here the late night news today 08.11.14



no. 1 message:
Students will not go to the APEC SUMMIT in Beijing - one already refused entry to Shenzhen
no. 2 message:
Tung Chee Wa not responding in a proper way - just as a tape recorder
no.. 3 message:
Emily we really love your statement in that interview - Carrie Lam & CY Leung can you still sleep ?

And then afer all that occupy things in the news: About corruption in China esp in the Government - nice ! And the remaining bunch of folks are all that trustworthy ? 18,000 fled China in the last 20 years or so with a whooping 800 billion RMB (believe it or not - maybe it is much more). Corruption is everywhere in China - some examples here:

1) You are a factory owner with a local registration ? You will have multiply visits form officials for "inspection" and then being asked RMB 800 per visitor. Need a receipt ? No problem then it is 1,800.

2) You register a small WOFE ? Good guy - honest business guaranteed for you only. Soon some guys will come confiscate all your computer equipment - and then you can buy it back a few days later.

3) Any trouble with troublesome workers ? Easy job. Go to the next police station - tell the uniformed guys your problem - fork out a few hundred for each of them. They will come your place & take care the problem.

4) All is very creative and always welcome new ideas. Whatever can bring a few buck is welcome.

5) You are such kind of idiot to order Luis Vuitton bags online with a China supplier ? Good you get together with the fake bag an "original receipt" from the LV shop in Prince Buildings in HKG + a fake copy of a credit card receipt - all with your name on it - VERY COOL. You are safe if any customs officer in EU or USA challenge you about the IP of that bag.

6) Need more ? At an International Exhibition recently in Shanghai outside hawkers selling fake badges for RMB 10 per piece. Inside you had a lot of hawkers foe fake watches - some guys passed nice nam,e cards with half naked woman pictures - this was apparently some kind of hookers advertisement.

CHEERS - WELCOME TO CHINA !

We are one country .......

and then here is a nice one about this topic:

And here is the song about that LOCUST story ........

enjoy it:


Here another version in Cantonese only - but different video:

About That Hong Kong ‘Locust’ Ad…

....here a little bit more info about that topic - this is from here !
quote
A Hong Kong newspaper ad decried Chinese visitors as ‘locusts.’ The text asks, ‘Are you willing for Hong Kong to spend one million Hong Kong dollars every 18 minutes to raise the children born to mainland parents?’

Hong Kong’s latest fissure with China deepened Wednesday after a popular local newspaper published an advertisement slamming mainland Chinese as “locusts” who swarm the city and drain its resources.

“Hong Kong people, we have endured enough in silence,” said the ad, which ran in the Apple Daily, a Chinese-language paper with an average daily circulation of about 288,000 in the first half of 2011, according to Hong Kong’s Audit Bureau of Circulations.

The full-page ad, which shows a locust looking at the Hong Kong skyline, was paid for by an online fund-raising campaign on Facebook and local site Hong Kong Golden Forum, which received more than 100,000 Hong Kong dollars (US$12,900) from 800 donors in a week.

A man who identified himself over the phone as “Mr. Poon” and goes by the name of Yung Jhong online said he organized the campaign. He said he was inspired to act after seeing news stories about mainland Chinese mothers who crossed the border to bear children in Hong Kong so that their offspring could obtain Hong Kong citizenship and the benefits that come along with it. Local authorities say that some 40,000 mainland Chinese mothers gave birth in Hong Kong hospitals last year, straining the local health-care system.
“People want to protect the city for their kids, protect the education and health-care system,” he said. “Hong Kongers are welcoming to everybody, even those from China, to come and visit and shop. But they have to follow our rules, which is why we feel like we have to say something.”

One comment from my side:
The issue of mainland mothers giving birth in Hong Kong is a serious problem. You need to know that if the baby is born in Hong Kong it will be automatically a "permanent resident".
If the baby gets older - becoming an adult - this "baby" easily can apply for dependent visas for the parents, means the parents can permanently stay in Hong Kong. Do the math yourself - we are talking about an increase of several 100,000's of people living in Hong Kong within the next 20 years.......

Hong Kong 'locust' ad angers Chinese web users

During being away the debate got somewhat more heated........Now see this ------ bloggers from China recommend China Shoppers not to go Hong Kong for shopping.......please be aware how much MONEY Hong Kong people spend on the mainland for travelling, entertainment (whatever category.......) + besides the Hong Kong tourism - how much Hong Kong investments are pouring into China since more than 3 decades. So you better shut up - you penny-picking mainland tourists spending your BLACK MONEY in Hong Kong......Besides this we dont care if LV, Gucci or Prada will lose some turnover because of you not coming here. Because besides of this stupid LV + Chanel shopping everything else they are spending here is very LOW BUDGET !

Hong Kong 'locust' ad angers Chinese web users
SHANGHAI — Chinese netizens voiced anger Thursday over a Hong Kong advert portraying mainlanders as "locusts", sparking a call for calm in a state newspaper after an increasingly bitter exchange of words.

The advert was published in Hong Kong's widely-read Apple Daily Wednesday by an anonymous group in retaliation for comments made by Chinese professor Kong Qingdong, who called locals of the former British colony "dogs".

"How dare Hong Kong people have the courage to say we are locusts. No one should go to Hong Kong," said Reneeshou on Sina's popular microblog service.

