| China’s Singular Sexual Revolution Posted: 19 Dec 2012 11:24 PM PST In Behind the Red Door, Richard Burger examines various aspects of sex in China, both throughout history and in the resurgence of sexual freedom currently underway. From Mara Hvistendahl at Los Angeles Review of Books: [… T]he book's greatest strength is in carving out a distinctive story for China — and showing that analogies to the Western 1960s sexual revolution are misleading. The Chinese are not so much shedding the mantle of history, Burger illustrates, as they are rediscovering their country's past. And that past includes a sexual openness that puts the West to shame. […] As Chinese embrace their rediscovered sexual freedom, the notion that carnality is a foreign import is an increasingly difficult sell. Beginning in 1993, the government allowed the establishment of sex stores, provided they maintained an ostensibly medical focus. Employees at Adam and Eve, the first establishment in Beijing, wore white lab coats and counseled customers on cures for erectile dysfunction. Today, China is reportedly home to 200,000 sex stores, and dried deer penis and other traditional medicines have been supplemented by lifelike sex dolls and French maid costumes. Chinese factories now produce around 70 percent of the world's sex toys — a feat that the public is invited to admire every year at the Guangzhou National Sex Culture Festival. This year's event, held in early October, drew 250,000 visitors. [… A]s an explanation of the dueling forces within Chinese society, Behind the Red Door is spot-on. Among the book's more delicious details is the list of seven categories of sex worker devised by Chinese police in the 1990s. My former downstairs neighbors fall into tier five — falangmei, literally "hair salon sisters" — a trade slightly more desirable, apparently, than walking the street or servicing migrant workers at construction sites. The copious detail with which officials characterized sex work establishments betrays more than passing knowledge of the trade. And yet the list also suggests a certain innocence — a pragmatic approach to sex in a culture where it has been intermittently criminalized but not indelibly branded as immoral, a culture that will never have the same tortured relationship to contraception, or gay sex, or sexual fantasy that we do in the United States. May no one ever again evoke China's sexual landscape and the Summer of Love in the same breath.

| China’s Positive Spin on Africa Posted: 19 Dec 2012 10:39 PM PST Last week, the English-language China Daily newspaper launched its Africa edition in order to break a perceived western monopoly in Africa-related journalism. From Harry Verhoeven and Iginio Gagliardone at CNN: As was highlighted at a recent conference at Oxford University, Chinese news media are seeking to compete with players such as CNN and Al Jazeera, but they are rolling out what they claim is a different approach to journalism. What Chinese media are offering to Africa is "positive reporting," a style of journalism that focuses on collective achievements rather than divisive issues like political crises or sensational negative news like famines. [...] The Africa of today, while still consumed by many intractable problems, is no longer the Africa of the 1990s: Millions of Africans are seizing on unprecedented opportunities to build new lives. This optimistic message about Africa turning a corner has faced criticism on different fronts. One of the most pertinent charges is that "positive reporting" fails to deliver on one of the main mandates of journalism: acting as a watchdog and keeping those in power in check, rather than praising them for their successes. [...] A major potential pitfall is that an equally stereotypical positive image will substitute a stereotypical negative image of Africa. There is a crowd of self-appointed experts of the continent who are reinventing clichés to stress Africa's untapped potential, when just a few years ago they were the propagators of a relentless Afro-pessimism.
As the article notes, China Central Television has also been moving into Africa. At Foreign Policy last month, Alex Pasternack examined the network's parallel efforts to gain a foothold in the United States. Observers have been divided over the effectiveness of this state media expansion. See also more on Sino-African relations via CDT.

