letting kids enroll. My cousin used to attend a dancing class. The teacher there used a lot of profanity when talking. The kid was psychologically adversely affected. Later her parents even filed a complaint.

溜溜达达的懒猫:So are they really going to keep this teacher?

御风而行Vivian:I think it is actually a good idea to use the red stamp as reward. The blue stamp is about letting students know the shame and then work harder. I don't think the blue stamp is that much a big deal. Teaching is not an easy job. When you have students who just won't listen to whatever you say and impervious to the grill, you gotta use extreme methods to achieve your intended goal.

众人深爱的家骏哥:I am curious: how many ignorant and unethical scumbags like this is China's army of teachers made of?

VenusLondonH:Haha, nice mark! Like those on pork for sale!

燕大人围脖:The psychological scar one gets at a very young age is very difficult to get rid of! Such a memory will persist for the rest of one's life!

Icy努力上多大:Don't always use the excuse of letting kids know their mistake to mask mistakes of adults. No education can make it up to the psychological would kids get. Such a teacher should really be fired, because her frame of mind, quality of character, education and (lack of) cultivation have all disqualified her for the job of elementary teaching.

嘛嘛育萱:There are unethical teachers everywhere. Hope my daughter will never meet any one of them in the future.

杨朝雨:Chinese good kids will pay for the school, for their education in obedience. Chinese good kids are easily overwhelmed by flattery and honor, whereas those who score low in exams are considered imbeciles. Bad students are negligible laughing stocks at school. Chinese good kids are like caged birds who forget how to fly and lose their bearings once they are released into the society. Chinese good kids are always one being taught. Good kids, mama's boys?

骑着驴去飚:Red stands for good; blue stands for bad. The truth is, red countries are autocracies; blue countries are democracies. Blue is good. They can definitely relocated to the U.S. The red ones, just go ahead being enslaved in the Heavenly Kingdom!

CL小妞:Those who work as a teacher will also be a parent one day. Try to think about the future of your own kids.

As the time machine settled emerged from the plasma void, the world came back into focus through the tiny porthole. It was a jungle, and the jungle was high and broad and the entire world forever and forever. Sounds like music and sounds like flying tents filled the sky, and those were pterodactyls soaring with cavernous gray wings, gigantic bats of delirium and night fever. As the machine started its cooldown cycle, Eckles reached for his rifle and pursed his lips in satisfaction: after years of anticipation, it was finally time for the hunt to begin.

Learning Chinese? Our shows at the advanced level assume that you're either relatively fluent in mandarin, or very close to being fluent.

Protester Crushed To Death By Steamroller, Possibly On Order Of Town’s Vice Mayor

Posted: 26 Sep 2012 11:14 AM PDT

On September 16, a man protesting demolition-relocation in Lianhua City in Changsha, Hunan province was crushed to death under a steamroller, possibly by order of the deputy mayor, as reported by KDNet on Sunday. The incident was posted onto Sina Weibo on Monday, where it has since been forwarded more than 16,000 times, eliciting comments such as, "Why should we love country?" (@manhengjie) and, "Spectacle too horrible to endure" (@娴情依旧4448).

The story:

A villager named He Zhihua was upset about being forced to relocate to make room for a road project, so on September 16, he confronted Lianhua City vice mayor Ling Yun at a construction site. Ling slapped him, escalating a volatile situation. According to witnesses, He laid himself in front of a steamroller and shouted, "You got any skill, you'll run me over!"

Ling's reply was unexpected.

"If this expressway is to be finished, a few people need to die. Killing you will yield monetary compensation." And just like that, the steamroller drove over He, "splattering his brains," as the KDNet write-up describes it. Those watching nearby apparently said, "Too merciless."

The next day, another clash broke out between contractors and residents, resulting in 20 villagers getting injured, five of them seriously. Their camera phones were confiscated. Furthermore, He's 13-year-old daughter, He Ao, tried to commit suicide by jumping into the river, but was fortunately rescued.

Still according to KDNet, a local resident named Wang Jiyong said that the government sent 400 to 500 public security officers to steal He's corpse and handcuff those who would do something about it. He Zhihua's family had not even properly prepared his body for the funeral — which, obviously, will now not happen.

(The website Infowars reports — source unknown — that "the government sent in 200 men to keep angry locals at bay and hide the remains of the body. The man's family was offered a sum of money in order to keep quiet about the incident.")

Lab-grown meat: it’s better for the planet but will anyone eat it?

Posted: 25 Sep 2012 09:54 AM PDT

Lab-grown meat could help reduce the environmental footprint of intensive farming. But will it ever appeal to vegetarians and eco-conscious consumers? 

Before the end of the year, Dutch scientists are promising a high-profile debut for a burger made from meat grown not on a farm but in their laboratory.

Synthetic or lab-grown meat involves taking a small amount of cells from a living animal and growing it into lumps of muscle tissue in the lab, which can then, in theory, be eaten as meat for human consumption.

