Or maybe shoppers are lining up for this season's hottest new item: Read more »
If you've been anywhere near WeChat or Weibo today (or China's corner of Twitter, for that matter), you've likely heard that a young man filmed himself having sex with a young woman in a fitting room in the Sanlitun branch of Uniqlo in Beijing recently. The video was uploaded to the Internet yesterday evening and has been making the rounds. It's out there. Someone was gonna post it. [...] Here it is. Read more »

There is little sign in this community of the dead that we're in the largest Chinese city in Central Asia. Read more »
