Test Questions
Test questions from the 2005 gaokao.
Anatomy of a bogus drug ad
When I opened my paper yesterday evening, I discovered a garish four-page insert from a company called Warner advertising a product called “Shark” 帅克. My suspicions were aroused by the unnumbered pages and curious celebrity endorsements, and a quick survey of other news kiosks confirmed that this ad did not come from the Mirror distribution center.

China’s illegal yellow press
On the left is the front page of ‘Military News’, a newspaper without masthead, contact phone number or any kind of publication licence (required by Chinese law). The paper was purchased on the Beijing subway for two yuan, which is relatively expensive, as most of the city’s daily newspapers cost only half a yuan.

Self-censorship: the 2,000 pound rhinoceros on the dining table
In sum, the Chinese government’s censorial authority in recent times has resembled not so much a man-eating tiger or fire-snorting dragon as a giant anaconda coiled in an overhead chandelier. Normally the great snake doesn’t move. It doesn’t have to. It feels no need to be clear about its prohibitions. Its constant silent message is “You yourself decide.”

Men behind the Nanny
The Publicity Department (formerly known as the Propaganda Department) has held a “forum” in Beijing to promote what it calls “news editorial staff management regulations (in testing phase)”. These regulations appear to be same the set of rules earlier reported on Danwei of which the stated intent is to clear up corrupt journalistic practices.

Lip-Service: Lip-Synching in Chinese Pop Music
by David Moser
When we showed up at the studio for the taping, we discovered that there was no microphone for our singer, no recording equipment or hookups for our amplifiers, and not even any electrical outlets on the stage. “How are we supposed to do our number?” I asked the studio crew. They looked at us incredulously. “You actually want to sing the song live?” they said
