Shanghai Stampede Victims Mainly Young Women
China mourned the 36 dead, from a New Year’s Eve crush on Shanghai’s famed waterfront, on Friday, as the city government, revealed the victims, were mainly young women.
Around 100 people gathered, in front of a statue, of Shanghai’s first Communist mayor, Chen Yi, near the accident scene, some laying flowers in a government-approved show of mourning.
The youngest of the 32 fatalities identified so far, is a 12 year old boy, Mao Yongjie.
All but four of the dead, on a list released by the city government on Friday, were aged 25 or under,and 21 were female. The oldest fatality was 37.
The incident was Shanghai’s worst, since a fire in a high-rise residential building, killed 58 people, in 2010, and tarnished the commercial hub’s international reputation.

Recently, the trial of Bo Xilai, Chongqing's ex-Party chief,
has become the focus of global media coverage.
Meanwhile, Chen Xiaolu, the son of Chen Yi, the late
Chinese Communist Party (CCP) veteran, released a letter.
He apologized for what he did as a leader
in the Red Guards during the Cultural Revolution.
His letter has triggered a strong reaction among the public.
Chen Xiaolu was a Red Guards leader in Beijing's
No. 8 Middle School during the Cultural Revolution.
On August 19, the school's Weibo micro-blog
account posted a letter written by Chen.
In the letter, Chen describes the Cultural Revolution
as a "painful, frightening era".
He says that his "formal apology came too late".
"But we must make such an apology, in order to purify
the soul, for social progress and the nation's future."
"Without introspection, there can not be progress!"
China now sees heated issues emerging.
First the Bo Xilai trial, now the CCP's recent meeting
on propaganda work.
At the meeting, CCP leader Xi Jinping was insistent
upon "maintaining the survival of the Party".
Gao Yu, veteran media professional, says that
Chen Xiaolu's apology came just in time.
It is reminding the public to not forget the harm
that the Cultural Revolution brought to the whole nation.
Gao Yu: "Now the whole nation is forbidden to
talk about constitutionalism.
What the authorities advocate then——
isn't that creating rebellion?
Things like 'struggle sessions,' singing
revolutionary songs, and reading Mao's books,
all these are what made China a mess back then,
resulting in great losses and a turbulent era."
Born in 1946, Chen Xiaolu is the son of Chen Yi,
now deceased, who was one of the CCP's 'Ten Marshals.'
At the beginning of the Cultural Revolution,
Chen Xiaolu initiated and set up the first
inter-school Red Guards organization.
He was considered a core figure of the Red Guards.
In 1966, ex-CCP leader Mao Zedong launched the
10-year Cultural Revolution.
The Red Guards, mobilized by Mao, advocated that
"revolution is innocent, rebellion is reasonable."
They traveled across the country to forge factions.
Their vandalism, riots and killing reached to
a crazed extent, and greatly damaged the society.
In February 1967, Chen Yi and other CCP veterans
openly criticized the Cultural Revolution, alluding to Mao.
In October 1969, Chen Yi was sent to Shijiazhuang
labor camp to for 'Re-education Through Labor'.
In August 1970, Chen Yi became a target
during top-level infighting in the CCP.
Chen later returned to Beijing due to illness,
and died from colorectal cancer in 1972.
About 40 years later, the Cultural Revolution still
painfully affects the mentality and life of many Chinese.
Psychological studies show that the generation of youth
in the Cultural Revolution hated and betrayed their parents,
yet not they have gradually become more like their parents.
Today, the pain and violence is still passed down
between generations of Chinese people.
Some netizens say Chen Xiaolu's move will certainly set off
a wave of personal apologies for the Cultural Revolution.
Commentator Ren Baiming doubts it.
Ren Baiming: "Since the Cultural Revolution was
completely created by the CCP authoritarian system,
during this process, people acted just like a machine part,
following the machine's operation.
The machine is driven by the CCP system.
So it isn't an issue of personal introspection and apology."
Recently, some pro-Cultural Revolution voices and
practices have surfaced in China.
One netizen says the key to preventing a recurrence of the
Cultural Revolution is having the public know the truth of it.
In fact, we need to know lots of historical truths,
not just those limited to the Cultural Revolution.
Ren Baiming: "We've all seen that in the past 14 years,
the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong is similar to
the Cultural Revolution disaster.
It is even more horrifying, with the harvesting of
organs from living Falun Gong practitioners.
It is a top-down and nationwide persecution,
it is a replica of the Cultural Revolution, and it is continuing."
In his apology letter, Chen Xiaolu says
"How to interpret the Cultural Revolution is a personal freedom,
but unconstitutional violations of human rights and inhumane
behavior in any form should not be repeated in China!"
Renbai Ming says truly eradicating the vestiges of harm
brought by the Cultural Revolution can't be achieved with an apology alone.
Thoroughly disintegrating the CCP
is the real solution to the problem with China's future.

Not even 5 months into the Ma Ying-jeou presidency, many hideous things have appeared in Taiwan, one of which is an English test that amounts to brainwashing. The test was given to second year students at a National (國立) senior high school in Changhua while their brains were in a vulnerable state from cramming for the mass of big exams. Talking Show (大話新聞) lets us see the test questions with our own eyes.
Here are the ones that merit close attention:
- - -
8. Chen's popularity as a political figure started to plunge in May 2006 after a _series_ of scandals involving his wife and son-in-law broke.
9. The president refuted the magazine's report through a lawyer, _claiming_ that he and his wife couldn't have hidden the money overseas. However, most of the citizens didn't believe what he said.
10. The Department of Health announced that the government will _establish_ a permanent communication channel with Beijing authorities in order to jointly safeguard consumers from tainted food items.
[...]
12. In the beginning, Chen Shui-bian denied everything, but at last he _admitted_ that he had remitted part of the government contribution to his presidential campaigns abroad after Credit Suisse brought his alleged money laundering to light.
- - -
Host Cheng Hung-yi (鄭弘儀) asks Chung Nien-huang (鍾年晃) what he thinks. The response is that it sounds more like an "ideology test" than an English test.
Notice how sentence number 6 ends with something about "telling the truth" and that sentence number 7 reads "Teachers and parents must act ethically and do the right thing to be good role models for their kids."
That sounds nice, but look what kind of "role model" the teacher of these students is...
Sentences 8 and 9 come from this editorial in the anti-Chen, pro-KMT China Post:
http://www.chinapost.com.tw/editorial/taiwan%20issues/2008/10/03/177120/DPP-must.htm
Sentence 10 comes from this article in the anti-Chen, pro-KMT China Post:
http://www.chinapost.com.tw/taiwan/national/national%20news/2008/09/30/176717/Taipei-Beijing.htm
Sentence 12 comes from this article in the anti-Chen, pro-KMT China Post:
http://www.chinapost.com.tw/taiwan/national/national%20news/2008/10/07/177610/p2/Ex-MJIB-chief.htm
Y'think the students were assigned these particular China Post propaganda pieces for homework?
Remember this: Chen Shui-bian hasn't been convicted on any charges.
Elsewhere, new reference materials to accompany textbooks assigned by municipal junior high schools in Taipei are referring to Taiwan as a "special region of China":
http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2008/10/16/2003426059
Although the publisher has taken steps to "correct" the information (to what, I don't know -- it could be "province of the ROC"), take a look at how much "responsibility" is taken by the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) leader of Taipei:
- - -
Taipei Mayor Hau Lung-bin (郝龍斌) said the city government was only responsible for screening textbooks, and the content of the references was not its responsibility.
I take full responsibility for the quality of textbooks, but references are not within our authorities, Hau said.
- - -
"[N]ot within [their] authorities [sic]"??! Then how is that taking "full responsibility"? While he may not be responsible for what is contained in the reference book itself, he *is* responsible for it being used in Taipei's municipal schools.

ANCHOR:
New York is halfway across the globe from China, but it's not as far away as you might think when it comes to the communist regime's politics. Today, on the anniversary of the 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre, the Chinese regime is attempting to crush dissent yet again—this time on American soil.
STORY:
For the past four years, adherents of the Falun Gong spiritual practice have been protesting in New York's Flushing Chinatown. They're calling for human rights in China—and encouraging Chinese people to renounce their association with the Communist Party, which is responsible for persecuting Falun Gong.
Well, it was about two weeks ago that this group of peaceful Falun Gong practitioners—in their trademark yellow T-shirts—was joined by a much less peaceful group. As we've reported recently, an angry mob of Chinese has gathered nearby almost daily to curse at, and even physically attack, the Falun Gong—doing exactly as instructed by the Chinese consulate.
[Yi Rong, Director of the Quit CCP Center]:
"Falun Gong practitioners have been attacked by a large crowd of people, the CCP is definitely behind [this] for about two weeks, continuous attack for about two weeks.
And on May 31, the CCP's strategy got more sophisticated: several of their agents donned yellow T-shirts and pretended to be Falun Gong practitioners. Mingling amongst them, they started shouting that Chinese people deserved the earthquake in Sichuan as some sort of "karmic retribution."
Falun Gong practitioner Wang Weixing:
[Weixing Wang, Falun Gong Practitioner]:
"They first pretend to be Falun Gong practitioners when they speak to people, then in the middle of the conversation they say, 'the more people that have died the better'...They are not Falun Gong practitioners but they pretend they are."
Wang says it's all part of the Chinese regime's decade-long propaganda campaign to make Falun Gong practitioners seem crazy in order to justify its violent persecution.
And today's anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre is a reminder that some things never change; the communist regime used the same tactic 19 years ago.
Before the massacre on June 4, 1989, the communist regime dispatched spies to mingle with the participants in Beijing's democratic movement. They smashed military vehicles, stole weapons, and even burned the corpses of two captured soldiers. For 19 years, Chinese state-run television has played recordings of this over and over again.
Former Chinese diplomat and communist party defector Chén Yònglín says many Chinese people still believe precisely what they have been told by the Chinese media: that no students were killed by the military. Instead, the students in Tiananmen Square attacked the soldiers.
[Chen Yonglin, Former Chinese Diplomat]
"The young people nowadays have all forgotten. And for older people, they are too scared to speak because they've been under so much brutality and pressure over a long period of time. So if everybody's like this, then China has no hope."
And the attacks on Falun Gong in New York are just the tip of the iceberg, according to a Chinese political insider who wishes to remain anonymous for his safety. He told The Epoch Times that it's part of a grand plan by Zhōu Yǒngkāng, the head of the Chinese regime's spy network, that the purpose of planting spies amongst Falun Gong protesters serves two purposes: One is to incite hatred against Falun Gong, and the other is to shift people's focus away from the Chinese regime's mishandling of the Sichuan earthquake and other natural disasters.
He says the regime is also using the New York event as a testing ground to quash potential protests on other cities. If successful, he says, the plan will be implemented by Chinese embassies and consulates in Japan, Canada, and Great Britain.

