More than 100 university students in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province paired up as couples for a week in an activity aiming to help strengthen their relationships with the opposite sex, media reported Sunday.

The week-long activity, held by the student union at Southeast University's College of Civil Engineering, saw 50 pairs of young men and women that would earn points for posting photos with their partner online doing couple-like things, such as sharing a drink with one straw and hugging.

The couples were also encouraged to post photos of themselves exchanging kisses through plate glass.

"We hope all students, male or female, can find happiness and the courage to pursue love," said Gao Yuqin, a co-initiator of the activity.

Some said they hoped to continue their relationships.

Couple stand trial for selling imported cancer medication

By Cao Siqi Source: Global Times Published: 2014-11-11 1:03:01

A couple in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province recently stood trial for selling fake cancer medication bought in India, according to a court in Nanjing on Monday.

Zhou Rongqiang, the court's judge, told the Global Times on Monday that the couple, Zhao Hongjiang and his wife, Ma Yalin, were accused of purchasing medicines from India, transporting them to China, and selling them online.

Indian-made generic cancer drugs, often containing the same active ingredients as the patented medicines they are based on, sell at enormous discount compared with their patented counterparts.

However, the vast majority of these drugs are not approved for sale in China. "Selling medicines produced overseas requires a certification by China's drug watchdog. If not, the drugs are seen as fake," said Zhou.

In the court, Zhao said that he was trying to save people's lives, and that most of the drugs were brought for his friends instead of for sale, reported Nanjing-based Modern Express Monday.

Zhou said that Zhao was sent to work in India in 2010, where he would often buy cancer medication for friends. Smelling a business opportunity, Zhao found local pharmaceutical agents willing to sell him drugs at marked-down prices, and asked the agents to mail them to China.

"They sold the medicines for over 320,000 yuan ($52,000) and made 100,000 yuan in profit," said Zhou.

Local police arrested the couple in their house on July 4 after receiving a tip-off, discovering 31 boxes of generic drugs imported from India.

The local procuratorate said that the medicine was not registered, and that in selling them Zhao and Ma broke the law, an offense punishable by a fine and up to three years in jail. Prosecutors on the case have requested sentences of a year and a half for both Zhao and Ma, with the possibility of reprieve. The court has yet to rule on the case.

Another cadre found with huge hoard of yuan, and gold, this time in Hebei

Hebei official found with 100m yuan and 37kg gold at home, and keys to 68 properties, months after 200m yuan seized at coal official’s home

A corrupt official in Hebei province kept more than 100 million yuan (HK$126 million) in cash and 37kg of gold in his flat, and had amassed a portfolio of 68 properties by the time graft-busters caught up with him.

The case of the unnamed official and more than 230 others in the province - many of whom also stashed huge sums of ill-gotten wealth in their homes - underscored the seriousness of corruption at the local level, Xinhua reported, without giving further details.

Many lower-level officials had taken large bribes, including the head of one traffic police unit who took more than 10 million yuan, and the director of a land and resources bureau who had more than 10 million yuan in assets that he could not account for.

The director of a social security bureau also lost 20 million yuan of bureau funds through dereliction of duty, Xinhua said.

Higher-ranking cadres being investigated for disciplinary violations - a term that usually refers to graft - include Liu Xueku , a former standing committee member of the provincial people's congress; Liang Shulin, the former deputy chairman of the provincial legal affairs commission; and Zhang Liande, the former head of the Hebei branch of China Mobile.

The provincial government vowed to step up its anti-corruption drive, in particular against officials responsible for land, urban construction, and state-owned enterprises and assets.

Authorities launched their massive anti-graft drive two years ago when President Xi Jinping became general secretary of the Communist Party. Xi said at the time that corruption was rampant and threatened the party's survival.

Xi's drive for party purity has netted some the nation's most powerful officials.

Retired general Xu Caihou , a former vice-chairman of the powerful Central Military Commission, was expelled from the party at the end of June in a bribes-for-promotions scandal.

A month later, the party announced that former national security tsar and Politburo Standing Committee member Zhou Yongkang was under investigation for violations of party discipline.

In April, investigators found some 200 million yuan in local and foreign currency at the home of Wei Pengyuan , deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission's coal department.