As well as saving an animal, lab-grown meat also reduces the negative environmental impact of modern-day intensive meat production, including land use, animal feed and greenhouse gas emissions. In contrast to vegetarian, non-animal based alternatives to meat like soya, tofu, Quorn or other vegetable proteins, artificial meat has a much higher protein content as well as tasting and having a more similar texture to slaughtered animal meat.

The technology behind lab-grown meat has been around since the late 1990s, but producing an affordable and tasty meat product has proved elusive. But two different researchers in the US and Europe are now confident they are close to a breakthrough.

Backed with US$400,000 (2.5 million yuan) of funding from an anonymous donor, professor Mark Post of Maastricht University says he will be holding a public tasting session of his lab-grown burger in the next few months.

However, he admits that his is only a demonstration of the potential of lab-meat, and that he is not yet close to producing a cost-effective version.

Another researcher, Hungarian-born Gabor Forgacs from the University of Missouri, appears closer after becoming the first scientist in the US to publicly eat lab-grown meat at a conference last year.

He was recently named by animal rights group PETA as the most likely winner of its US$1 million prize for the first mass-produced artificial chicken that is indistinguishable from real chicken meat.

Forgacs previously worked on creating tissue and organs for humans before realising the same technology could be used to engineer meat. He has now started a company, Modern Meadows, to develop his commercial lab-grown meat, with the help of funding from the US Department of Agriculture."What we're going to make is sort of a consumerable biomaterial it's going to be made of animal cells and have the character, texture of a certain type of meat," says Forgacs.

"It may not necessarily end up being the hamburger that we regularly eat but it can be an ingredient to many things. Take the analogy of flour. You don't eat flour, it's not very tasty but you eat a zillion products that contain flour and are very yummy so whether this is going to be the major application of our product I don't know but this is definitely something I envisage it leading to."

Lab-grown meat better for the planet

Both Professor Post and Dr Forgacs say they are motivated by the need to reduce the environmental impact of meat production. The UN Food and Agricultural Organization has estimated that 18% of global greenhouse-gas emissions are accounted for by the livestock sector.

In contrast, research published last year from the University of Oxford estimated that lab-grown meat produces 78-96% lower greenhouse gas emissions than conventionally produced meat within the EU. It also uses 99% less land and 82-96% less water.

"The rules of the game of meat production are not the same as they were 100 years ago," says Forgacs. "It's not sustainable. We are destroying this planet with intensive meat production. Seventy percent of arable land today is one way or another connected to animals through grazing animals or growing food for them. We're running out of it."

Forgacs admits that initially at least, his lab-grown meat is likely to be an expensive niche product, costing something similar to Kobe beef (US$125 to US$395 a kilo).

"This product isn't going to be for the masses at the beginning, it's going to be for eco-conscious people and people who don't eat meat for ethical reasons," he says.

Lab-grown meat evokes food safety fears

However, social scientists say it is still far from certain whether or not consumers will accept and eat it. A consumer worried about meat's environmental cost might also be wary of lab-manipulated food. Forgacs and Post are both conscious of the bad publicity and scepticism that has surrounded genetically modified food.

"The people making in-vitro meat, particularly those working in the EU, are very aware of having it associated with genetic modification," explains Neil Stephens, a sociologist from Cardiff University who has been studying the emergence of lab-grown meat. "It would be possible to use GM in making in-vitro meat but scientists do not want to do that or associate their product with in-vitro meat."

Beyond the GM-type food safety fears, there is still widespread disagreement among scientists about how to classify lab-grown meat. Forgacs, for one, says the term lab-grown meat "turns people off right away."

"Some want it to be meat, and recognised like any other meat," says Stephens. "Others think it is better to be seen as a new type of meat and as such OK to taste or look different. Then there is a minority who feel it is a meat substitute, very meat-like but not meat."

"I would argue that we are still at a point at which the definition or categorisation of in vitro [lab-grown] meat – what it is - remains unclear. The best description of it is an 'as-yet undefined ontological object'."

Stephens says this and many other unanswered questions about consumer acceptance will need to be resolved before lab-grown meat ever reaches our supermarket shopping trolleys.

"If it ever is a marketable product it will still be a small one. It is not going to be plumped on our supermarket shelves. It will initially have limited availability so will have time to gain acceptability," says Stephens.

Mid-Week Links: Panda cub death, Chinese aircraft carrier, and a music video between Zhang Muyi, 24, and Akama Miki, 12

Posted: 26 Sep 2012 06:30 AM PDT


This afternoon in Beijing, overlooking Tiananmen Square (picture by Alicia)

The entire BJC editorial board is at trivia, and we swear we're only here for the "fun." Here are your links.

