I'd blame the victim if he went to North Korea for dystopia tourism and started flipping the bird at the dynasty statues. When people make deliberately poor decisions while refusing to accept that they could be liable for the consequences? That's where you point, laugh, shrug and move on.

Looks like the North Koreans subscribe to Strom Trooper weekly as they fired at the defector only meters away without him dying on the spot. He even knocks one of them down as he runs, he was that close to them.

If you own an iPhone X, there is a chance your prized smartphone was built from forced labour of Chinese high school students.

Apple and its largest Chinese supplier, Foxconn, acknowledged that students did work in the latter's factories to assemble the iPhone X to keep up with the demand. Despite Apple and Foxconn saying the students volunteered to work at the factories, students told the Financial Times that they needed to work at the factories for three months to graduate high school.

A group of 3000 students ages 17 to 19 routinely worked 11 hours a day at the factory starting in September, which constituted illegal overtime work for student interns in China. One 18-year old girl told the Financial Times she assembled 1200 iPhone X cameras a day.

Apple told the Financial Times that an audit found there were indeed students working overtime but also insisted the students were voluntarily working and appropriately compensated.

Reminds me of that comic by that French animator - he goes into a Nork firing range and (paraphrased) 'Fired at the target with some soviet knockoff in some kind of Clint Eastwood/John Woo stance', then his two handlers (Who, as conscripts, actually had training in this) took up actual firing stances and placed their shots.

He still got a higher score than them.

I guess it makes sense, though. If you're a dictator and the biggest danger comes from your own generals, why would you fund their men's training to any particular standard?

Maybe some of them missed on purpose? Unlikely, I know, but maybe there was some compassion at work.

Maybe the army should be able to get some actual loving food, instead of stealing it from the people they're purportedly protecting...then they could aim better, perhaps.

those soldiers guarding that part of the border are supposed to be like the super elite commando guys, on both sides, and you can bet the fact the they hosed up means that they and their families, for THREE loving GENERATIONS, will be living in a prison camp, slowly dying painfully.

Can we call this sort of laziness a cultural poison? Reminder that in China the purpose of a bicycle is for when walking is too tiring, not because you are trying to reach a destination more quickly. For reference heres the rental bike story Haier posted a while back: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-10-30/uber-s-bruising-battle-in-china-is-being-refought-with-bicycles
I don't know if it was the same across China, but in Shenzhen the only people that would go more than a snail's pace and/or own their own bikes were those spandex-wearing dorks with the bike shorts, ill-fitting shirts, gloves, Dog the Bounty Hunter sunglasses, and whatever else the generic kit included. They all looked exactly the same and often rode in packs. One of the most annoying things about them is that they never had bells to alert you of their presence, but all of them would have some bluetooth speaker attached to the bike somewhere playing teenage girl music even though they were men in their 30s. If it wasn't Chinese piano ballads with female singers, it was Britney Spears and Taylor Swift blaring as they rode by. They would only ride in the most crowded parks, trying to go fast as possible despite there being too many people. It's like taking everything that might be fun about riding a bike and removing it, and then making a lifestyle out of it that costs thousands of dollars. I hated all of those dudes because they were so reckless and looked so drat stupid.

Name: Katy Perry

Age: 33.

Appearance: Blond at the time of going to press.

She changes her look a lot? Possibly hourly.

Where does she ply her trade? Anywhere and everywhere. Except China.

What’s she got against China? Nothing. She’s banned. The Chinese authorities have reportedly refused Perry a visa to perform at a forthcoming Victoria’s Secret fashion show in Shanghai.

What did she do to upset them? She wore a glittery dress with sunflowers all over it.

You mean she was banned on grounds of taste? Not exactly. The dress, which she wore during a 2015 concert in Taipei, appeared to support Taiwanese anti-China protesters, who have a sunflower as their emblem.

Was she trying to be politically provocative? Probably not – the dress had featured in prior shows on the tour – but then she went on to wear a Republic of China – ie Taiwan – flag as a cape.

And the People’s Republic wasn’t happy. They don’t recognise the republic and claim Taiwan as their territory. They’re pretty touchy about that sort of thing.

Have any other entertainers been banned from China? Oh my, yes. Maroon 5 were forced to scrap two concerts in 2015, reportedly after their keyboard player sent a birthday tweet to the Dalai Lama.

Whoops. Lady Gaga was refused entry to China because of her support for Tibet, as were Björk and Oasis. Justin Bieber has also been banned.

What did he get banned for? Non-specific idiocy.

Fair enough. Does Perry have a big following in China? She does. Among her Chinese fanbase she is known affectionately as “Fruit Sister”.

Why do they call her that? Due to her habit of wearing fruit-themed costumes on stage, and performing with outsize fruit-shaped props.

Does she care if she never goes to China again? It would mean a cut in income – China is a huge market for western entertainers.

What are her chances of getting a visa in the future? Never say never. In July the Chinese culture bureau said: “We hope Justin Bieber is able to improve his conduct as he grows up and will once again find public favour.”

Do say: “Perry deserves the right to free political expression, however inadvertent.”

Don’t say: “Stick to fruit, sister.”