Abandoned: Heartbreaking pictures of parents leaving their children in China’s notorious 'baby hatches'

They are truly heartbreaking scenes. The moments of despair as parents cling to their children for one last time before abandoning them in China's so-called baby hatches.

A father kisses his child, her face hidden in a blanket. A mother holds her hooded baby as their shadows are cast upon the last door they will pass through together. Another collapses to the ground, reaching out to touch her son for the last time.

They are the final moments of lives torn apart, often by poverty or an inability to cope with disease or disability.

“My baby cannot take care of itself when it grows up,” one woman cries, explaining that her infant has Down’s syndrome. ‘I just want my baby to survive,” she tells the Information Times newspaper based in Guangzhou. She and an accompanying female friend leave, both in tears.

An uncle leaves his niece. She is suffering from leukaemia and her parents cannot afford her medical bills.

Her parents, he says, are waiting in a car nearby, unable to face saying goodbye to their own daughter. As he walks away the girl starts to cry.

And still they come.

A father and son hide behind surgical masks, with caps pulled down over their faces. They have travelled for more than an hour to the Guangzhou facility.

“It would be better for the baby if he stays in your centre,” the elder man tells security. “We cannot afford to raise him.” They leave a note and several hundred yuan before disappearing into the night.

There are about 25 such hatch facilities in mainland China, spanning 10 provinces and major cities.

Pioneered in Shijiazhuang in Hebei province more than two years ago, they have drawn heated debate, especially since the Ministry of Civil Affairs decided to expand the project nationwide before the end of 2015.

A parent typically opens a door and places their infant in a small room, rings a bell and leaves. Minutes later welfare services collect the child and begin the task of finding it a new home, most likely in an orphanage.

The hatches are supposed to provide a safety net to ensure parents do not simply leave their unwanted offspring on the streets or dump them at hospitals, although critics argue they encourage drastic action.

In Guangzhou a baby hatch opened on January 28. It was forced to shut its doors after less than two months as staff were overwhelmed with 262 abandoned youngsters.

All were ill or disabled. Almost half had cerebral palsy, 15 per cent Down’s syndrome and 12 per cent were suffering congenital heart disease. Almost one in 10 died.

After the doors closed Xu Jiu, director of the city’s welfare centre for children that runs the facility, was forced to warn parents that anyone abandoning their children while the centre was shut would be reported to police and face prosecution.

At the centre a man dressed in black carries his four-year-old to the door. He is stopped by security guards who tell him the child is too old for the facility.

“But no one will take my child. The doctor said [s/he] could never be cured.”

He sits outside for 10 minutes. Then they leave together.

Student attacks professor with boiling water

Shanghai Daily, November 14, 2014

Police are investigating a law student who allegedly threw boiling water on a professor who had criticized her for coming late to the class.

Jiang Jiyue suffered second-degree burns on the left side of his face.

The student, surnamed Wang, threw hot water at Professor Jiang Jiyue on the face and neck about 10am on Tuesday at the Songjiang campus of East China University of Political Science and Law.

Jiang, who is in his 50s, suffered second-degree burns on the face and back. The university issued a statement last night, saying Jiang would not be able to take classes for at least a year.

Wang, who is a senior student at the law school, has not been detained as yet.

There were about 60 students in the class. A student witness, who declined to give his name, said Wang was late for the class. She told Jiang she was preparing for her graduate entrance exams at the library and missed the time.

Jiang reportedly remarked that she would not get through the exams if she was late like this, the student said, adding that Jiang said it in jest.

"The professor meant it as a joke," the witness said.

But during a break in class, Wang took Jiang's water bottle, went out and filled it with boiling water. She splashed it on his face as horrified students watched.

Jiang told thepaper.cn that he tried to get away when she threw the water but wasn't quick. He washed his face but still got blisters on the face and neck.

Jiang said he did not expect his student to react the way she did.

"I did not criticize her in a serious way. I said how will you pass the graduate examination when you can't even figure out the time for your class?

"Then during the break, she took my bottle and I thought she was being nice and regretted her action. I was touched for a moment and said thank you.

"Just before the class resumed, she approached me and I went to take the bottle. The bottle was not covered. She threw the hot water all of a sudden at me," Jiang told the website.

Ou Ya, a publicity official at the university, said Wang's parents had been informed after police took over the case. "As an adult, she has to bear the social and legal consequences," Ou said.

