Southern Metropolis Daily has the story of a baby found in the squat toilet of a Dongguan shoe factory yesterday (that hurt to write). The picture you see above comes from The Nanfang, which tells us: Police immediately began an investigation to locate the child’s mother. Officers from Liaobu Hengkeng Police Station searched the factory’s... Read more »
One of my pet peeves is people, Asian or otherwise, pretending to be offended when someone intentionally or unintentionally uses the word chink in a totally non-racial context.

Harbin Train Station, August 26. Not much more information is given on this video posted earlier this week, but the uniformed man appears to be a chengguan -- urban management officer -- and we're told the old man is a beggar.

(The sound effects are the newscast's.)
Last Friday in Shenzhen, someone snapped pictures of this policewoman cutting the nails of an old man on the street, and a few days later the images found their way to Sina Weibo, where they quickly began to circulate because acts of common decency, especially by cops, rarely get the play they deserve. The officer had... Read more »
A show on CCTV-13 recently aired a segment from the Zhejiang Traffic Bureau that was essentially a morbid seat belt PSA. We've seen these type of public service announcements before -- there was this GIF from the Shanghai Highway Patrol in July warning people to take care of their tires -- and like always, questions of their efficacy take a backseat to the shocking footage itself.