Sad: 6-day-old panda cub dies in Washington DC's National Zoo. "Thousands of people had watched an online video feed of the cub's mother, 14-year-old Mei Xiang, hoping to catch a glimpse of the newborn during its few days of life. Fans from around the country and the world shared their sympathy on social media sites, and many said they shared an emotional connection with the burly, black-and-white bear. // Since the cub's death, Mei Xiang has started eating and interacting with her keepers again. She slept Sunday night while cradling a plastic toy in an apparent show of maternal instinct, Kelly said." [Washington Post]

Report: Foxconn disturbances will recur unless there's change from within. "But the improvements are not enough, many Foxconn workers say. 'It's not about the money. . . . It's a problem of management. It's a mess. The guards often abuse their power over the workers,' said Wang Zhiqian, who used to work on Foxconn's production line and now recruits workers for the company. 'We attract many fewer workers now than in 2010. People would rather work at a hotel or other places. It's not a lack of workers in these areas — it's a problem of spiritual emptiness.' // Wang and others describe workdays that routinely extend three hours into overtime, leaving little opportunity to do anything after hours but sleep. And they say there is little talk among the workers, who stew in their frustrations." [Washington Post]

Corollary: "The riot at Foxconn — or any of the other five hundred 'mass incidents' that China records on an average day — has implications far beyond Apple. Labor activists say that they are happening more often this year than last." [Evan Osnos, New Yorker]

Behold, China's first aircraft carrier. "The 300m (990ft) Liaoning – named after the province where it was refitted – is a refurbished Soviet ship purchased from Ukraine. // For now the carrier has no operational aircraft and will be used for training. // But China says the vessel, which has undergone extensive sea trials, will increase its capacity to defend state interests." [BBC]

People! "During last week's Nanjing Live cosplay event in, well, Nanjing, a young girl was attacked while on stage by supposed anti-Japanese protesters. The cosplayer, who remains unnamed, was cosplaying as a character from the Chinese/Taiwanese classic rpg The Legend of Sword and Fairy (仙劍奇俠傳). // The Legend of Sword and Fairywas a martial arts fantasy RPG developed in Taiwan in 1995. The game reached cult status once it hit the Chinese Mainland. It had very little to do with Japan." [Kotaku]

See, we don't only link to Global Times when it does bad things; not sure about the byline though. "This spree of utilizing the Diaoyu Islands as a commercial catchword is shameful. // Patriotism is a profound feeling that should never be aroused through glib commercialism, used to amuse consumers and fatten wallets. // The country remembers a notice announcing 'No dogs or Chinese allowed,' at the entrance of Huangpu Park in Shanghai in the early 20th century as a racist sign symbolizing a dark era. It is ludicrous that such a despicable notice today has found a copycat in our country today." [Chen Chenchen, Global Times]

Sad, again: bride killed by bus just days before wedding. "A young couple were standing on the side of the road waiting for the bus. The man noticed the bus they wanted to take was passing them, and the woman stuck her thumb out. The bus did not slow down and hit her, pushing her toward the roadside barrier 4 meters away." [The Nanfang]

Raysissss? "By traveling from city to city on a map, microscopic protists known as slime molds have figured out how to take over the world. // Starting in Beijing, the slime mold Physarum polycephalum developed a well-organized network for global domination that mimicked historic trade routes like Asia's Silk Road." [Wired]

Remember 24-year-old Zhang Muyi and 12-year-old Akama Miki's "love"? They've made a duet music video, via Gawker:

Finally…

Interview with Ying Zhu, author of Two Billion Eyes – The Story of China Central Television. [Danwei]

David Schlesinger on China: "News doesn't necessarily equal understanding." [Tripod Advisers]

"Efforts to rescue a total of 22 miners, who were trapped following three separate accidents in different parts of China, continued on Monday." [China Daily]

"24 funny differences between China and the United States." [China Whisper]

Finally, finally…

Human Flesh Engine Search Is On For Man Who Assaulted Toyota Corolla Driver In Xi’an [Graphic Video]

Posted: 26 Sep 2012 04:00 AM PDT

On September 15 in Xi'an, Shanxi province, an anti-Japanese protest got so out of hand that a Chinese man was partially paralyzed when someone clobbered him over the head with a piece of steel. Fifty-one-year-old Li Jianli's only crime? Driving a Toyota Corolla with his family. His wife futilely pleaded with the mob, "It was wrong of us to buy a Japanese car. We won't buy one ever again, OK?"

We knew it was only a matter of time that a video would surface of the attack, and behold, it's above. Warning: the violence is graphic, a near-front-row view of a crazed man striking Li multiple times with a U-shaped bike lock. While the wife hysterically tends to her unconscious husband who's bleeding from the head, we hear the sound of thwacking, probably from people who failed to recognize the gravity of the situation and continued pounding the Corolla. One man in the crowd angrily shouts, "Can we first save this guy?" He speaks with a pretty heavy accent, but Shanghaiist's Kenneth Tan — who first posted this video — translates his next phrase as, "We are all Chinese, have you started to take him for a Japanese?"

Of course we would never wish for someone's physical injury, even in the name of justice. But we don't have to care what happens to this guy if — when — he's found. Pictures of him after the jump. Youku has, unsurprisingly, censored the above video. Update: It's on ifeng though, embedded after the jump.
