There really isn't any info about this video except the timestamp in the dashboard cam (September 1, around noon), and the car that flips over appears to be a Honda. The 56.com video (embedded after the jump, and in higher quality than the YouTube embed) delights in that fact. "Tailgating Japanese car causes rollover accident," reads the title. If that was a Chinese-manufactured car, say a BYD, it totally wouldn't have flipped, or exploded.
Jeremy Lin was in Taiwan on Saturday for the debut of his first TV commercial, a low-budget production (hey, gotta start somewhere) in which he delivers this line:
“No one expected me to be a starter, take game winning shots, or even play in this league. Well, I’m not here to live up to anyone’s expectations, I’m here to live up to mine.”
If you're aiming to fake an injury by jumping in front of a car, make sure the target vehicle doesn't employ a dashboard cam. In Kaohsiung, Taiwan on Friday, a pedestrian flung himself -- in slow motion -- onto the hood of a car, then rolled off and laid on the ground waiting for someone to hand him a bag of gold.

We don't know whether he actually was one or not, but the driver then appears to point at his dashboard camera, which has recorded all this for posterity and the Internet. Ah, the Internet. Thank goodness for it. And this. And dashboard cams.
Three foreigners walked into a cell phone store in Anyang, Henan province around 5 pm on August 29, described by one store employee in the video as having "really high noses" and "yellow eyes" (not a translation mistake -- we have no idea what she means). Apparently one of them took out loose bills and asked to exchange for a one-hundred-yuan note. He insisted -- with gestures and such, because he either didn't know or pretended not to know Chinese -- the cashier give him a bill that had "two S'es" on it. He kept writing the letter S.
In the predawn hours of March 18, a black Ferrari 458 Spider carrying three passengers crashed into a metal guardrail under Baofusi Bridge on Fourth Ring Road. The driver, a male in his 20s, died at the scene. Two other passengers somehow survived. The driver was identified only by his surname — Jia. It’s a... Read more »
As fall semesters begin to kick into gear, here’s a reminder that not all new students are happy where they are. Last Thursday in Guangzhou, four female students publicly got their heads shaved to protest sexist college admission practices, part of continuing controversy over lower test-score requirements for boys vs. girls.
This is slightly dated, from July 31, but worth sharing anyway. The setup: a father in Kunming takes his feverish son to the hospital to get an IV drip, only to be told twice that the nurses’ attempts were unsuccessful. Infuriated, the father berates the nurses while the small child is carried by his grandmother.... Read more »
