Chinese Father Leaps Out Moving car to Save ChildMay 19, 2012
Surveillance footage showed a father jumping out of a moving car to carry his daughter to safety seconds after she tumbled out of the vehicle at a busy intersection in China. Police in Wenzhou, Zhejiang province, said the four-year-old girl had opened the door accidentally while climbing from the back of the car to the front. "I quickly went to take a look. It turned out that the child climbed from the back of the seat to the front while her father was driving, accidentally opened the door and fell out. When it happened, the taxi and all the other cars weren't going too fast, and the taxi braked immediately so it did not hit the child," said Wenzhou police officer Chen Shu. The father, without stopping the moving car, quickly leapt out of the same door to scoop her up off the road. The black car continued its course for about 10 metres before it hit a tree on the curb and came to a halt. Thankfully, the girl escaped the incident with only minor bruises.

This is ChinaMay 18, 2012
China has one of the world's oldest people and continuous civilizations, consisting of states and cultures dating back more than six millennia. It has the world's longest continuously used written language system, and is the source of such major inventions as what the British scholar and biochemist Joseph Needham called the "four great inventions of Ancient China": paper, the compass, gunpowder, and printing. Historically China's cultural sphere has been very influential in East Asia as a whole, with Chinese religion, customs, and writing system being adopted, to varying degrees, by its neighbors Japan, Korea, and Vietnam. ======== Beijingboy1985's E-mail: hsiaowei.sun@gmail.com

The Ka-Ching Dynasty! - ChinaMay 19, 2012
As Europe's economy burns, China booms. To see more go to www.youtube.com Follow us on Facebook (goo.gl or Twitter (www.twitter.com The economic transformation of China has been electrifying. But with Europe teetering and the US plodding, can the biggest tiger of all keep on roaring? China's super-rich certainly think they can. Outside a private Beijing nightclub Porsches, Maseratis and Ferraris compete for space. Inside the club is packed with the children of China's super-rich enjoying a 'palace' themed party. China now has almost a million millionaires, six hundred billionaires, and the numbers keep growing at a staggering rate. As a reporter for the Hurun Report rich-list points out, they are a force to be reckoned with: "certainly we need to be aware of and understand this group." Even more striking is the bravado of China's super-rich, who feel that they can keep going from strength to strength. "I met an entrepreneur last week who said that if all goes to plan, in ten years time his business will be ten times the size it is now". The focus is certainly on quick growth. Current projections say that in ten years time half the world's billionaires will come from China. While there are warnings signs that the economic woes of Europe and the US will hit China, China's super-rich don't seem concerned. For some the hope is that the Chinese market will pick up the slack. For others, who have only known the good times, anything else is unthinkable: "if I have any spare ...
Inside China's secret 'black jails'May 18, 2012
China is set to pass a landmark criminal procedure law to provide more rights to detainees, including rendering all evidence collected under torture unusable, granting suspects immediate access to a lawyer, and obliging authorities to tell families within 24 hours of a relative's detention. But for those held in China's so-called 'black jails' - secret detention centres where people are kept without charge and without having been formally arrested - what is written in law can be very different to what happens on the ground. Melissa Chan joins relatives of the missing seeking answers about their family members at one such facility in Beijing in this Al Jazeera exclusive.
Philippines-China maritime row hurts fishermenMay 18, 2012
Tensions between China and the Philippines remain high amid a continuing stalemate over the disputed, resource-rich Scarborough Shoal. China has maritime spats with several countries, including the Philippines, in the South China Sea, believed to be rich in oil and gas and crossed by important shipping lanes, and its neighbours fear its growing naval reach in staking claim to a number of disputed areas. Situated between the Philippines and China, Scarborough Shoal has long provided a living for Filipino and Chinese fishermen. The dispute over the group of islands began on April 10 when the Philippine navy accused Chinese ships of fishing there illegally. Since the row started, China's increasing maritime presence in the area has forced many Philippine fishermen to stay at bay, severely reducing their livelihood, in fear of exacerbating tensions. Al Jazeera's Marga Ortigas reports from the west coast of the Philippines.