YOUR DESCRIPTION HAS REACHED THE LIMIT OF CHARACTERS ALLOWED AND WAS CUT. SHANGHAI (AP) -- Grieving relatives identified the bodies of loved ones a day after a stampede during New Year's celebrations along Shanghai's historic waterfront area killed 36 people. Some families lashed out at authorities, accusing them of being unresponsive to their plight and failing to prevent the disaster.
The chaos began about a half-hour before what was supposed to be a joyful celebration of the start of 2015. In the end, dozens were dead and 47 people were hospitalized, including 13 who were seriously injured, according to the Shanghai government. Some of the victims had suffocated, said Xia Shujie, vice president of Shanghai No. 1 People's Hospital.
Seven of the injured had left hospitals by Thursday afternoon.
The stampede's cause was still under investigation. It happened at Chen Yi Square in Shanghai's old riverfront Bund area, famed for its art deco buildings from the 1920s and 1930s. Throngs of people often jam the area during major events.
A day after the tragedy, some criticized the government, blaming it for failing to keep order at the city's most popular site and for miscommunications with victims' relatives.
"We were told my sister was still being rescued the minute before we were taken to the morgue, where she had been lying dead - clearly for a while," said Cai Jinjin, whose cousin Qi Xiaoyan was among the dead. "There she was, cold and all by herself."
Other victims' relatives complained that authorities failed to notify them of the deadly stampede and had been unresponsive to their requests for information. In one case, relatives of 24-year-old victim Pan Haiqin said they were alarmed after Pan's employer reported a no-show at work on Thursday, and after traveling hours to Shanghai, got no answers from authorities before they finally were able to confirm Pan's death.
At one of the hospitals where the injured were being treated, relatives tried to push past guards, who used a bench to hold them back. Police later allowed family members into the hospital.
A grieving mother dragged a low-ranking municipal official out from a government compound, demanding answers.
Police at one hospital brought out photos of unidentified dead victims, causing dozens of waiting relatives to crowd around. Not everyone could see, and young women who looked at the photos broke into tears when they recognized someone.
A saleswoman in her 20s, who declined to give her name, said she had been celebrating with three friends. "I heard people screaming, someone fell, people shouted `don't rush,'" she said. "There were so many people and I couldn't stand properly." She added that she still could not contact one of her friends.
The official Xinhua News Agency quoted a woman with the surname Yin who was caught with her 12-year-old son in the middle of crowds of people pushing to go up and down steps leading from the square.
"Then people started to fall down, row by row," Yin said. When her son was finally brought to safety, he had shoe prints over his clothes, "his forehead was bruised, he had two deep creased scars on his neck, and his mouth and nose were bleeding," she said.
One Taiwanese was among the dead, and two Taiwanese and one Malaysian were among the injured, the Shanghai government information office said.
On Thursday morning, dozens of police officers were in the area and tourists continued to wander by the square, a small patch of grass dominated by a statue of Chen Yi, the city's first Communist mayor.
Steps lead down from the square to a road across from several buildings.
"We were down the stairs and wanted to move up and those

President Boris Yeltsin has been touring Shanghai to see for himself the city's economic revival.
The Russian President was in the city to sign a border treaty with China and three former Soviet states as part of his three day tour of the country.
The President wanted to see how a Communist controlled government can carry out successful free market economic reforms.
Shanghai's first Communist mayor Chen Yi dominates the city's financial district.
At the beginning of this century, Shanghai was a thriving centre for foreign investment -- until the Communists took power in 1949.
For forty years it languished under hard line Communist rule but now Shanghai is once again a boom town -- a place where the past is quickly giving way to the future.
Boris Yeltsin came to Shanghai to see for himself how a Communist controlled government can carry out successful economic reforms.
He spent the morning in Pudun -- a free economic zone on the outskirts of Shanghai and was visibly impressed by what he saw.
The leader of the Russian Communist Party Gennadi Zyuganov, Yeltsin's main rival for the Russian presidency visited Shanghai last year.
He's been using the example of the city's prosperity to persuade Western companies that a Communist Russia can also be a fertile ground for foreign investment.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
"I was in Shanghai, I went everywhere looked at everything very closely, spoke with specialists and organisers and head of foreign firms and companies. There are almost two hundred firms working there bringing capital investments making good products that would be to the advantage both of Yeltsin and Russia."
SUPERCAPTION: Leader of the Russian Communist Party Gennadi Zyuganov
Returning to his hotel after his morning's tour, Boris Yeltsin spoke with admiration of Shanghai's development but stressed Russia's different approach to reform.
The Russian leader went on to visit another of Shanghai's success stories -- the T-V tower.
Known as the Pearl of the East, it was built in less than three years and is the third highest tower in the world.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Chinese success in the economic reform can be explained mainly by the fact there was a Communist party in power that could carry out something like a sustained program of economic changes using, of course its monopoly of power. There is no such a possibility in Russia right now.
SUPERCAPTION: Viktor Kremenyuk, Deputy Director of U.S.A./Canada Institute
But however much the Russian leader may marvel at the pace of economic reform in Shanghai many feel that Russia is simply incapable of carrying out a similar programme.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
"Russia is also not copying Capitalism. It is also creating a market economy with Russian characteristics. Each country has its own characteristics and so does Russia. We are also carrying out reforms although not in the same way as China. But we should study the Shanghai experience in more detail. Of course everything I have seen has been very impressive."
SUPER CAPTION: Russian President Boris Yeltsin
A relaxed Yeltsin plunged into the waiting crowds at the end of the day.
But while the Russian President was happy to embrace the people of Shanghai it remains to be seen whether his country will embrace their economic reforms.

Chen Xiaolu is the son of Chinese Communist
Party (CCP) veteran general Chen Yi.
Chen Xiaolu recently returned to Beijing No.8
Middle School, which he attended as a child.
In a reunion of alumni, he apologized for the
torture of teachers during the Cultural Revolution.
This move was highly reported by state-run media.
Analysts say that this is to pave the road of abandoning
the "leftist line" for the upcoming Third Plenary Sessions.
67-year-old Chen Xiaolu, is Chairman of the
alumni association in Beijing No.8 Middle School.
On October 7, Chen returned to his
former school, along with 14 other alumni.
They bowed face-to-face with their
teachers, who were now in their 80's.
They apologized to their teachers for the torture and
persecution they endured during the Cultural Revolution.
In August, Chen Xiaolu posted an apology letter on a blog
of the alumni association for Beijing No.8 Middle School.
Chen sincerely apologized for his rebellion and organizing
denouncements of school leaders, teachers and students.
Huang Jian, Secretary of the alumni association:
"Chen Xiaolu thought about the apologies
for a long time. This is in his deep mind.
He made up his mind to have it done. Being the
Chairman, he did it on the behalf of all of us."
In June, Yanhuang Chunqiu magazine published
an apology letter written by a former Red Guard.
Subsequently, more former Red Guards publicly
expressed their repentance and apologies.
Chen Xiaolu's apology for the Cultural
Revolution triggered wide media attention.
On October 7, China Youth Daily published an article,
about Chen and other alumni apologizing to their teachers.
Mainstream state-media, including Xinhua
and Sina websites, have circulated the article.
Huang Jian expressed surprise at the wide reporting of
this event in media coverage, especially state media.
Huang Jian: "The regime always censors this topic.
Now it seems to have opened a little, allowing media
to truthfully report on it. I think it is a good signal."
Their apologies also aroused different opinions.
Netizens highlighted that the Cultural Revolution
was several decades ago, and questioned
the motivation of publicizing apologies now?
How should we interpret this event?
Hua Po, Beijing current affairs observer says
that behind Chen's high-profile apologies
is likely to lay the intentions of high-level's.
Hua Po: "Actually, Chen reminds people not to repeat
the tragedy, and not to follow the way of the 'leftist line'.
It likely has high-level support. Thus in some
way, it also conveys the high-level message."
Zhang Jian, US-based China social affairs expert thinks
that since the second and third generation princelings
took power, mistreatment of civilians has increased.
Now the regime used this event to express that
the Xi Jinping regime won't turn to the "left".
Zhang Jian: "They tried to win people's hearts, and
handle some issues in a soft and low-profile way.
They let civilians think that these princelings feel
sorry for what they had done during that time, and
that they still have gratitude toward their teachers.
In this way, the CCP intends to
counterbalance its bad reputation."
As media were reporting Chen's apology, Beijing's
Great Hall of the People held an event
to commemorate Xi Zhongxun's 100th birthday.
Xi Zhongxun was former Vice Chairman of
the Standing Committee and Vice Premier.
He is the father of Xi Jinping, the current CCP leader.
Hua Po: "Xi Zhongxun's wife Qi Xin
and their children gave speeches.
Their talks focused on Xi Zhongxun's
experience during the Cultural Revolution.
Once more, they mentioned the Cultural Revolution
having brought great damage and harm to China.
They vowed that China will not
return to the Cultural Revolution."
In the event, many former CCP leaders' children turned up.
This included Mao Zedong's daughter,
Li Min as well as Liu Shaoqi's son, Liu Yuan.
Deng Xiaoping's son, Deng Pufang also
attended, as did Hu Yaobang's son, Hu Deping.
Hua Po says that with Chen Xiaolu's apology
letter, it indicates that Xi Jinping has gathered
different groups' leaders under his banner,
This is to pave a way for the upcoming
Third Plenary Session of 18th CCP congress.

