| Fan Bingbing flashes nipples in see-through Oscar dress Posted: 27 Feb 2013 10:54 AM PST
Fan Bingbing stunned Oscar watchers with a trio of beautiful gowns that she wore for both the awards ceremony and after parties. But the real stunner of the evening was this peachy Elle Saab gown which, if you look closely, is almost entirely see-through on top. This one really had people talking. Netizens are wondering why she decided to bare it all. Much of the reaction online has been poking fun at the fact that, well, she had three different outfits in one night. A Taiwanese tabloid also commented that even though she didn't win anything, she kept busy. Her other gowns for the evening included this magenta gown by Marchesa, which she wore at the ceremony. For the Vanity Fair After Party, she she wore this striped gown from Oscar De La Renta. Source: dramafever |

| Ministry of Truth: Paper-Pushers and Villa-Owners Posted: 02 Mar 2013 07:15 AM PST The following censorship instructions, issued to the media by government authorities, have been leaked and distributed online.
Chinese journalists and bloggers often refer to these instructions as "Directives from the Ministry of Truth." CDT has collected the selections we translate here from a variety of sources and has checked them against official Chinese media reports to confirm their implementation. Since directives are sometimes communicated orally to journalists and editors, who then leak them online, the wording published here may not be exact. The original publication date on CDT Chinese is noted after the directives; the date given may indicate when the directive was leaked, rather than when it was issued. CDT does its utmost to verify dates and wording, but also takes precautions to protect the source. © Anne.Henochowicz for China Digital Times (CDT), 2013. | Permalink | No comment | Add to del.icio.us |

| The Ralls Wind Farm Case: Not Quite Dead Yet Posted: 02 Mar 2013 04:58 AM PST I've successfully made it through the first work week at my new in-house job, so I'll reward myself with some blogging. You may recall the Ralls case, where some Chinese investors (backed by SOE Sany) purchased a U.S. firm that owned several wind farms. However, the siting of one of these was problematic (too close to a military installation) and, long story short, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the US (CFIUS) decided that the deal should be unwound. The case then went up to President Obama, something that usually doesn't happen with CFIUS matters, and he went along with the decision. Then Ralls sued, challenging Obama's decision on several grounds. The last time I wrote about this, I essentially called this whole thing a loser, since the underlying statute that deals with CFIUS says that such a presidential order is not reviewable by the courts. In other words, the law specifically says that the court should throw out the challenge.
And this is what happened. I'm about one week late with this, but a Federal judge handed down a decision in the case on February 22. Of the two parts to the ruling, one was expected and the other part was not, although in my mind it is quite welcome. The first part was all about this non-reviewable issue. The court summarily dismissed those claims that directly challenged the president's decision. Nothing exciting here. The law says the decision cannot be reviewed, and that's the end of that. But wait, that's not the end of the story. Part two addressed another claim that I didn't really take seriously when I read about it before. It still might not go anywhere, but it does intrigue me. Here's the language:
The issue here is that these CFIUS decisions are barebones rulings. President Obama's decision here similarly just said "You can't do that" without any reason whatsoever, beyond "national security." That sucks and has always been a hot issue with respect to CFIUS. Goes to transparency and such. Here, we've got much more than a simple transparency complaint of course. The due process challenge is obvious: the government shouldn't be able to summarily deprive someone of property like this without even an explanation, much less some sort of hearing, etc. Sounds reasonable to me. I realize of course that the big wild card is national security, and I suspect that's the issue that will decide the matter, probably in favor of the government (if I had to guess). So . . . cool stuff. We'll see whether Ralls actually takes the next step and pursues the due process claim further. I kind of hope they do, just to see what happens when these CFIUS complaints get more press. Have a nice weekend. © Stan for China Hearsay, 2013. | Permalink | No comment | Add to del.icio.us |
