We hope this isn’t a trend. On October 10, just east of the community health center in a courtyard in Beijing’s Daxing District, according to Sohu, two rings were set up to stage a day of dogfighting. Hundreds of onlookers and dozens of gamblers were ringside, and up to 20,000 200,000 yuan’s worth of bets were... Read more »
Uh oh, there’s that word again: vulgar. As reported by Hong Kong Daily News via Xinhua, a set of chairs that recently appeared in Suzhou, Jiangsu province’s Jinji (Golden Chicken) Lakeside has attracted controversy.

Here we are, having a serious afternoon discussion about assault and kidnapping, and who but Uncle Xinhua bursts into the living room with pants around his ankles, hair all fussed, a white bottle of gin in one hand and a burgundy bottle of rum in the other, shouting with a breath that stinks of hangover, “GUESS...

We love ourselves a good zinger. Via China Digital Times’s “NetEase News Calls Out Global Times,” we’re introduced to the image of the fleabane, which CDT explains is “known as qiangtoucao (墙头草) or ‘wall-top grass’ in Chinese. Qiangtoucao also means ‘fence-sitter,’ someone who bends to the prevailing political or social winds to stay rooted.” Who could that possibly be applied... Read more »
I don’t know, it could be that our “American friend,” named Jared, is a total asshole. But he sure looks friendly. Look at him assisting the old lady with a cane.

Around dawn yesterday in Wenling, Zhejiang province, a factory belonging to Wanjia Shoe Company erupted into flames, according to Sohu (more pictures after the jump).

More than five... Read more »