| Ministry of Truth: The “Almighty God Cult” Posted: 19 Dec 2012 04:32 PM PST  "Only Almighty God can save humanity." The following example of censorship instructions, issued to the media and/or Internet companies by various central (and sometimes local) government authorities, has been leaked and distributed online. Chinese journalists and bloggers often refer to those 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 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. Central Propaganda Department: Discontinue reporting on recent public conversion assemblies and other illegal activities orchestrated by the Almighty God cult. Xinchang Launches Special Investigation of Evil Cult Source: Xinchang County [Zhejiang Province] Government Portal
Date: December 14, 2012
Visitors: 30 On December 13, Xinchang convened a meeting on the special investigation of the "Real God" cult. County Party Standing Committee member and Public Security Bureau Director Pan Yimin was present. Pan asks that all levels of authority unite their thinking, raise awareness, stress key points, and devote utmost attention to looking out for the "Real God" cult. Realistically grasp the organizational characteristics, management targets, re-education, and guidance of [key members of] the evil cult. Complete tasks to standard, organize safeguards to standard, and coordinate government departments, villages, and town (streets) to standard. Practically create a joint workforce. Effectively stymie the momentum of the evil cult's public conversion activities. Guarantee the political and social harmony and stability of the entire county. During the meeting, county Politics and Law Commission Vice-Secretary Yang Zhuodong expounded on the harmfulness and present severity of "Real God" and other evil cults, setting forth prevention and control work for the current period of time. County Political Commissar Qiu Guoting introduced the origins and characteristics of the "Real God" cult, putting forth the specific plan for its investigation and management. According to our understanding, "Real God" is also known as "Eastern Lightning." Cult members call it "Almighty God." This group creates an atmosphere of social panic by spreading rumors and propagating false claims and heresies, such as the apocalypse. The cult seriously endangers social stability. It is essentially an anti-social, misanthropic, perverse religious sect. Recently its activities have become rather common in certain villages and towns in Xinchang, particularly in remoter areas. It has an evil influence; the need to crack down and bring it under control is acute. All levels of the government are to alert the masses to awaken to the nature of the "Real God" cult, such that they do not fall prey to the faith. When propaganda materials or individuals from this evil cult are discovered, please report this immediately to the local police station or call the police by dialing 110.

| How to Fight China’s Corruption Cancer Posted: 19 Dec 2012 02:47 PM PST An editorial at Caixin welcomes Beijing's new emphasis on battling corruption, but argues that these efforts are doomed without effective rule of law. The introduction of a sunshine law enjoys wide public approval, and would be a major step forward in the fight against corruption. The government must put it on the legislative agenda of the next National People's Congress. Corruption is an outcome of the unholy mix of power and money. The proper exercise of power is the key to curbing corruption. In a society governed by the rule of law, a gain in political power does not – and should not – come with a gain in wealth. But that is not how it is in China; power and money have become inextricably linked in its bureaucratic culture. The challenge is daunting. But China can start with the basics. First, it must eradicate the conditions that breed corruption. This means improving its market and legal systems through comprehensive reform, to facilitate the transformation into a modern nation. This means abiding by the rule of law, and instituting a system that effectively targets corruption. This includes the features of a sunshine law, robust public and media scrutiny and an independent judiciary. […] China today is grappling with complex issues, but the problem at heart is quite simple. The fight against corruption depends on the rule of law. Without it, it's all empty talk.

| The Song of Song: Death of a Revolutionary Posted: 19 Dec 2012 02:41 PM PST In a Christmas special at The Economist, Gady Epstein explores China's brush with democracy a hundred years ago, and the single shot that may have ended it. AT 10.40pm on March 20th 1913 a young man who represented one possible future for China stood on the platform at Shanghai railway station, waiting with friends to board a train to Beijing. Song Jiaoren—30 years old, sporting a Western suit and a wisp of a moustache—had just brilliantly led his new political party, the Nationalists, to overwhelming success in parliamentary elections, the country's first attempt at democracy after two millennia of imperial rule. He was in line to become China's first democratically elected prime minister, and to help draft a new constitution for the Republic of China. […] But an assassin's bullet prevented him from trying. Armed with a Browning revolver, an unemployed ex-soldier in black military garb fired a single slug into his back and fled. Song was taken to a nearby hospital, where a bullet was removed from his abdomen. He knew death was near, and in the last political act of his life he dictated a telegram to his chief adversary, President Yuan Shikai […]: "I die with deep regret. I humbly hope that your Excellency will champion honesty, propagate justice, and promote democracy…" Song died on March 22nd. China's best chance of democracy may have died with him. […] But what if Song had lived? How close did China come to forging a democracy 100 years ago? Was Song's dream of a liberal revolution doomed? How far did an assassin's bullet change China's destiny—just as the killing of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo soon afterwards changed Europe's? See more from The Economist's special double issue at Economist.com.