Police probe after student beaten, stripped naked

Shanghai Daily, November 13, 2014

Police in central China's Hunan Province have launched a probe into reports that 15 girl students severely beat up a classmate and took nude pictures of her.

Sanxiang City Express reported that the 16-year-old victim, nicknamed Xiaomeng, joined the Hunan Industry Trade School, a technical secondary school in the provincial capital Changsha, in September.

On November 6, the girl had an argument with the deputy class monitor, nicknamed Xiaoao, over cleaning the classroom. Xiaomeng told the paper that in the evening, Xiaoao asked 14 other girls to beat her up in the dorm.

"Some of them threatened me with scissors. All of them slapped me and then hit my head against the wall. They beat me up and kicked me. I was tortured until 1am the next day," she said, adding that five of her six roommates turned a blind eye to the brutality while one of them joined the beating.

Xiaomeng did not say anything to her parents or to the school administrators the next day but it was not good enough to lessen Xiaoao's anger, the paper reported.

Around noon on November 7, the 15 girls broke into her dorm and beat her up again. They then stripped her naked and took nude pictures of her in the hope she would not complain to either her parents or her teachers, Xiaomeng said.

Bruised and in severe pain, Xiaomeng called her dorm teacher and her parents but the teacher did not take the matter seriously after a CT scan report suggested she was fine, the paper said.

Fearing that she would be beaten up again, Xiaomeng did not go back to the school or to her dorm but stayed in a hotel. Her parents rushed from Shaoyang in Hunan to Changsha on November 10. She was then diagnosed with ruptured eardrums and renal contusion.

The newspaper reported finding bruises on Xiaomeng's face, back and legs. She also hobbled in pain. The school said police were investigating. The girls admitted beating her up and taking pictures, which have since been deleted.

Xiaomeng is not keen on going back to the school and her parents are looking to move her in another school, the paper said.

Japanese police have arrested two Chinese women suspected of being members of a gang that distracts drunken men by kissing them, then robs them.

The ANN News channel reported that one of the women would kiss the unsuspecting men as they used an ATM machine, while her accomplice rifled through his wallet or used his bank card.

The two women have not been named and are only identified as being from China and aged 27 and 30.

They are believed to be part of a criminal group that has taken advantage of more than 850 men in and around Tokyo since 2012, getting away with some 300 million yen (HK$20.1 million).

The two suspects were shown on television news covering their faces as they were escorted into police vehicles.

Police are now questioning the women about a case dating from June in which one of them allegedly approached a 49-year-old office worker as he used an ATM in a convenience store in Tokyo's Ueno district.

While the suspect kissed the befuddled victim, her colleague allegedly stole 200,000 yen that he had just withdrawn from the machine.

A further one million yen was taken in a series of withdrawals from a different convenience store from the same man's account later in the day, national broadcaster NHK reported.

The victim has told police that he has no recollection of the money being taken as he had been drinking heavily before the women approached him.

Two sentenced in China for profiting from helping rumormonger

Source: Xinhua Published: 2014-11-14 22:16:39

Two men were sentenced on Friday for profiting financially from the spreading of rumors online, confirmed local authorities.

Wu Jun, formerly a video editor for China's portal website Sina.com, and Zhao Yuke, corporate representative from Tongke Chuangshi Culture and Media Co. Ltd., were handed jail terms of 18 and 16 months respectively by the People's Court of Chaoyang District in Beijing.

The court heard that Wu received 50,100 yuan (about 8,179 US dollars) from Erma Co. and its subsidiary between November 2010 and August 2013, in return for helping them to upload and spread videos on Sina.com.

Wu's family returned the money after his arrest.

Zhao was found to have taken more than 70,000 yuan from Erma for deleting posts between October 2010 and August 2013. He was also fined 10,000 yuan.

Both men agreed not to appeal the sentencing.

The case drew attention in China after Yang Xiuyu, a rumormonger who used the screen name "Lierchaisi", stood trial in August.

Yang, 41, founder of Erma Co., was accused of posting fabricated information online to lure followers and earn money. Erma made more than 530,000 yuan between 2008 and 2013 by posting false information and deleting critical posts.

