It’s much easier to imagine the past in black and white, for it makes our present-day colors somehow more meaningful, proving that the era we occupy is indeed the most technologically and civically advanced. But what’s most stunning about seeing the past in color here — in these photographs taken by the Flying Tigers, members... Read more »
Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan, yet unmarried, were going for a stroll in Shanghai on March 27 when they accidentally walked in front of China Central Television cameras filming the fourth episode of a documentary called Chinese Police, according to a post on Sina Weibo translated on chinaSMACK. “By coincidence the subtitle that followed said ‘Many...

Students in Chengdu who are “on a ‘kill’ mission for illegally parked vehicles at the West China Second Affiliated Hospital of Sichuan University,” according to Want China Times. Happy Memorial Day for those in the US. We’ll have a relevant post about that soon, after links.
You should stop whatever you’re doing and go read this. I’ve copied and pasted all the text to a notepad and saved it on my Desktop. I feel like I have just bottled a rainbow for a rainy day. This man, Yoichi Shimatsu, is possibly the funniest columnist on the face of the earth, and... Read more »
We've reached out to the guys who shot the video -- Canadians from WorldstarHipHop, as they make abundantly clear in the video -- to see if we can get more info. It's a nasty fight, if one can call it that, with a clear survivor. There are no winners.

See update below. The news hook is in the title, but you should know it’s a sham. Although Sexy Mandarin really now is Spicy Mandarin (which just created a Facebook page like five hours ago), I just needed an excuse to post the above video, slightly NSFW, which reminds me of Xiao Li. I’m still... Read more »
So… Confucius, huh?
What a douche.
Just kidding. We’re cool, dog. *imaginary 4th Century BC fist bump*
But the Confucius Institute has been at the center of a Chinese editorial free-for-all for a good part of the week. So who is the party-line hate focused at this week? Dalai Lama? Rabiya Kadeer? Democracy? Ai Weiwei? Free Press? Foreigners? Hollywood? The Internet?
Only two weeks ago, a reckless Chinese driver in Singapore plowed into a side of a taxi, killing both cab passengers and himself (GIF credit: Alicia). We now have more of the same. (And in case you needed a reminder — there’s a lot of the same.) On Shenzhen’s Binghai Road on Saturday around midnight, a... Read more »
