Re: Chinese Daily Life in Photos & News!

China's consumption has lagged well behind other major economies, because the country was mainly focused on investment and exports. But that is beginning to change, as incomes rise and China re-balances its economy. Picture taken December 6, 2010.
China can learn from the West and tax the hell out of cigarettes before they cause immense economic and health damage. Tax them and educate kids on how bad they are. There is a lot of research in the United States about the negative effects of tobacco later in life, there's really no excuse for China to not heed that research and invest in smoking prevention.

Public outrage over 'police officer' who hits & beats old lady in Changchun
Updated: 08 Dec 2010

In Changchun city near the Ouya Shopping Center across from the Jilin Province Hospital, in the area between the Ouya #1 elevator exit and the original Jilin Pharmacy, a red Mazda6 was surrounded by hundreds of people at times booing and at times shouting: “Come out, come out…”

A car with the license plate G2E222 hit and knocked down an old lady. Inside the Mazda6 were two people, a man and a woman. While driving out of the parking lot, the man had hit the old lady.

The woman inside the car came out to argue with the old lady and her relative. Suddenly, the man in the car got out and attacked the old lady. Passersby who saw this recorded the old lady being attacked on their mobile phones. At the time, the people who had seen this only numbered under 20.

Angrily, they immediately began arguing with the man driving the red Mazda6 which later progressed to this driver of the Mazda6 wanting to drive off only to be intercepted and stopped at the location I first mentioned. Throughout all of this, it is said that this person’s arrogant attitude is what pissed off even more people, [saying things like] “I am police”, “if there is anything I have, it is money”, etc. He had gotten out of the car and beaten the old lady three times, was unruly in his speech, proclaiming “if there is anything I have, it is money, so today I beat you [and so what]“.

This "police officer" and his car were surrounded by thousands of angry people, with the angry crowds trapping this “police officer” in his car for up to 5 hours, and during this time, the sounds of protest were everywhere. Onlookers including the elderly, children, and youth one after another denounced this “police officer’s” atrocious behavior, and there were more and more passersby joining the protesting crowd until the Mazda6 was trapped there for 5 hours.

The police line set up by the police was broken through by the crowd and they began to attack the car. At around 5:15pm, the couple in the car had been taken away by the Chaoyang district police, and the red Mazda6 was already thoroughly smashed.

A Mazda6 with the Baicheng license plate G2E222 hit an old lady while backing up. The middle-aged woman passenger got out of the car to curse and yell at the old lady who had been hit, but seeing that the old lady was not easily swayed, the male driver got off the car, grabbed the old lady’s hair, and beat the old lady with his fists, the old lady’s face immediately covered with blood.

Onlookers were shocked when they saw that the attacker was actually wearing a police uniform!! Soon, the old lady’s family rushed to the scene, and along with the angry crowd of over a thousand people surrounded the Mazda6, shouting that they were going to beat the driver. Seeing this, the driver and woman hid and locked themselves inside the car.

Soon afterward, the impressive Dongbei people began to be impressive, violently smashing the Mazda6, with unidentified objects flying towards the Mazda6. At this moment, it felt like everyone had experience in the artillery corps…camera flashes, and then the anti-riot JC and journalists arrived but it was not obvious that order had been maintained. The injured old lady was sent to the hospital.

Before this incident, the driver had declared that he was not afraid of trouble because money doesn’t matter to him.

The english article seems to be a goodle translate. The chinese article is here:

这个过程中,据说是此人的嚣张态度激怒了更多的人“我是pol.ice”,“我有的是钱”等,下车殴打老太太三次,并出言不驯,扬言“我有的是钱,今天就打你了”。

I was very surprised when I saw those photos. Because I thought sex education was off limits in China.

Will have to see how it turns out in the days ahead.

Not anymore. STDs are becoming a serious concern, particularly amongst the young urbanites. Some of the youngsters are as liberal as as in the west, and there are now the equivalent of "pick-up bars" (but not so blatant as in western countries) in the bigger cities. Just need to know where to look. Having local knowledge helps too.
