Of course Chinese think, due to propaganda, that the northern part of India actually belongs to China, so they will be justified in taking back what they think belongs to them.

“We want to come up with some slogan like, ‘Cute girls don’t date dog eaters,'” she said, adding that most afficionados in Yulin are men, who believe the meat increases virility.

Again with the virility. How come everything is a dong medicine in china?

500,000 elderly people go missing in China every year
Hong Kong (CNN)More than 1,300 elderly people go missing in China every day -- 500,000 per year, a new report claims.

Senior citizens aged 65 or over account for up to 80% of missing elderly person cases, according to the Zhongmin Social Assistance Institute under the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

"This is obviously a huge number and a social issue we cannot afford to ignore," Wang Zhikun, president of the Zhongmin institute, said on Sunday.

Around 25% of those missing had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's or dementia, while 72% suffered some sort of memory impairment, according to the report.

Of those who were found after being reported missing, 25% then went missing again, report author Xiong Guibin added.

don't think this one's been posted yet.

I took three grams of phenibut and two of these Chinese boner pills called Black Ant King, and started furiously scrolling through tinder matches. One girl responded as definitely wanting to gently caress, which was perfect because my dick was grossly over-erect and it was draining life-force from the rest of my body.
I got to the park where we decided to meet, and holy Christ, it was like she was nine ladies stuffed into one lady. Her neck looked nine necks stuffed into one neck. I'd describe her snatch, but y'all get the picture. At least two people walked by with their dogs, but something about the phenibut high made me immune to shame and all-round good judgement, and I barebacked this girl in a goddamn park.
I've been staring at my dick keeping an eye out for bumps, lumps, or rashes.
Keep your phenibut doses light and don't mix it with Chinese boner pills or else you might end up getting your dick wet in all the wrong places.
It was hot as gently caress though.
At the time.
Now it's gross.

Yiwu is a small town by Chinese standards (pop. 1.2 million). But it’s globally significant to anyone who has ever bought socks, zippers, or a cheap last-minute Halloween costume.

The city attracts business visitors from all over the world. Buyers come year-round to survey goods and make bulk orders that end up in hardware stores, souvenir shops, and big-box retailers on every continent. According to one estimate by a local trade group, more than 60 percent of all Christmas decorations, especially lights, originate in Yiwu.

Chinese police net fisherman caught with huge endangered whale shark
A fisherman in eastern China has been arrested for allegedly trying to sell endangered wildlife after footage surfaced online of a massive dead whale shark being hacked to pieces in a hotel car park.

Residents in Ningde, Fujian province, tipped off police about the shark on Monday when it was spotted on the back of a truck in the township of Sansha, state-run Chinanews.com reported on Thursday.

The fishermen tried to sell the shark, which was several metres long, to the hotel’s restaurant but staff rejected the catch, saying it was “too smelly” and poisonous, the report said.

North Korea: As UN sanctions bite, Chinese tourists flock to gawk at their poor neighbours

Just a few kilometres north of the thriving Chinese border city of Dandong, a daily routine plays out that highlights the huge gap between Asia's two socialist allies.

Every hour during the day, dozens of Chinese boats speed off from a jetty on the Yalu river, packed with tourists, cameras and selfie sticks.

They speed down the water into North Korean territory, past fishermen, soldiers and agricultural workers tending bullock-carts.

As they gawk at their neighbours, a tour guide explains through a crackly speaker that North Korea isn't as economically developed as China.

This appears to be the main drawcard for the thousands of Chinese tourists who come here every year.

"Everyone says North Korea is very poor, so I want to go there and take a look myself at how poor they actually are," said a 74-year-old tourist who only gave his surname, Zhu.

The latest UN sanctions against North Korea, if enforced, will strip an estimated $940 million of income from Kim Jong-un's regime by banning the export of textiles.

It will also cap, but not stop, the flow of oil that China pumps in a pipeline under the Yalu River.

There's not much talk of international politics as the tourist boats pass a village and several watch posts dotted along a continuous wire fence on the North Korean side.

There is more interest in the armed soldier patrolling the shore and the children playing among the corn stalks.

After a few kilometres, the boats turn around and allow North Korean traders to pull up alongside and peddle cigarettes and souvenirs.

The guide warns everyone on board not to take photos, and there is an angry response from the trader when he sees our camera.

Locals in Dandong say North Korea allows the cross-border trips to get a cut of the revenue.

After the latest sanctions, Chinese tourism to North Korea is now one of the few remaining ways for Pyongyang to legally bring in income.

It's estimated about 100,000 tourists — the vast majority Chinese — enter the country each year.

But many more come to Dandong for cross-border day trips and to watch North Korean waitresses perform song and dance routines at joint-venture restaurants.

Those joint ventures have now been banned in the latest round of UN sanctions — raising a question on whether they can legally continue to operate as fully Chinese-owned businesses.

There are signs that local business people are finding ways to get around previous sanctions, such as the importation of North Korean seafood.

"The controls by the Chinese side are now very strict, but there are usually some Chinese fishing boats that are still willing to buy seafood from North Korean trawlers," said one trader at the Donggang port wholesale market near Dandong.

North Korea has made it clear it will continue to work towards the goal of being able to threaten the US with a long-range nuclear missile.

But international gamesmanship seems a world away from the villagers toiling alongside the Yalu River at the border.

Some Chinese tourists yell and wave at them as the boats pass by, hoping for a reaction.

Not once did any of the North Koreans — adults and children alike — show the slightest interest in waving back.