China on Friday mourned the 36 dead from New Year festivities at its financial capital Shanghai, as the city government revealed the victims of the deadly stampede were mainly young women.
Among the 47 who were injured – many of them students – at Shanghai’s famous waterfront area, called the Bund, were one Malaysian and three from Taiwan, state media reported.
Many among the dead were students, too. The youngest was 12 and the oldest 37. All but four were aged 25 or under, according to a list released by the city government on Friday, and 21 were female.
The normally crowded Bund, which offers a stunning view of some of the world’s tallest skyscrapers across the Huang Pu river was spilling over with people Wednesday night when first the chaos and then the stampede was triggered.
The incident was Shanghai's worst since a fire in a high-rise residential building killed 58 people in 2010 and tarnished the commercial hub's international reputation.
On Friday morning, around 100 people gathered in front of a statue of Shanghai's first communist mayor Chen Yi near the accident scene, some laying flowers in a government-approved show of mourning.
"I feel very sad about this and I hope the government will offer better safety controls for events like this," said university student Chen Xiaohang placing white chrysanthemums at the site in memory of the sister of a high-school classmate who died.
Shanghai residents questioned why the city government did not control the crowds, though police said a "more than normal" 700 police officers were present.
"The Shanghai government should take responsibility for the incident. Most of the young victims must be the only child of their families," taxi driver Xu Jianzhong said.
Under China's strict birth control regulations most couples are restricted to a single child.
The official Xinhua news agency said the government could not shake responsibility for what happened. It asked why there were apparently so few police on duty for the tens of thousands thronging the Bund.
"There was not enough policing and planning. It is really sad to see a stampede happen in a big city like Shanghai," said resident Tang Lifeng, 38.
Police have given few answers, saying an investigation is going on. On Thursday, they did not allow foreign media into a briefing, underscoring concern about negative coverage.
They have dismissed reports that a rush to pick up coupons thrown from a bar overlooking the Bund was the cause, with focus shifting to overcrowding on a raised viewing area.
The stampede has prompted unflattering comparisons with India, where stampedes are relatively common, another rapidly developing country and rival that many Chinese feel superior to.
"I originally thought that stampedes like this could only happen to Indians on pilgrimages," Cheng Daolin, a manager at a Chinese engineering company, wrote on Weibo, China's answer to Twitter.
"In the space of one night, China has become like India, and Shanghai has become like Mumbai," wrote another Weibo user.

STORYLINE
The Shanghai city government announced on Wednesday it had fired four top officials and disciplined seven others in response to the New Year's Eve stampede that killed 36 people.
The results of an investigation, released by the Shanghai government, also noted that some of the officials responsible were at an opulent banquet at the public's expense on the night of the disaster, hampering the response, violating Communist Party rules and adding to public discontent. The investigation report blamed Huangpu District officials for insufficient precautions, poor site management and congestion at the scene of the stampede in the city's historic riverfront Bund area. The district's Communist Party secretary, government chief, police chief and deputy police chief were fired and seven other officials demoted or otherwise disciplined, according to Shanghai's Municipal Bureau of Supervision Deputy Director.
Three dozen people, including a 12-year-old boy, were tramped and
asphyxiated amid the crowd of hundreds on 31 December last year, in the worst disaster to hit one of China's showcase cities in recent years. Chinese relatives have questioned whether authorities adequately notified the public of the cancellation of the light show They have previously questioned whether the city government took proper emergency measures when hundreds of thousands of people swarmed to the Bund, and whether police and medics responded effectively after the stampede.

TAIPEI — Since the dawn of mankind, there are two things we've been unable to live without, food and sex. We don't shy away from this at TomoNews so that's why we're bringing you Taiwan's top five spots to sexualize your dinner.
Photos of hunky Yi Tin Chen selling bean curd out of a small shop in Taipei have been making the rounds on the internet recently. Women and a few men have been lining up for their creamy snack and the "Bean Curd Beau" eye candy. Some speculate that he was only working the tofu shop as a promotional stunt, but hey, whatever it takes.
Next up, there is "Taiwan Pork Princess" Zhang Caijie. Suitors have been coming out of the woodwork after pictures of her slicing and slanging slabs of swine at her family restaurant were shared on social media.
Number three in our no specific order list is "Onion Boy" Wang Xianghong whose six pack suits him well whether he's working the market or walking the catwalk as a part-time model.
Number two on our list is Xu Weihan. The "McBeauty" serves loyal patrons greasy burgers with a milkshake that brings all the boys to the yard. And we do mean boys because by the looks of these photos, she's about 15 years old.
Rounding out our list is "Cool Cake Man" who has women, and a few men, drooling like they're at the dentist as he serves up desserts.

The incident was Shanghai’s worst, since a fire in a high-rise residential building, killed 58 people, in 2010, and tarnished the commercial hub’s international reputation. -
4:33A Red Guard's Regret for Evils Done in the Cultural Revolution
A Red Guard's Regret for Evils Done in the Cultural RevolutionA Red Guard's Regret for Evils Done in the Cultural Revolution
Follow us on TWITTER: http://twitter.com/cnforbiddennews Like us on FACEBOOK: http://www.facebook.com/chinaforbiddennews Recently, the trial of Bo Xilai, Chongqing's ex-Party chief, has become the focus of global media coverage. Meanwhile, Chen Xiaolu, the son of Chen Yi, the late Chinese Communist Party (CCP) veteran, released a letter. He apologized for what he did as a leader in the Red Guards during the Cultural Revolution. His letter has triggered a strong reaction among the public. Chen Xiaolu was a Red Guards leader in Beijing's No. 8 Middle School during the Cultural Revolution. On August 19, the school's Weibo micro-blog account posted a letter written by Chen. In the letter, Chen describes the Cultural Revolution as a "painful, frightening era". He says that his "formal apology came too late". "But we must make such an apology, in order to purify the soul, for social progress and the nation's future." "Without introspection, there can not be progress!" China now sees heated issues emerging. First the Bo Xilai trial, now the CCP's recent meeting on propaganda work. At the meeting, CCP leader Xi Jinping was insistent upon "maintaining the survival of the Party". Gao Yu, veteran media professional, says that Chen Xiaolu's apology came just in time. It is reminding the public to not forget the harm that the Cultural Revolution brought to the whole nation. Gao Yu: "Now the whole nation is forbidden to talk about constitutionalism. What the authorities advocate then—— isn't that creating rebellion? Things like 'struggle sessions,' singing revolutionary songs, and reading Mao's books, all these are what made China a mess back then, resulting in great losses and a turbulent era." Born in 1946, Chen Xiaolu is the son of Chen Yi, now deceased, who was one of the CCP's 'Ten Marshals.' At the beginning of the Cultural Revolution, Chen Xiaolu initiated and set up the first inter-school Red Guards organization. He was considered a core figure of the Red Guards. In 1966, ex-CCP leader Mao Zedong launched the 10-year Cultural Revolution. The Red Guards, mobilized by Mao, advocated that "revolution is innocent, rebellion is reasonable." They traveled across the country to forge factions. Their vandalism, riots and killing reached to a crazed extent, and greatly damaged the society. In February 1967, Chen Yi and other CCP veterans openly criticized the Cultural Revolution, alluding to Mao. In October 1969, Chen Yi was sent to Shijiazhuang labor camp to for 'Re-education Through Labor'. In August 1970, Chen Yi became a target during top-level infighting in the CCP. Chen later returned to Beijing due to illness, and died from colorectal cancer in 1972. About 40 years later, the Cultural Revolution still painfully affects the mentality and life of many Chinese. Psychological studies show that the generation of youth in the Cultural Revolution hated and betrayed their parents, yet not they have gradually become more like their parents. Today, the pain and violence is still passed down between generations of Chinese people. Some netizens say Chen Xiaolu's move will certainly set off a wave of personal apologies for the Cultural Revolution. Commentator Ren Baiming doubts it. Ren Baiming: "Since the Cultural Revolution was completely created by the CCP authoritarian system, during this process, people acted just like a machine part, following the machine's operation. The machine is driven by the CCP system. So it isn't an issue of personal introspection and apology." Recently, some pro-Cultural Revolution voices and practices have surfaced in China. One netizen says the key to preventing a recurrence of the Cultural Revolution is having the public know the truth of it. In fact, we need to know lots of historical truths, not just those limited to the Cultural Revolution. Ren Baiming: "We've all seen that in the past 14 years, the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong is similar to the Cultural Revolution disaster. It is even more horrifying, with the harvesting of organs from living Falun Gong practitioners. It is a top-down and nationwide persecution, it is a replica of the Cultural Revolution, and it is continuing." In his apology letter, Chen Xiaolu says "How to interpret the Cultural Revolution is a personal freedom, but unconstitutional violations of human rights and inhumane behavior in any form should not be repeated in China!" Renbai Ming says truly eradicating the vestiges of harm brought by the Cultural Revolution can't be achieved with an apology alone. Thoroughly disintegrating the CCP is the real solution to the problem with China's future. -
2:39Anti-Chen, pro-China brainwashing in the era of Ma Ying-jeou
Anti-Chen, pro-China brainwashing in the era of Ma Ying-jeouAnti-Chen, pro-China brainwashing in the era of Ma Ying-jeou
Not even 5 months into the Ma Ying-jeou presidency, many hideous things have appeared in Taiwan, one of which is an English test that amounts to brainwashing. The test was given to second year students at a National (國立) senior high school in Changhua while their brains were in a vulnerable state from cramming for the mass of big exams. Talking Show (大話新聞) lets us see the test questions with our own eyes. Here are the ones that merit close attention: - - - 8. Chen's popularity as a political figure started to plunge in May 2006 after a _series_ of scandals involving his wife and son-in-law broke. 9. The president refuted the magazine's report through a lawyer, _claiming_ that he and his wife couldn't have hidden the money overseas. However, most of the citizens didn't believe what he said. 10. The Department of Health announced that the government will _establish_ a permanent communication channel with Beijing authorities in order to jointly safeguard consumers from tainted food items. [...] 12. In the beginning, Chen Shui-bian denied everything, but at last he _admitted_ that he had remitted part of the government contribution to his presidential campaigns abroad after Credit Suisse brought his alleged money laundering to light. - - - Host Cheng Hung-yi (鄭弘儀) asks Chung Nien-huang (鍾年晃) what he thinks. The response is that it sounds more like an "ideology test" than an English test. Notice how sentence number 6 ends with something about "telling the truth" and that sentence number 7 reads "Teachers and parents must act ethically and do the right thing to be good role models for their kids." That sounds nice, but look what kind of "role model" the teacher of these students is... Sentences 8 and 9 come from this editorial in the anti-Chen, pro-KMT China Post: http://www.chinapost.com.tw/editorial/taiwan%20issues/2008/10/03/177120/DPP-must.htm Sentence 10 comes from this article in the anti-Chen, pro-KMT China Post: http://www.chinapost.com.tw/taiwan/national/national%20news/2008/09/30/176717/Taipei-Beijing.htm Sentence 12 comes from this article in the anti-Chen, pro-KMT China Post: http://www.chinapost.com.tw/taiwan/national/national%20news/2008/10/07/177610/p2/Ex-MJIB-chief.htm Y'think the students were assigned these particular China Post propaganda pieces for homework? Remember this: Chen Shui-bian hasn't been convicted on any charges. Elsewhere, new reference materials to accompany textbooks assigned by municipal junior high schools in Taipei are referring to Taiwan as a "special region of China": http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2008/10/16/2003426059 Although the publisher has taken steps to "correct" the information (to what, I don't know -- it could be "province of the ROC"), take a look at how much "responsibility" is taken by the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) leader of Taipei: - - - Taipei Mayor Hau Lung-bin (郝龍斌) said the city government was only responsible for screening textbooks, and the content of the references was not its responsibility. I take full responsibility for the quality of textbooks, but references are not within our authorities, Hau said. - - - "[N]ot within [their] authorities [sic]"??! Then how is that taking "full responsibility"? While he may not be responsible for what is contained in the reference book itself, he *is* responsible for it being used in Taipei's municipal schools.