Yang's former employee Qin Zhihui, known as "Qinhuohuo" online, confessed to spreading rumors about Chinese celebrities and the government during his trial in April.

Qin was the first person to appear on rumormongering charges since the Ministry of Public Security decided to target those who spread online rumors last August.

Shredded stockings found in packs of marinated eggs in Shandong

A Shandong resident discovered to her horror that five marinated eggs, or "Xiangbalao eggs," that she had bought for her child to eat turned out to contain pieces of a pair of stockings, reported Beijing-based newspaper The Mirror.

The food producer is reported to have dismissed the customer's complaint, stating that the incident is "normal."

The woman, a resident of the prefectural city of Linyi, said she bought five marinated eggs from a local supermarket home for her child.

The eggs, marinated in Chinese herbs, are a popular snack in China and are sold for 1 yuan (US$ 0.16) a piece.

Her child said the eggs "were too hard to chew on," however, and left them uneaten. She later discovered that the vacuum-packed eggs she bought were pieces of a pair of stockings.

"It was gross," said Guo to the press. "I would have thrown up on the spot if I was the one chewing on it."

The vacuum-packed marinated eggs were made by a food manufacturer in Xuzhou, Jiangsu province and were stamped with a guaranteed quality safety mark, which means the product has passed official inspections.

The woman informed the supermarket of the incident and the product was removed from shelves in the store.

According to the supermarket manager, the food manufacturer responded quite passively to the complaint. "At first they [food factory representatives] said they would compensate the buyer with 10 eggs. Later they added that they would pay her 500 yuan (US$81) to compensate her for her loss," he said.

The owner of the food company told a local press reporter that he is willing to compensate the woman, but claimed that this kind of incident is the norm in food factories.

The owner said they are investigating the issue. The woman has insisted, however, that the food maker apologize to her family in person.

A man in Fuzhou, Fujian province, managed to buy 20,000 yuan's worth (US$3,200) of goods on the internet using his feet, after his wife tied his hands up to stop him from spending the lion's share of their disposable income during the Singles' Day shopping event on Nov. 11, reports local news website Fjsen.

The photo of the man posted by a Chinese internet user going under the handle "Hanxing Lengyue," shows a man's foot on a mouse besides a computer monitor, which displays 20,953 yuan-worth of purchases on an online store. The caption reads "Hahaha, honey you are too naive to think that by tying me up, you can splash more cash than me? You can't stop me!"

The husband, surnamed Ye, has been dubbed "the biggest feet in the online shopping world" by Chinese internet users. Many of them suggesting that his wife tie up both his hands and feet as well as gagging him next year. Other internet users smelled a rat, however, questioning how he took the picture while his hands were tied up.

The man said his wife photographed him using his feet to shop. Just before the shopping festival started, Ye was tied up by his wife, so that she could use the lion's share of their disposable income on her purchases, but Ye apparently took off his slippers and placed orders with his feet. He said he pretty annoyed by the fact that he could buy as much as he wanted because his feet were not as adept as his hands.

Ye said he never thought his wife would resort to the measure and joked that the shopping festival can turn lovers into enemies.

A 39-year-old man in Ningbo city in Zhejiang province has been detained for abusing drugs and giving police false information by pretending to be a woman for 20 years, the Qiangjiang Evening News reported.

Local policemen raided an apartment on Thursday and detained two people, one of whom told them he was female.

But policemen learned after examing the person’s identification card that he was a man from Zhoushan, another city in Zhejiang province, who had pretended to be a woman and working at a local factory for two decades, fooling his boss and co-workers about his sex.

According to the man’s boss, the person surnamed Jiang appeared to be a shy and quiet teenage girl when he came to apply for a job 20 years ago. The boss said that everyone at the factory assumed the man was a woman as she said she was, because she looked and sounded like one.

He said he always thought the person might be hiding his true identity, but did not want to pry as that was a private matter. “But she’s hard-working, gentle and quiet. So I never ask for her [identification card],” the boss was quoted as saying.

The man told the police he had wanted to be a woman since he was a child and had a strong fascination with the female characters of local Yueju Opera.

When he was 18, he decided to leave Zhoushan and pose as a woman in Ningbo where no one would know his secret.

He said he would wears skirts, put on lipstick and go by the name of Lina. To keep the secret, he would never use the toilet at the factory and seldom hung out with friends after work.

