By Ed Flanagan, NBC News
BEIJING – China has welcomed millions of eager new drivers onto its increasingly congested roads in the last few years.

None appear as young as this young whippersnapper.

Ever-popular China blog, Shanghaiist, pointed us toward this disturbing video of what appears to be a young girl around the age of 4 or 5 casually driving a small sedan down the streets of a Chinese city.

Even more surprising though is the fact that she is apparently accompanied by two adults – presumably her parents – who encourage her as she navigates early morning traffic (the clock at one point shows 7:00 a.m.).


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Drive safely,” says the woman holding the camera at the beginning of the clip to the young girl as she starts down the street, her head barely reaching over the wheel. Later, about 40 seconds in to the video clip, the young girl brightly notes that the “flowers are starting to bloom” as she passes a large SUV before a man in the back reminds her again to drive carefully and pay attention to the road.

Later about 1:05 into the clip, the bubbly girl actually makes a fairly deft pass around a car in front of them that is waiting at a stoplight to make a left turn.

The question of how this young girl’s legs were able to reach the gas and break pedals is answered at the end of the clip when the girl stops the car and a man comes around and appears to remove some sort of extension pedals from beneath the driver’s area.

Understandably, the video created instant outrage among netizens in China. “We need to prosecute this little girl’s parents for endangering public safety!” called out one user of the popular Chinese video site, Youku. Another called upon the now legendary searching prowess of Chinese web users – known colloquially as the “human flesh search engine” – to be employed to search for the parents, saying “I demand a human flesh search! Punish these brain damaged parents!”

However, some users were impressed with her adept driving skills and her coolness on the road, a trait not always apparent on China’s modern roadways. “Her driving skills are good and it seems that she likes driving,” said another user before continuing, “maybe in the future she can keep learning about driving a car, but now this is very unsafe and way irresponsible.”

Our sentiments exactly.

Sony's new tablet computers failed to excite gadget reviewers and analysts who criticised the pricing and quality of the devices, underscoring the battle Sony faces regaining its consumer electronics crown.

Sony Corp is already late to the game with its first tablet, which hits stores this month, more than a year and a half after Apple Inc launched the blockbuster iPad and almost a year since Samsung Electronics Co Ltd came out with the GalaxyTab. Samsung's Galaxy occupies the No 2 slot in tablets that Sony is targeting.

Reviewers and analysts highlighted a high price and features that suggested Sony would remain an also-ran rather than a leader in the tablet market. Two versions of Sony's main tablet cost $499 and $599, the same price as two lower-end Apple iPad models.

The Rabbit King, also called "Tu Ye" is a traditional toy made from mud during the Mid-Autumn Day (August 15 on China's lunar calendar) in Jinan. In ancient times, besides admiring the full moon, every family worshiped the Rabbit King during the festival. Although worshipping is no longer commonplace, Rabbit King's cute look is still attractive to the young people today.

bd popeye, that was an excellent joke about hot dogs and buns!

Came across this piece of news about PRC & US cooperating against child porn. Just goes to show what is possible when the 2 countries decide to cooperate.

China and FBI bust US-based child porn websites

* Staff Reporter
* 2011-08-26
* 12:30 (GMT+8)

Authorities in China and the United States together shut down a chain of membership-based, Chinese-language pornographic websites targeting Chinese-speaking internet users in China, the US and other countries.

Along with more than ten coworkers, Wang Yong, the websites' primary operator, was arrested in the United States on June 23 by the FBI, China's Ministry of Public Security said in a statement on Thursday.

Wang left China from the southeast province of Fujian in January 2002 aged 19 and has allegedly operated the illicit websites since at least 2007. He eventually controlled 48 porn websites.

In China, 18 of Wang's websites offered child pornography, prompting some criminals to commit further crimes including rape, according to the ministry.

According to Chinese law, individuals convicted of producing, copying, publishing, selling or distributing pornography face jail terms of ten years to life.

Chinese police had kept a close eye on Wang's websites, which had more than ten million members, for a long time, arresting hundreds of the sites' administrators in China. However, police in China were unable to destroy the chain's source as its main servers and operators were based in the US.

In April 2010, Chinese authorities and the FBI began cooperating on cracking down on the website chain based on their mutual aim to curb the spread of child pornography. The crackdown on the websites marks a first in successful cooperation between Chinese and American police forces.