4:20Old Communist Tactics, New Place
Old Communist Tactics, New PlaceOld Communist Tactics, New Place
ANCHOR: New York is halfway across the globe from China, but it's not as far away as you might think when it comes to the communist regime's politics. Today, on the anniversary of the 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre, the Chinese regime is attempting to crush dissent yet again—this time on American soil. STORY: For the past four years, adherents of the Falun Gong spiritual practice have been protesting in New York's Flushing Chinatown. They're calling for human rights in China—and encouraging Chinese people to renounce their association with the Communist Party, which is responsible for persecuting Falun Gong. Well, it was about two weeks ago that this group of peaceful Falun Gong practitioners—in their trademark yellow T-shirts—was joined by a much less peaceful group. As we've reported recently, an angry mob of Chinese has gathered nearby almost daily to curse at, and even physically attack, the Falun Gong—doing exactly as instructed by the Chinese consulate. [Yi Rong, Director of the Quit CCP Center]: "Falun Gong practitioners have been attacked by a large crowd of people, the CCP is definitely behind [this] for about two weeks, continuous attack for about two weeks. And on May 31, the CCP's strategy got more sophisticated: several of their agents donned yellow T-shirts and pretended to be Falun Gong practitioners. Mingling amongst them, they started shouting that Chinese people deserved the earthquake in Sichuan as some sort of "karmic retribution." Falun Gong practitioner Wang Weixing: [Weixing Wang, Falun Gong Practitioner]: "They first pretend to be Falun Gong practitioners when they speak to people, then in the middle of the conversation they say, 'the more people that have died the better'...They are not Falun Gong practitioners but they pretend they are." Wang says it's all part of the Chinese regime's decade-long propaganda campaign to make Falun Gong practitioners seem crazy in order to justify its violent persecution. And today's anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre is a reminder that some things never change; the communist regime used the same tactic 19 years ago. Before the massacre on June 4, 1989, the communist regime dispatched spies to mingle with the participants in Beijing's democratic movement. They smashed military vehicles, stole weapons, and even burned the corpses of two captured soldiers. For 19 years, Chinese state-run television has played recordings of this over and over again. Former Chinese diplomat and communist party defector Chén Yònglín says many Chinese people still believe precisely what they have been told by the Chinese media: that no students were killed by the military. Instead, the students in Tiananmen Square attacked the soldiers. [Chen Yonglin, Former Chinese Diplomat] "The young people nowadays have all forgotten. And for older people, they are too scared to speak because they've been under so much brutality and pressure over a long period of time. So if everybody's like this, then China has no hope." And the attacks on Falun Gong in New York are just the tip of the iceberg, according to a Chinese political insider who wishes to remain anonymous for his safety. He told The Epoch Times that it's part of a grand plan by Zhōu Yǒngkāng, the head of the Chinese regime's spy network, that the purpose of planting spies amongst Falun Gong protesters serves two purposes: One is to incite hatred against Falun Gong, and the other is to shift people's focus away from the Chinese regime's mishandling of the Sichuan earthquake and other natural disasters. He says the regime is also using the New York event as a testing ground to quash potential protests on other cities. If successful, he says, the plan will be implemented by Chinese embassies and consulates in Japan, Canada, and Great Britain. NTD, New York. -

New Year's stampede leaves 36 dead, 47 injured in ShanghaiNew Year's stampede leaves 36 dead, 47 injured in Shanghai
YOUR DESCRIPTION HAS REACHED THE LIMIT OF CHARACTERS ALLOWED AND WAS CUT. SHANGHAI (AP) -- Grieving relatives identified the bodies of loved ones a day after a stampede during New Year's celebrations along Shanghai's historic waterfront area killed 36 people. Some families lashed out at authorities, accusing them of being unresponsive to their plight and failing to prevent the disaster. The chaos began about a half-hour before what was supposed to be a joyful celebration of the start of 2015. In the end, dozens were dead and 47 people were hospitalized, including 13 who were seriously injured, according to the Shanghai government. Some of the victims had suffocated, said Xia Shujie, vice president of Shanghai No. 1 People's Hospital. Seven of the injured had left hospitals by Thursday afternoon. The stampede's cause was still under investigation. It happened at Chen Yi Square in Shanghai's old riverfront Bund area, famed for its art deco buildings from the 1920s and 1930s. Throngs of people often jam the area during major events. A day after the tragedy, some criticized the government, blaming it for failing to keep order at the city's most popular site and for miscommunications with victims' relatives. "We were told my sister was still being rescued the minute before we were taken to the morgue, where she had been lying dead - clearly for a while," said Cai Jinjin, whose cousin Qi Xiaoyan was among the dead. "There she was, cold and all by herself." Other victims' relatives complained that authorities failed to notify them of the deadly stampede and had been unresponsive to their requests for information. In one case, relatives of 24-year-old victim Pan Haiqin said they were alarmed after Pan's employer reported a no-show at work on Thursday, and after traveling hours to Shanghai, got no answers from authorities before they finally were able to confirm Pan's death. At one of the hospitals where the injured were being treated, relatives tried to push past guards, who used a bench to hold them back. Police later allowed family members into the hospital. A grieving mother dragged a low-ranking municipal official out from a government compound, demanding answers. Police at one hospital brought out photos of unidentified dead victims, causing dozens of waiting relatives to crowd around. Not everyone could see, and young women who looked at the photos broke into tears when they recognized someone. A saleswoman in her 20s, who declined to give her name, said she had been celebrating with three friends. "I heard people screaming, someone fell, people shouted `don't rush,'" she said. "There were so many people and I couldn't stand properly." She added that she still could not contact one of her friends. The official Xinhua News Agency quoted a woman with the surname Yin who was caught with her 12-year-old son in the middle of crowds of people pushing to go up and down steps leading from the square. "Then people started to fall down, row by row," Yin said. When her son was finally brought to safety, he had shoe prints over his clothes, "his forehead was bruised, he had two deep creased scars on his neck, and his mouth and nose were bleeding," she said. One Taiwanese was among the dead, and two Taiwanese and one Malaysian were among the injured, the Shanghai government information office said. On Thursday morning, dozens of police officers were in the area and tourists continued to wander by the square, a small patch of grass dominated by a statue of Chen Yi, the city's first Communist mayor. Steps lead down from the square to a road across from several buildings. "We were down the stairs and wanted to move up and those -
2:55CHINA: YELTSIN TOURS SHANGHAI TO SEE CITY'S ECONOMIC REVIVAL
CHINA: YELTSIN TOURS SHANGHAI TO SEE CITY'S ECONOMIC REVIVALCHINA: YELTSIN TOURS SHANGHAI TO SEE CITY'S ECONOMIC REVIVAL
Russian/Eng/Nat President Boris Yeltsin has been touring Shanghai to see for himself the city's economic revival. The Russian President was in the city to sign a border treaty with China and three former Soviet states as part of his three day tour of the country. The President wanted to see how a Communist controlled government can carry out successful free market economic reforms. Shanghai's first Communist mayor Chen Yi dominates the city's financial district. At the beginning of this century, Shanghai was a thriving centre for foreign investment -- until the Communists took power in 1949. For forty years it languished under hard line Communist rule but now Shanghai is once again a boom town -- a place where the past is quickly giving way to the future. Boris Yeltsin came to Shanghai to see for himself how a Communist controlled government can carry out successful economic reforms. He spent the morning in Pudun -- a free economic zone on the outskirts of Shanghai and was visibly impressed by what he saw. The leader of the Russian Communist Party Gennadi Zyuganov, Yeltsin's main rival for the Russian presidency visited Shanghai last year. He's been using the example of the city's prosperity to persuade Western companies that a Communist Russia can also be a fertile ground for foreign investment. SOUNDBITE: (Russian) "I was in Shanghai, I went everywhere looked at everything very closely, spoke with specialists and organisers and head of foreign firms and companies. There are almost two hundred firms working there bringing capital investments making good products that would be to the advantage both of Yeltsin and Russia." SUPERCAPTION: Leader of the Russian Communist Party Gennadi Zyuganov Returning to his hotel after his morning's tour, Boris Yeltsin spoke with admiration of Shanghai's development but stressed Russia's different approach to reform. The Russian leader went on to visit another of Shanghai's success stories -- the T-V tower. Known as the Pearl of the East, it was built in less than three years and is the third highest tower in the world. SOUNDBITE: (English) "Chinese success in the economic reform can be explained mainly by the fact there was a Communist party in power that could carry out something like a sustained program of economic changes using, of course its monopoly of power. There is no such a possibility in Russia right now. SUPERCAPTION: Viktor Kremenyuk, Deputy Director of U.S.A./Canada Institute But however much the Russian leader may marvel at the pace of economic reform in Shanghai many feel that Russia is simply incapable of carrying out a similar programme. SOUNDBITE: (Russian) "Russia is also not copying Capitalism. It is also creating a market economy with Russian characteristics. Each country has its own characteristics and so does Russia. We are also carrying out reforms although not in the same way as China. But we should study the Shanghai experience in more detail. Of course everything I have seen has been very impressive." SUPER CAPTION: Russian President Boris Yeltsin A relaxed Yeltsin plunged into the waiting crowds at the end of the day. But while the Russian President was happy to embrace the people of Shanghai it remains to be seen whether his country will embrace their economic reforms.