He told police he would dress as a man again when returning to his hometown to see his parents.

Sexologist to soldier on after feces-flinging fracas

China Daily, November 15, 2014

An ugly incident last week at a sex culture expo in Guangzhou has triggered a debate over traditional attitudes about the once-taboo subject, the Chutian Metropolis Daily reported on Friday.

Since the November 7 confrontation, in which a middle-aged woman threw a bag of feces over the controversial sexologist Peng Xiaohui, the majority of Internet users involved in the discussion have offered support to the victim. In response, Peng Xiaohui, a sexology professor with Central China Normal University, said he intends to continue with his research and to further promote sexual awareness. For decades, Peng has been one of the most active sexologists in China, with views regarded as bold and provocative.

At Peng's lecture, the middle-aged assailant cried out "You are a professor with no morality." Several other people carried signs reading "Stop poisoning Chinese people's minds!" and "You did a great job instigating many teenagers to become homosexual."

The protesters were soon asked to leave by the security staff.

After the incident, one of Peng's students said: "There's no inappropriate or obscene content in the class. It's all scientific knowledge about sexology. Any adult could learn from it."

Many Internet commentators, even those who support Peng's work, still believe it is inappropriate to talk about sex in public.

Although Chinese people have been considered conservative when it comes to sex, values have shifted greatly in recent years. Psychosexual therapist Ma Li said Chinese people now have a more active attitude to sex.

Sex culture expos, which include lectures, sex equipment displays, lingerie shows and booths sponsored by adult entertainment companies, have became an avenue for people in China to explore this once-unspeakable world.

Not everyone has taken to the expos. At an exhibition in Xi'an this year, protesters grabbed the microphone to urge a boycott against the event, saying "it's corrupting public morality."

Police bust gangs selling women into sex slavery

Source: Global Times Published: 2014-11-20 0:23:01

Police in Dingyuan county, East China's Anhui Province recently cracked down on two gangs who abducted women and sold them as sex slaves at prices ranging from 10,000 yuan ($1,634) to 20,000 yuan.

Police said that they have rescued four victims in October and captured seven suspects including one gang's ringleaders surnamed Kong and Zhang, reported Anhui Business Daily on Tuesday.

Members of the two gangs lured women from cities such as Nanjing, Chuzhou, Hefei, and Bengbu and transferred them to an agent surnamed Yan, said the police.

Yan trapped the abducted women in a special-made "cell" with no window except for a narrow door and two palm-sized holes on the side walls, reported the Hefei-based news portal anhuinews.com.

At least ten women from Anhui and nearby Jiangsu Province have fallen victims to the gangs over the past five years, according to the police.

"Women who appeared in railway stations alone were more likely to be targets," said the police.

A gang member surnamed Zhang confessed that to better control the abducted women, they would keep at most three women in one room, and "it was impossible [for them] to escape."

Many victims said that if they tried to escape, they were beaten savagely.

When the traffickers prepared to sell one of the women, they took them outside for a walk to show they had no physical disabilities.

"After I was sold to someone, the buyer also beat up and sexually assaulted me," said one victim named Xiao Qin (pseudonym).

Police said that a call from a woman in August, who said that she was abducted to Dingyuan and sold to a father and a son, led them to the gangs.

Through the father and son's confession, police arrested Yan, finding papers in his house on which were written buyers' numbers, sales contracts and letters of guarantee.

Many buyers returned the women, saying the "goods" were faulty on account of mental issues suffered by some victims.

To help guard against this outcome, Yan decided to sign a contract with buyers in advance.

"We guarantee the buyers the women they brought were not sterilized or married. We are not responsible for other things," read a letter on March 18 with the amount of 16,000 yuan.

The women abducted were sold at different prices based on their ages and appearance.

Police said the ringleaders made deals with accomplices whereby "the one who lured the women took the most money."