| Word of the Week: National Treasure Posted: 19 Dec 2012 12:29 PM PST Editor's Note: The Word of the Week comes from China Digital Space's Grass-Mud Horse Lexicon, a glossary of terms created by Chinese netizens and frequently encountered in online political discussions. These are the words of China's online "resistance discourse," used to mock and subvert the official language around censorship and political correctness.  If you are interested in participating in this project by submitting and/or translating terms, please contact the CDT editors at CDT [at] chinadigitaltimes [dot] net.
国宝 (guóbǎo): national treasure In online political discourse, "national treasure" is a code word for the homonym 国保, is an abbreviation for the Domestic Security Department (国内安全保卫支队, DSD). The DSD is a branch of the police force within the Ministry of Public Security specializing in intelligence, infiltration, and dealing with political dissidents, human rights activists, petitioners, religious groups, as well as "subversive" activities in the cultural, educational, and economic domains. It is a massive, secretive, and omnipotent security apparatus within the giant police machine of the P.R.C. Sometimes "panda" (熊猫 xióngmāo) is used as a code word for the DSD, since the panda is China's national treasure.

| The Real Danger in China’s Mines Posted: 19 Dec 2012 12:09 PM PST Along with the high accident rate in coal mine operation, the hidden danger of lung-related disease is making coal mining in China a deadly profession. From C. Custer, L. Li and Jonathan Silin at 2non: Hao, who asked that he be identified only by his surname, is a coal miner in Hegang, a mining town in northeastern Heilongjiang province. Like many of the miners in Hegang, Hao is employed at small bituminous coal mine by one of the dozens of private mining companies that operate the area's hundred or so mines. His mine employs a few hundred people, most of whom — like Mr. Hao — work below the surface. [...S]tudies have shown bituminous coal dust to be remarkably carcinogenic. A 2012 study of homes in Xuanwei, China, found that people whose households cooked with bituminous coal are far more likely to develop lung cancer (18-20% likely) than those who did not (0.5% likely). Men are 36 times more likely to die of lung cancer if they lived in homes that cooked with bituminous coal; women are 99 times more likely. Unsurprisingly, these results are also apparent in miners; a 2011 study of coal miners in Xuanwei found that coal miners also are at increased risk of lung cancer, and that the younger a miner starts and the longer he stays in the mines, the more likely he is to develop cancer. Specific rates varied based on subjects' family histories and exposure to carcinogens outside of work, but in general, coal miners were found to be at least twice as likely to develop lung cancer as regular citizens, and in some instances the increase in risk for miners was even higher. [...] The soot also gets in his lungs, of course, and with thirty years of mining already under his belt, Mr. Hao — who has not been screened — has a high risk of developing lung cancer even if he never sets foot in a coal mine again. He knows coal mining is a deadly profession, and is grateful to have made it this far without any major accidents. But though the number of deadly accidents is dropping, cancer risk rates climb with each successive year a miner works. Many miners who escape being buried alive or killed in explosions will ultimately still fall victim to coal mining's slowest and quietest danger: lung cancer. When a miner gets cancer, or even gets injured on the job, results can vary. Mr. Hao tells us smaller mining companies don't provide mine workers with insurance, or even regular contracts, so if you get sick, whether or not you'll get financial help with your medical bills from the company is very much up for grabs. In his experience, Hao tells us, the people who get larger compensation settlements tend to be the people capable of making a fuss and causing trouble for the company if their demands aren't met. If you and your family members can't raise a stink, he says, you'll get less money.

| Ministry of Truth: Less Bad Reporting on Liquor Posted: 19 Dec 2012 09:21 AM PST  Moutai in a Beijing shopping mall. (Stephen Shaver/Bloomberg News) The following example of censorship instructions, issued to the media and/or Internet companies by various central (and sometimes local) government authorities, has been leaked and distributed online. Chinese journalists and bloggers often refer to those 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.

The original publication date 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. Central Propaganda Department: With regards to negative news on the baijiu industry, all media are to discontinue production of all reports and commentary except for that which strictly adheres to Xinhua wire copy and information issued by authoritative bureaus, and which also downplays the issue. (December 18, 2012) 中宣部：对涉白酒行业的负面报道，除严格按新华社通稿和权威部门发布的信息刊播并淡化处理外，各媒体不再自行作其它报道评论。
Baijiu is a grain alcohol typically distilled from sorghum. This directive most likely refers to the recent news that industrial plasticizers were found in Kweichow Moutai brand baijiu. The state-owned company's stock rose 1.8% on December 11 after publicly stating that its product meets government standards, but then fell again after Peking University professor Li Tongji claimed at a Moutai press conference that the human body has ways of "detoxing."