4:35Chinese State Media Report Cultural Revolution Apologies
Chinese State Media Report Cultural Revolution ApologiesChinese State Media Report Cultural Revolution Apologies
Follow us on TWITTER: http://twitter.com/cnforbiddennews Like us on FACEBOOK: http://www.facebook.com/chinaforbiddennews Chen Xiaolu is the son of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) veteran general Chen Yi. Chen Xiaolu recently returned to Beijing No.8 Middle School, which he attended as a child. In a reunion of alumni, he apologized for the torture of teachers during the Cultural Revolution. This move was highly reported by state-run media. Analysts say that this is to pave the road of abandoning the "leftist line" for the upcoming Third Plenary Sessions. 67-year-old Chen Xiaolu, is Chairman of the alumni association in Beijing No.8 Middle School. On October 7, Chen returned to his former school, along with 14 other alumni. They bowed face-to-face with their teachers, who were now in their 80's. They apologized to their teachers for the torture and persecution they endured during the Cultural Revolution. In August, Chen Xiaolu posted an apology letter on a blog of the alumni association for Beijing No.8 Middle School. Chen sincerely apologized for his rebellion and organizing denouncements of school leaders, teachers and students. Huang Jian, Secretary of the alumni association: "Chen Xiaolu thought about the apologies for a long time. This is in his deep mind. He made up his mind to have it done. Being the Chairman, he did it on the behalf of all of us." In June, Yanhuang Chunqiu magazine published an apology letter written by a former Red Guard. Subsequently, more former Red Guards publicly expressed their repentance and apologies. Chen Xiaolu's apology for the Cultural Revolution triggered wide media attention. On October 7, China Youth Daily published an article, about Chen and other alumni apologizing to their teachers. Mainstream state-media, including Xinhua and Sina websites, have circulated the article. Huang Jian expressed surprise at the wide reporting of this event in media coverage, especially state media. Huang Jian: "The regime always censors this topic. Now it seems to have opened a little, allowing media to truthfully report on it. I think it is a good signal." Their apologies also aroused different opinions. Netizens highlighted that the Cultural Revolution was several decades ago, and questioned the motivation of publicizing apologies now? How should we interpret this event? Hua Po, Beijing current affairs observer says that behind Chen's high-profile apologies is likely to lay the intentions of high-level's. Hua Po: "Actually, Chen reminds people not to repeat the tragedy, and not to follow the way of the 'leftist line'. It likely has high-level support. Thus in some way, it also conveys the high-level message." Zhang Jian, US-based China social affairs expert thinks that since the second and third generation princelings took power, mistreatment of civilians has increased. Now the regime used this event to express that the Xi Jinping regime won't turn to the "left". Zhang Jian: "They tried to win people's hearts, and handle some issues in a soft and low-profile way. They let civilians think that these princelings feel sorry for what they had done during that time, and that they still have gratitude toward their teachers. In this way, the CCP intends to counterbalance its bad reputation." As media were reporting Chen's apology, Beijing's Great Hall of the People held an event to commemorate Xi Zhongxun's 100th birthday. Xi Zhongxun was former Vice Chairman of the Standing Committee and Vice Premier. He is the father of Xi Jinping, the current CCP leader. Hua Po: "Xi Zhongxun's wife Qi Xin and their children gave speeches. Their talks focused on Xi Zhongxun's experience during the Cultural Revolution. Once more, they mentioned the Cultural Revolution having brought great damage and harm to China. They vowed that China will not return to the Cultural Revolution." In the event, many former CCP leaders' children turned up. This included Mao Zedong's daughter, Li Min as well as Liu Shaoqi's son, Liu Yuan. Deng Xiaoping's son, Deng Pufang also attended, as did Hu Yaobang's son, Hu Deping. Hua Po says that with Chen Xiaolu's apology letter, it indicates that Xi Jinping has gathered different groups' leaders under his banner, This is to pave a way for the upcoming Third Plenary Session of 18th CCP congress. 《神韵》2013世界巡演新亮点 http://www.ShenYunPerformingArts.org/ -

Chinese react to stampede deaths Thought this happened only in IndiaChinese react to stampede deaths Thought this happened only in India
China on Friday mourned the 36 dead from New Year festivities at its financial capital Shanghai, as the city government revealed the victims of the deadly stampede were mainly young women. Among the 47 who were injured – many of them students – at Shanghai’s famous waterfront area, called the Bund, were one Malaysian and three from Taiwan, state media reported. Many among the dead were students, too. The youngest was 12 and the oldest 37. All but four were aged 25 or under, according to a list released by the city government on Friday, and 21 were female. The normally crowded Bund, which offers a stunning view of some of the world’s tallest skyscrapers across the Huang Pu river was spilling over with people Wednesday night when first the chaos and then the stampede was triggered. The incident was Shanghai's worst since a fire in a high-rise residential building killed 58 people in 2010 and tarnished the commercial hub's international reputation. On Friday morning, around 100 people gathered in front of a statue of Shanghai's first communist mayor Chen Yi near the accident scene, some laying flowers in a government-approved show of mourning. "I feel very sad about this and I hope the government will offer better safety controls for events like this," said university student Chen Xiaohang placing white chrysanthemums at the site in memory of the sister of a high-school classmate who died. Shanghai residents questioned why the city government did not control the crowds, though police said a "more than normal" 700 police officers were present. "The Shanghai government should take responsibility for the incident. Most of the young victims must be the only child of their families," taxi driver Xu Jianzhong said. Under China's strict birth control regulations most couples are restricted to a single child. The official Xinhua news agency said the government could not shake responsibility for what happened. It asked why there were apparently so few police on duty for the tens of thousands thronging the Bund. "There was not enough policing and planning. It is really sad to see a stampede happen in a big city like Shanghai," said resident Tang Lifeng, 38. Police have given few answers, saying an investigation is going on. On Thursday, they did not allow foreign media into a briefing, underscoring concern about negative coverage. They have dismissed reports that a rush to pick up coupons thrown from a bar overlooking the Bund was the cause, with focus shifting to overcrowding on a raised viewing area. The stampede has prompted unflattering comparisons with India, where stampedes are relatively common, another rapidly developing country and rival that many Chinese feel superior to. "I originally thought that stampedes like this could only happen to Indians on pilgrimages," Cheng Daolin, a manager at a Chinese engineering company, wrote on Weibo, China's answer to Twitter. "In the space of one night, China has become like India, and Shanghai has become like Mumbai," wrote another Weibo user. -

The results of an investigation, released by the Shanghai government, also noted that some of the officials responsible were at an opulent banquet at the public's expense on the night of the disaster, hampering the response, violating Communist Party rules and adding to public discontent. The investigation report blamed Huangpu District officials for insufficient precautions, poor site management and congestion at the scene of the stampede in the city's historic riverfront Bund area. The district's Communist Party secretary, government chief, police chief and deputy police chief were fired and seven other officials demoted or otherwise disciplined, according to Shanghai's Municipal Bureau of Supervision Deputy Director. Three dozen people, including a 12-year-old boy, were tramped and asphyxiated amid the crowd of hundreds on 31 December last year, in the worst disaster to hit one of China's showcase cities in recent years. Chinese relatives have questioned whether authorities adequately notified the public of the cancellation of the light show They have previously questioned whether the city government took proper emergency measures when hundreds of thousands of people swarmed to the Bund, and whether police and medics responded effectively after the stampede. -

TAIPEI — Since the dawn of mankind, there are two things we've been unable to live without, food and sex. We don't shy away from this at TomoNews so that's why we're bringing you Taiwan's top five spots to sexualize your dinner. Photos of hunky Yi Tin Chen selling bean curd out of a small shop in Taipei have been making the rounds on the internet recently. Women and a few men have been lining up for their creamy snack and the "Bean Curd Beau" eye candy. Some speculate that he was only working the tofu shop as a promotional stunt, but hey, whatever it takes. Next up, there is "Taiwan Pork Princess" Zhang Caijie. Suitors have been coming out of the woodwork after pictures of her slicing and slanging slabs of swine at her family restaurant were shared on social media. Number three in our no specific order list is "Onion Boy" Wang Xianghong whose six pack suits him well whether he's working the market or walking the catwalk as a part-time model.