一天组织了三次考试，每次都是1200名学生同时坐在室外考试，每场考试动用监考老师80名，甚至还用上了望远镜、人字梯、高清摄像头、扩音喇叭等装备。这样壮观的考试场面，11月13日，就发生在位于宝鸡一所专修学院。

华商报记者赶到了帖子中所说的学院。 “是真的，13号才考过。”在校园里，一名护理专业的杨姓同学说，他们学校确实组织了这次考试，一天内共考过三场，每次都是上千学生同时考试。

该学院教务主任李兰说，而之所以组织这么宏大场面的考试，有两个目的：一是通过震撼的场面，让学生感受到考试的严肃性;另外就是杜绝考试作弊。李兰说，他们学校的专业，毕业后都是包分配的，但每年各用人单位所需的名额却是固定的，那么如何分配就成了难题。为了确定挑选用人单位的“优先权”，或者让来学校的用人单位有个参考依据，他们便用毕业考试成绩的排名来决定顺序。所以，为了考试成绩的真实有效，也为了杜绝学生考试作弊，因此他们便将考场搬到了操场或校园广场。而这样的考试，他们已经组织了10年，每年春秋两季分别组织一次。返回腾讯网首页>>

Man robs wife of phone at knifepoint

Source: Global Times Published: 2014-11-16 22:28:01

A man in Beijing is being charged with stealing his wife's cell phone at knifepoint in a stocking mask because he suspected she was using it to send flirty text messages to another man, local media reported on Saturday.

The Fengtai district procuratorate charged the suspect, surnamed Chen, with committing armed robbery in November 2013.

Chen is accused of breaking into his wife's dormitory at work with women's stockings on his head and demanding that she write down her phone's screenlock code so he could access it.

Chen also robbed his wife's roommate so as "not to raise doubt as to their relationship," reported the Beijing Times.

However, his unnamed wife soon recognized Chen and convinced him to return the stolen goods and turn himself in to police, the newspaper said.

Chen claimed he had been trying to delete a contact on his wife's WeChat account since April last year, with whom Chen believed she was exchanging intimate messages, but he could not unlock her phone.

Chen explained his suspicions piqued last October, when his wife decided to quit her job in Beijing for another in Hangzhou, East China's Zhejiang Province.

Guangdong is the top target in China's nationwide drug crackdown

Province is mainland's biggest market for illicit narcotics and has largest population of addicts

Guangdong's booming illicit drug trade and addict population have made it a top target in a new nationwide police crackdown.

Guangdong and Shandong provinces each have 10 cities among the 108 covered by the crackdown from the Ministry of Public Security, the People's Daily online news portal reported yesterday, citing assistant minister Liu Yuejing.

The southern province is the mainland's biggest market for illicit drugs and has developed a clan-based industry for the manufacture of synthetic narcotics, especially Ice, or methamphetamine, some experts say.

It also has the biggest population of addicts, with about 457,000 people on a register of suspected users, according to the provincial public security department.

The total has been growing by about 40,000 people a year since 2009, the China News Service reported.

Li Xiaodong , executive member of the board of the China Association of Drug Abuse Prevention and Treatment, said one of the big issues was migrants from other parts of the country.

"Guangdong has the biggest migrant population in China. More than 60 per cent of drug users in Guangdong were from other provinces, according to our study in 2012," Li said. "There are many cases of Hong Kong people making the trip to Guangdong to use drugs."

Peng Peng , a researcher at the Guangzhou Academy of Social Sciences, said that unlike traditional drugs such as heroin and opium, most of which were imported, production of Ice had developed into a local industry.

Peng said several places in eastern Guangdong had become key manufacturing centres, churning out an estimated one-third of the country's local supplies in recent years. For example, three tonnes of Ice and 23 tonnes of raw materials were seized in a bust last year in Boshe, a village in Lufeng .

He said the industry was protected by local officials and drugs made in Guangdong were sold across the province and country.

"One or two campaigns will not be able to eliminate an industry in which so many local people make a living," Peng said.

The ministry said its six-month campaign, which started in September, would target drug production, trafficking and selling. By Tuesday, officers had arrested 23,959 suspects, confiscated 12.1 tonnes of drugs and investigated more than 100,000 users. The crackdown would be widened to cover online drug dealing and drug driving.

Inner Mongolia-based criminal lawyer Cao Chunfeng said that the national drug problem was serious.

"Port cities in Shandong are not major markets [for drug consumption], but they serve more as transport hubs for drugs supplying Mongolia, South Korea, Japan, as well as other Chinese cities," Cao said. "There's more risks and costs with transporting drugs over a long distance, creating huge commercial interest in manufacturing drugs locally."