Anti-Chen, pro-China brainwashing in the era of Ma Ying-jeou
Not even 5 months into the Ma Ying-jeou presidency, many hideous things have appeared in Taiwan, one of which is an English test that amounts to brainwashing. The test was given to second year students at a National (國立) senior high school in Changhua while their brains were in a vulnerable state from cramming for the mass of big exams. Talking Show (大話新聞) lets us see the test questions with our own eyes. Here are the ones that merit close attention: - - - 8. Chen's popularity as a political figure started to plunge in May 2006 after a _series_ of scandals involving his wife and son-in-law broke. 9. The president refuted the magazine's report through a lawyer, _claiming_ that he and his wife couldn't have hidden the money overseas. However, most of the citizens didn't believe what ... -
Old Communist Tactics, New Place
ANCHOR: New York is halfway across the globe from China, but it's not as far away as you might think when it comes to the communist regime's politics. Today, on the anniversary of the 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre, the Chinese regime is attempting to crush dissent yet again—this time on American soil. STORY: For the past four years, adherents of the Falun Gong spiritual practice have been protesting in New York's Flushing Chinatown. They're calling for human rights in China—and encouraging Chinese people to renounce their association with the Communist Party, which is responsible for persecuting Falun Gong. Well, it was about two weeks ago that this group of peaceful Falun Gong practitioners—in their trademark yellow T-shirts—was joined by a much less peaceful group. As we've repo... -
New Year's stampede leaves 36 dead, 47 injured in Shanghai
YOUR DESCRIPTION HAS REACHED THE LIMIT OF CHARACTERS ALLOWED AND WAS CUT. SHANGHAI (AP) -- Grieving relatives identified the bodies of loved ones a day after a stampede during New Year's celebrations along Shanghai's historic waterfront area killed 36 people. Some families lashed out at authorities, accusing them of being unresponsive to their plight and failing to prevent the disaster. The chaos began about a half-hour before what was supposed to be a joyful celebration of the start of 2015. In the end, dozens were dead and 47 people were hospitalized, including 13 who were seriously injured, according to the Shanghai government. Some of the victims had suffocated, said Xia Shujie, vice president of Shanghai No. 1 People's Hospital. Seven of the injured had left hospitals by Thurs... -
CHINA: YELTSIN TOURS SHANGHAI TO SEE CITY'S ECONOMIC REVIVAL
Russian/Eng/Nat President Boris Yeltsin has been touring Shanghai to see for himself the city's economic revival. The Russian President was in the city to sign a border treaty with China and three former Soviet states as part of his three day tour of the country. The President wanted to see how a Communist controlled government can carry out successful free market economic reforms. Shanghai's first Communist mayor Chen Yi dominates the city's financial district. At the beginning of this century, Shanghai was a thriving centre for foreign investment -- until the Communists took power in 1949. For forty years it languished under hard line Communist rule but now Shanghai is once again a boom town -- a place where the past is quickly giving way to the future. Boris ... -

Recently, the trial of Bo Xilai, Chongqing's ex-Party chief,
has become the focus of global media coverage.
Meanwhile, Chen Xiaolu, the son of Chen Yi, the late
Chinese Communist Party (CCP) veteran, released a letter.
He apologized for what he did as a leader
in the Red Guards during the Cultural Revolution.
His letter has triggered a strong reaction among the public.
Chen Xiaolu was a Red Guards leader in Beijing's
No. 8 Middle School during the Cultural Revolution.
On August 19, the school's Weibo micro-blog
account posted a letter written by Chen.
In the letter, Chen describes the Cultural Revolution
as a "painful, frightening era".
He says that his "formal apology came too late".
"But we must make such an apology, in order to purify
the soul, for social progress and the nation's future."
"Without introspection, there can not be progress!"
China now sees heated issues emerging.
First the Bo Xilai trial, now the CCP's recent meeting
on propaganda work.
At the meeting, CCP leader Xi Jinping was insistent
upon "maintaining the survival of the Party".
Gao Yu, veteran media professional, says that
Chen Xiaolu's apology came just in time.
It is reminding the public to not forget the harm
that the Cultural Revolution brought to the whole nation.
Gao Yu: "Now the whole nation is forbidden to
talk about constitutionalism.
What the authorities advocate then——
isn't that creating rebellion?
Things like 'struggle sessions,' singing
revolutionary songs, and reading Mao's books,
all these are what made China a mess back then,
resulting in great losses and a turbulent era."
Born in 1946, Chen Xiaolu is the son of Chen Yi,
now deceased, who was one of the CCP's 'Ten Marshals.'
At the beginning of the Cultural Revolution,
Chen Xiaolu initiated and set up the first
inter-school Red Guards organization.
He was considered a core figure of the Red Guards.
In 1966, ex-CCP leader Mao Zedong launched the
10-year Cultural Revolution.
The Red Guards, mobilized by Mao, advocated that
"revolution is innocent, rebellion is reasonable."
They traveled across the country to forge factions.
Their vandalism, riots and killing reached to
a crazed extent, and greatly damaged the society.
In February 1967, Chen Yi and other CCP veterans
openly criticized the Cultural Revolution, alluding to Mao.
In October 1969, Chen Yi was sent to Shijiazhuang
labor camp to for 'Re-education Through Labor'.
In August 1970, Chen Yi became a target
during top-level infighting in the CCP.
Chen later returned to Beijing due to illness,
and died from colorectal cancer in 1972.
About 40 years later, the Cultural Revolution still
painfully affects the mentality and life of many Chinese.
Psychological studies show that the generation of youth
in the Cultural Revolution hated and betrayed their parents,
yet not they have gradually become more like their parents.
Today, the pain and violence is still passed down
between generations of Chinese people.
Some netizens say Chen Xiaolu's move will certainly set off
a wave of personal apologies for the Cultural Revolution.
Commentator Ren Baiming doubts it.
Ren Baiming: "Since the Cultural Revolution was
completely created by the CCP authoritarian system,
during this process, people acted just like a machine part,
following the machine's operation.
The machine is driven by the CCP system.
So it isn't an issue of personal introspection and apology."
Recently, some pro-Cultural Revolution voices and
practices have surfaced in China.
One netizen says the key to preventing a recurrence of the
Cultural Revolution is having the public know the truth of it.
In fact, we need to know lots of historical truths,
not just those limited to the Cultural Revolution.
Ren Baiming: "We've all seen that in the past 14 years,
the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong is similar to
the Cultural Revolution disaster.
It is even more horrifying, with the harvesting of
organs from living Falun Gong practitioners.
It is a top-down and nationwide persecution,
it is a replica of the Cultural Revolution, and it is continuing."
In his apology letter, Chen Xiaolu says
"How to interpret the Cultural Revolution is a personal freedom,
but unconstitutional violations of human rights and inhumane
behavior in any form should not be repeated in China!"
Renbai Ming says truly eradicating the vestiges of harm
brought by the Cultural Revolution can't be achieved with an apology alone.
Thoroughly disintegrating the CCP
is the real solution to the problem with China's future.

Not even 5 months into the Ma Ying-jeou presidency, many hideous things have appeared in Taiwan, one of which is an English test that amounts to brainwashing. The test was given to second year students at a National (國立) senior high school in Changhua while their brains were in a vulnerable state from cramming for the mass of big exams. Talking Show (大話新聞) lets us see the test questions with our own eyes.
Here are the ones that merit close attention:
- - -
8. Chen's popularity as a political figure started to plunge in May 2006 after a _series_ of scandals involving his wife and son-in-law broke.
9. The president refuted the magazine's report through a lawyer, _claiming_ that he and his wife couldn't have hidden the money overseas. However, most of the citizens didn't believe what he said.
10. The Department of Health announced that the government will _establish_ a permanent communication channel with Beijing authorities in order to jointly safeguard consumers from tainted food items.
[...]
12. In the beginning, Chen Shui-bian denied everything, but at last he _admitted_ that he had remitted part of the government contribution to his presidential campaigns abroad after Credit Suisse brought his alleged money laundering to light.
- - -
Host Cheng Hung-yi (鄭弘儀) asks Chung Nien-huang (鍾年晃) what he thinks. The response is that it sounds more like an "ideology test" than an English test.
Notice how sentence number 6 ends with something about "telling the truth" and that sentence number 7 reads "Teachers and parents must act ethically and do the right thing to be good role models for their kids."
That sounds nice, but look what kind of "role model" the teacher of these students is...
Sentences 8 and 9 come from this editorial in the anti-Chen, pro-KMT China Post:

Remember this: Chen Shui-bian hasn't been convicted on any charges.

Although the publisher has taken steps to "correct" the information (to what, I don't know -- it could be "province of the ROC"), take a look at how much "responsibility" is taken by the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) leader of Taipei:

Taipei Mayor Hau Lung-bin (郝龍斌) said the city government was only responsible for screening textbooks, and the content of the references was not its responsibility.
I take full responsibility for the quality of textbooks, but references are not within our authorities, Hau said.

ANCHOR:
New York is halfway across the globe from China, but it's not as far away as you might think when it comes to the communist regime's politics. Today, on the anniversary of the 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre, the Chinese regime is attempting to crush dissent yet again—this time on American soil.
STORY:
For the past four years, adherents of the Falun Gong spiritual practice have been protesting in New York's Flushing Chinatown. They're calling for human rights in China—and encouraging Chinese people to renounce their association with the Communist Party, which is responsible for persecuting Falun Gong.
Well, it was about two weeks ago that this group of peaceful Falun Gong practitioners—in their trademark yellow T-shirts—was joined by a much less peaceful group. As we've reported recently, an angry mob of Chinese has gathered nearby almost daily to curse at, and even physically attack, the Falun Gong—doing exactly as instructed by the Chinese consulate.
[Yi Rong, Director of the Quit CCP Center]:
"Falun Gong practitioners have been attacked by a large crowd of people, the CCP is definitely behind [this] for about two weeks, continuous attack for about two weeks.
And on May 31, the CCP's strategy got more sophisticated: several of their agents donned yellow T-shirts and pretended to be Falun Gong practitioners. Mingling amongst them, they started shouting that Chinese people deserved the earthquake in Sichuan as some sort of "karmic retribution."
Falun Gong practitioner Wang Weixing:
[Weixing Wang, Falun Gong Practitioner]:
"They first pretend to be Falun Gong practitioners when they speak to people, then in the middle of the conversation they say, 'the more people that have died the better'...They are not Falun Gong practitioners but they pretend they are."
Wang says it's all part of the Chinese regime's decade-long propaganda campaign to make Falun Gong practitioners seem crazy in order to justify its violent persecution.
And today's anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre is a reminder that some things never change; the communist regime used the same tactic 19 years ago.
Before the massacre on June 4, 1989, the communist regime dispatched spies to mingle with the participants in Beijing's democratic movement. They smashed military vehicles, stole weapons, and even burned the corpses of two captured soldiers. For 19 years, Chinese state-run television has played recordings of this over and over again.
Former Chinese diplomat and communist party defector Chén Yònglín says many Chinese people still believe precisely what they have been told by the Chinese media: that no students were killed by the military. Instead, the students in Tiananmen Square attacked the soldiers.

"The young people nowadays have all forgotten. And for older people, they are too scared to speak because they've been under so much brutality and pressure over a long period of time. So if everybody's like this, then China has no hope."
And the attacks on Falun Gong in New York are just the tip of the iceberg, according to a Chinese political insider who wishes to remain anonymous for his safety. He told The Epoch Times that it's part of a grand plan by Zhōu Yǒngkāng, the head of the Chinese regime's spy network, that the purpose of planting spies amongst Falun Gong protesters serves two purposes: One is to incite hatred against Falun Gong, and the other is to shift people's focus away from the Chinese regime's mishandling of the Sichuan earthquake and other natural disasters.
He says the regime is also using the New York event as a testing ground to quash potential protests on other cities. If successful, he says, the plan will be implemented by Chinese embassies and consulates in Japan, Canada, and Great Britain.

ANCHOR:
New York is halfway across the globe from China, but it's not as far away as you might think when it comes to the communist regime's politics. Today, on the anniversary of the 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre, the Chinese regime is attempting to crush dissent yet again—this time on American soil.
STORY:
For the past four years, adherents of the Falun Gong spiritual practice have been protesting in New York's Flushing Chinatown. They're calling for human rights in China—and encouraging Chinese people to renounce their association with the Communist Party, which is responsible for persecuting Falun Gong.
Well, it was about two weeks ago that this group of peaceful Falun Gong practitioners—in their trademark yellow T-shirts—was joined by a much less peaceful group. As we've reported recently, an angry mob of Chinese has gathered nearby almost daily to curse at, and even physically attack, the Falun Gong—doing exactly as instructed by the Chinese consulate.
[Yi Rong, Director of the Quit CCP Center]:
"Falun Gong practitioners have been attacked by a large crowd of people, the CCP is definitely behind [this] for about two weeks, continuous attack for about two weeks.
And on May 31, the CCP's strategy got more sophisticated: several of their agents donned yellow T-shirts and pretended to be Falun Gong practitioners. Mingling amongst them, they started shouting that Chinese people deserved the earthquake in Sichuan as some sort of "karmic retribution."
Falun Gong practitioner Wang Weixing:
[Weixing Wang, Falun Gong Practitioner]:
"They first pretend to be Falun Gong practitioners when they speak to people, then in the middle of the conversation they say, 'the more people that have died the better'...They are not Falun Gong practitioners but they pretend they are."
Wang says it's all part of the Chinese regime's decade-long propaganda campaign to make Falun Gong practitioners seem crazy in order to justify its violent persecution.
And today's anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre is a reminder that some things never change; the communist regime used the same tactic 19 years ago.
Before the massacre on June 4, 1989, the communist regime dispatched spies to mingle with the participants in Beijing's democratic movement. They smashed military vehicles, stole weapons, and even burned the corpses of two captured soldiers. For 19 years, Chinese state-run television has played recordings of this over and over again.

YOUR DESCRIPTION HAS REACHED THE LIMIT OF CHARACTERS ALLOWED AND WAS CUT. SHANGHAI (AP) -- Grieving relatives identified the bodies of loved ones a day after a stampede during New Year's celebrations along Shanghai's historic waterfront area killed 36 people. Some families lashed out at authorities, accusing them of being unresponsive to their plight and failing to prevent the disaster.
The chaos began about a half-hour before what was supposed to be a joyful celebration of the start of 2015. In the end, dozens were dead and 47 people were hospitalized, including 13 who were seriously injured, according to the Shanghai government. Some of the victims had suffocated, said Xia Shujie, vice president of Shanghai No. 1 People's Hospital.
Seven of the injured had left hospitals by Thursday afternoon.
The stampede's cause was still under investigation. It happened at Chen Yi Square in Shanghai's old riverfront Bund area, famed for its art deco buildings from the 1920s and 1930s. Throngs of people often jam the area during major events.
A day after the tragedy, some criticized the government, blaming it for failing to keep order at the city's most popular site and for miscommunications with victims' relatives.
"We were told my sister was still being rescued the minute before we were taken to the morgue, where she had been lying dead - clearly for a while," said Cai Jinjin, whose cousin Qi Xiaoyan was among the dead. "There she was, cold and all by herself."
Other victims' relatives complained that authorities failed to notify them of the deadly stampede and had been unresponsive to their requests for information. In one case, relatives of 24-year-old victim Pan Haiqin said they were alarmed after Pan's employer reported a no-show at work on Thursday, and after traveling hours to Shanghai, got no answers from authorities before they finally were able to confirm Pan's death.
At one of the hospitals where the injured were being treated, relatives tried to push past guards, who used a bench to hold them back. Police later allowed family members into the hospital.
A grieving mother dragged a low-ranking municipal official out from a government compound, demanding answers.
Police at one hospital brought out photos of unidentified dead victims, causing dozens of waiting relatives to crowd around. Not everyone could see, and young women who looked at the photos broke into tears when they recognized someone.
A saleswoman in her 20s, who declined to give her name, said she had been celebrating with three friends. "I heard people screaming, someone fell, people shouted `don't rush,'" she said. "There were so many people and I couldn't stand properly." She added that she still could not contact one of her friends.
The official Xinhua News Agency quoted a woman with the surname Yin who was caught with her 12-year-old son in the middle of crowds of people pushing to go up and down steps leading from the square.
"Then people started to fall down, row by row," Yin said. When her son was finally brought to safety, he had shoe prints over his clothes, "his forehead was bruised, he had two deep creased scars on his neck, and his mouth and nose were bleeding," she said.
One Taiwanese was among the dead, and two Taiwanese and one Malaysian were among the injured, the Shanghai government information office said.
On Thursday morning, dozens of police officers were in the area and tourists continued to wander by the square, a small patch of grass dominated by a statue of Chen Yi, the city's first Communist mayor.
Steps lead down from the square to a road across from several buildings.

Russian/Eng/Nat
President Boris Yeltsin has been touring Shanghai to see for himself the city's economic revival.
The Russian President was in the city to sign a border treaty with China and three former Soviet states as part of his three day tour of the country.
The President wanted to see how a Communist controlled government can carry out successful free market economic reforms.
Shanghai's first Communist mayor Chen Yi dominates the city's financial district.
At the beginning of this century, Shanghai was a thriving centre for foreign investment -- until the Communists took power in 1949.
For forty years it languished under hard line Communist rule but now Shanghai is once again a boom town -- a place where the past is quickly giving way to the future.
Boris Yeltsin came to Shanghai to see for himself how a Communist controlled government can carry out successful economic reforms.
He spent the morning in Pudun -- a free economic zone on the outskirts of Shanghai and was visibly impressed by what he saw.
The leader of the Russian Communist Party Gennadi Zyuganov, Yeltsin's main rival for the Russian presidency visited Shanghai last year.
He's been using the example of the city's prosperity to persuade Western companies that a Communist Russia can also be a fertile ground for foreign investment.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
"I was in Shanghai, I went everywhere looked at everything very closely, spoke with specialists and organisers and head of foreign firms and companies. There are almost two hundred firms working there bringing capital investments making good products that would be to the advantage both of Yeltsin and Russia."
SUPERCAPTION: Leader of the Russian Communist Party Gennadi Zyuganov
Returning to his hotel after his morning's tour, Boris Yeltsin spoke with admiration of Shanghai's development but stressed Russia's different approach to reform.
The Russian leader went on to visit another of Shanghai's success stories -- the T-V tower.
Known as the Pearl of the East, it was built in less than three years and is the third highest tower in the world.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Chinese success in the economic reform can be explained mainly by the fact there was a Communist party in power that could carry out something like a sustained program of economic changes using, of course its monopoly of power. There is no such a possibility in Russia right now.
SUPERCAPTION: Viktor Kremenyuk, Deputy Director of U.S.A./Canada Institute
But however much the Russian leader may marvel at the pace of economic reform in Shanghai many feel that Russia is simply incapable of carrying out a similar programme.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
"Russia is also not copying Capitalism. It is also creating a market economy with Russian characteristics. Each country has its own characteristics and so does Russia. We are also carrying out reforms although not in the same way as China. But we should study the Shanghai experience in more detail. Of course everything I have seen has been very impressive."
SUPER CAPTION: Russian President Boris Yeltsin
A relaxed Yeltsin plunged into the waiting crowds at the end of the day.
But while the Russian President was happy to embrace the people of Shanghai it remains to be seen whether his country will embrace their economic reforms.

Chen Xiaolu is the son of Chinese Communist
Party (CCP) veteran general Chen Yi.
Chen Xiaolu recently returned to Beijing No.8
Middle School, which he attended as a child.
In a reunion of alumni, he apologized for the
torture of teachers during the Cultural Revolution.
This move was highly reported by state-run media.
Analysts say that this is to pave the road of abandoning
the "leftist line" for the upcoming Third Plenary Sessions.
67-year-old Chen Xiaolu, is Chairman of the
alumni association in Beijing No.8 Middle School.
On October 7, Chen returned to his
former school, along with 14 other alumni.
They bowed face-to-face with their
teachers, who were now in their 80's.
They apologized to their teachers for the torture and
persecution they endured during the Cultural Revolution.
In August, Chen Xiaolu posted an apology letter on a blog
of the alumni association for Beijing No.8 Middle School.
Chen sincerely apologized for his rebellion and organizing
denouncements of school leaders, teachers and students.
Huang Jian, Secretary of the alumni association:
"Chen Xiaolu thought about the apologies
for a long time. This is in his deep mind.
He made up his mind to have it done. Being the
Chairman, he did it on the behalf of all of us."
In June, Yanhuang Chunqiu magazine published
an apology letter written by a former Red Guard.
Subsequently, more former Red Guards publicly
expressed their repentance and apologies.
Chen Xiaolu's apology for the Cultural
Revolution triggered wide media attention.
On October 7, China Youth Daily published an article,
about Chen and other alumni apologizing to their teachers.
Mainstream state-media, including Xinhua
and Sina websites, have circulated the article.
Huang Jian expressed surprise at the wide reporting of
this event in media coverage, especially state media.
Huang Jian: "The regime always censors this topic.
Now it seems to have opened a little, allowing media
to truthfully report on it. I think it is a good signal."
Their apologies also aroused different opinions.
Netizens highlighted that the Cultural Revolution
was several decades ago, and questioned
the motivation of publicizing apologies now?
How should we interpret this event?
Hua Po, Beijing current affairs observer says
that behind Chen's high-profile apologies
is likely to lay the intentions of high-level's.
Hua Po: "Actually, Chen reminds people not to repeat
the tragedy, and not to follow the way of the 'leftist line'.
It likely has high-level support. Thus in some
way, it also conveys the high-level message."
Zhang Jian, US-based China social affairs expert thinks
that since the second and third generation princelings
took power, mistreatment of civilians has increased.
Now the regime used this event to express that
the Xi Jinping regime won't turn to the "left".
Zhang Jian: "They tried to win people's hearts, and
handle some issues in a soft and low-profile way.
They let civilians think that these princelings feel
sorry for what they had done during that time, and
that they still have gratitude toward their teachers.
In this way, the CCP intends to
counterbalance its bad reputation."
As media were reporting Chen's apology, Beijing's
Great Hall of the People held an event
to commemorate Xi Zhongxun's 100th birthday.
Xi Zhongxun was former Vice Chairman of
the Standing Committee and Vice Premier.
He is the father of Xi Jinping, the current CCP leader.
Hua Po: "Xi Zhongxun's wife Qi Xin
and their children gave speeches.
Their talks focused on Xi Zhongxun's
experience during the Cultural Revolution.
Once more, they mentioned the Cultural Revolution
having brought great damage and harm to China.
They vowed that China will not
return to the Cultural Revolution."
In the event, many former CCP leaders' children turned up.
This included Mao Zedong's daughter,
Li Min as well as Liu Shaoqi's son, Liu Yuan.
Deng Xiaoping's son, Deng Pufang also
attended, as did Hu Yaobang's son, Hu Deping.
Hua Po says that with Chen Xiaolu's apology
letter, it indicates that Xi Jinping has gathered
different groups' leaders under his banner,
This is to pave a way for the upcoming
Third Plenary Session of 18th CCP congress.

China on Friday mourned the 36 dead from New Year festivities at its financial capital Shanghai, as the city government revealed the victims of the deadly stampede were mainly young women.
Among the 47 who were injured – many of them students – at Shanghai’s famous waterfront area, called the Bund, were one Malaysian and three from Taiwan, state media reported.
Many among the dead were students, too. The youngest was 12 and the oldest 37. All but four were aged 25 or under, according to a list released by the city government on Friday, and 21 were female.
The normally crowded Bund, which offers a stunning view of some of the world’s tallest skyscrapers across the Huang Pu river was spilling over with people Wednesday night when first the chaos and then the stampede was triggered.
The incident was Shanghai's worst since a fire in a high-rise residential building killed 58 people in 2010 and tarnished the commercial hub's international reputation.
On Friday morning, around 100 people gathered in front of a statue of Shanghai's first communist mayor Chen Yi near the accident scene, some laying flowers in a government-approved show of mourning.
"I feel very sad about this and I hope the government will offer better safety controls for events like this," said university student Chen Xiaohang placing white chrysanthemums at the site in memory of the sister of a high-school classmate who died.
Shanghai residents questioned why the city government did not control the crowds, though police said a "more than normal" 700 police officers were present.
"The Shanghai government should take responsibility for the incident. Most of the young victims must be the only child of their families," taxi driver Xu Jianzhong said.
Under China's strict birth control regulations most couples are restricted to a single child.
The official Xinhua news agency said the government could not shake responsibility for what happened. It asked why there were apparently so few police on duty for the tens of thousands thronging the Bund.
"There was not enough policing and planning. It is really sad to see a stampede happen in a big city like Shanghai," said resident Tang Lifeng, 38.
Police have given few answers, saying an investigation is going on. On Thursday, they did not allow foreign media into a briefing, underscoring concern about negative coverage.
They have dismissed reports that a rush to pick up coupons thrown from a bar overlooking the Bund was the cause, with focus shifting to overcrowding on a raised viewing area.
The stampede has prompted unflattering comparisons with India, where stampedes are relatively common, another rapidly developing country and rival that many Chinese feel superior to.
"I originally thought that stampedes like this could only happen to Indians on pilgrimages," Cheng Daolin, a manager at a Chinese engineering company, wrote on Weibo, China's answer to Twitter.
"In the space of one night, China has become like India, and Shanghai has become like Mumbai," wrote another Weibo user.

"The Shanghai government should take responsibility for the incident. Most of the young victims must be the only child of their families," taxi driver Xu Jianzhong said.
Under China's strict birth control regulations most couples are restricted to a single child.
The official Xinhua news agency said the government could not shake responsibility for what happened. It asked why there were apparently so few police on duty for the tens of thousands thronging the Bund.
"There was not enough policing and planning. It is really sad to see a stampede happen in a big city like Shanghai," said resident Tang Lifeng, 38.
Police have given few answers, saying an investigation is going on. On Thursday, they did not allow foreign media into a briefing, underscoring concern about negative coverage.
They have dismissed reports that a rush to pick up coupons thrown from a bar overlooking the Bund was the cause, with focus shifting to overcrowding on a raised viewing area.
The stampede has prompted unflattering comparisons with India, where stampedes are relatively common, another rapidly developing country and rival that many Chinese feel superior to.
"I originally thought that stampedes like this could only happen to Indians on pilgrimages," Cheng Daolin, a manager at a Chinese engineering company, wrote on Weibo, China's answer to Twitter.
"In the space of one night, China has become like India, and Shanghai has become like Mumbai," wrote another Weibo user.

STORYLINE
The Shanghai city government announced on Wednesday it had fired four top officials and disciplined seven others in response to the New Year's Eve stampede that killed 36 people.
The results of an investigation, released by the Shanghai government, also noted that some of the officials responsible were at an opulent banquet at the public's expense on the night of the disaster, hampering the response, violating Communist Party rules and adding to public discontent. The investigation report blamed Huangpu District officials for insufficient precautions, poor site management and congestion at the scene of the stampede in the city's historic riverfront Bund area. The district's Communist Party secretary, government chief, police chief and deputy police chief were fired and seven other officials demoted or otherwise disciplined, according to Shanghai's Municipal Bureau of Supervision Deputy Director.
Three dozen people, including a 12-year-old boy, were tramped and
asphyxiated amid the crowd of hundreds on 31 December last year, in the worst disaster to hit one of China's showcase cities in recent years. Chinese relatives have questioned whether authorities adequately notified the public of the cancellation of the light show They have previously questioned whether the city government took proper emergency measures when hundreds of thousands of people swarmed to the Bund, and whether police and medics responded effectively after the stampede.

TAIPEI — Since the dawn of mankind, there are two things we've been unable to live without, food and sex. We don't shy away from this at TomoNews so that's why we're bringing you Taiwan's top five spots to sexualize your dinner.
Photos of hunky Yi Tin Chen selling bean curd out of a small shop in Taipei have been making the rounds on the internet recently. Women and a few men have been lining up for their creamy snack and the "Bean Curd Beau" eye candy. Some speculate that he was only working the tofu shop as a promotional stunt, but hey, whatever it takes.
Next up, there is "Taiwan Pork Princess" Zhang Caijie. Suitors have been coming out of the woodwork after pictures of her slicing and slanging slabs of swine at her family restaurant were shared on social media.
Number three in our no specific order list is "Onion Boy" Wang Xianghong whose six pack suits him well whether he's working the market or walking the catwalk as a part-time model.
Number two on our list is Xu Weihan. The "McBeauty" serves loyal patrons greasy burgers with a milkshake that brings all the boys to the yard. And we do mean boys because by the looks of these photos, she's about 15 years old.
Rounding out our list is "Cool Cake Man" who has women, and a few men, drooling like they're at the dentist as he serves up desserts.