"This shows a limited sense of appreciation (towards China) and a lack of tolerance of an international city," another commented.

The full-page advert demanded action to stop mainland Chinese "infiltration" of the territory, showing a huge locust overlooking Hong Kong's skyline with the words "Hong Kongers have had enough!" and "This city is dying, you know?"

Mainlanders are a key source of revenue for Hong Kong, but there is growing discontent over the thousands of mainland women who come to give birth in the territory every year, taking up limited beds and pushing up costs.

Many Hong Kongers also dislike the shadowy role that Beijing plays in local politics and the flashy displays of wealth by mainland Chinese tourists.

Mainlanders, for their part, complain people from Hong Kong -- which is part of China but enjoys more economic and political freedom -- look down on them.

Kong made the comments in an online, broadcast interview last week after a video of Hong Kongers scolding a mainland woman for disregarding rules and eating on a train went viral on the Internet.

"Originally, I didn't agree with Kong Qingdong, but after seeing the Apple Daily ad, I just want to say that these people really are mad dogs," one outraged web user wrote.

However, others admitted the behaviour of mainland Chinese travellers in Hong Kong could be improved.

"I do not like the Apple newspaper ad, but I think people who have been to Hong Kong should reflect on what they did. The quality of behaviour should be improved," another comment read.

The recent, barbed exchanges have prompted the official Global Times newspaper to call for calm.

In an editorial Thursday, the newspaper said China and Hong Kong should grow closer on the basis of a "shared identity".

"The mixed mutual feelings are making things more complicated. More efforts are needed from both the mainland and Hong Kong," it said.

The nuts professor Kong Qingdong: "Did I say Hongkongers are dogs? I didn't,"

is now saying that he has never said this................about Hong Kong people "are dogs" and other really disgusting comments.
Click here for the full story !
quote
However, according to a SCMP report on Sunday, the professor had denied calling Hong Kong citizens “running dogs for the British government”, adding that both mainland and Hong Kong media outlets had “maliciously twisted his speech”.
"Did I say Hongkongers are dogs? I didn't," he was quoted by SCMP as saying. "I request all media outlets which have twisted my speech to apologise."
You can watch the video here.

So this professor now is demanding the media to apologise to him.....??? So what you can see in that video is all a "trap", it is all words "later changed" or what ? By the way this is the typical lousy chinese attitude of not taking personal responsibility for things done personally especially the wrong things.

Always the "bad guy" is "somebody else". It is never "me".

This attitude is what makes it so difficult for all to run proper business with many of chinese companies. They still do not understand one principle:
It is not to blame who was doing something wrong - it is to find a way how to avoid this "mistakes" in future and to have a better performance. 

People make mistakes - if they are chinese or whatever nationality - this is normal life.

In chinese business life the so-called "loose face" attitude is much too much exxagerated - this is old-fashioned. Besides this despite being a chinese - everybody has a "face", if chinese or not.

The idea of learning from the own mistakes is NOT existing (because it is always "somebody else"doing that mistake).

University professor Kong Qingdong - some more here !

After this racist comments from that professor (just wondering what he is telling his students about Hong Kong or foreigners.....). Now it seems that he denies having said this & that this was some make up by the TV Station (similar to that - I cannot find the source anymore - but I read it earlier today online....).
So here some comments for you - this is interesting:

Hong Kong people are dogs !

This is a professor spreading his "opinion" about Hong kong people live in TV - slightly disgusting. It seems later he apologised for his talking - but it doesn't matter he apologise or not: It seems this guy is full of prejudice against Hong Kong people & "over - proud" of being a "mainland chinese".
Actually if you have been to the mainland already & especially often & not only in the glitzy cities like Shanghai - you know how dirty it is everywhere in the mainland & what kind of behavior the people have there..........(by the way there are still a lot of streets in Shanghai the people let the kids pee & shit on the street..........).

Watch: Bitchfight between mainland tourists eating on the Hong Kong MTR with local passengers

quote
A video of a quarrel between mainland tourists caught snacking on a Hong Kong subway train with local passengers has burnt up the internets in both Hong Kong and the mainland. Since the video was uploaded to Youtube five days ago, it has racked up half a million views, and a few hundred thousand more on various Chinese video sites. Here's a quick summary of what happens in the video:

At the start of the video, a Hong Kong man demands an apology from the girl and her mother but the tourists refuse, saying it is not a big deal. Others then join in on both sides.

One of the Hongkongers presses the emergency button and notifies platform staff. An MTR employee tells the tourists they can't eat inside the train and a mainland woman says sorry in English. A Hong Kong man then says sarcastically: "Oh, she knows English".

A mainland woman tries to explain the situation to the MTR staff member but is interrupted by the Hongkongers as the quarrel resumes. At the end of the video, a Hong Kong man says: "No need to speak to them. That's what mainlanders are like."
Huang Xiangyang, senior writer at the China Daily, describes the video as a "symbol of the 'culture clash' between Hong Kong and the mainland":
Internet users from the mainland overwhelmingly pointed to Hong Kong residents' sense of superiority - something that was routinely felt by the less wealthy mainlanders when they visited Hong Kong before its return to the motherland in 1997 - only a very few took a neutral stand, noting that mainland tourists should learn to behave themselves while Hong Kong people should be more tolerant and not overact.

I would no doubt have reacted in the same way as most of my mainland compatriots if I had not lived in Hong Kong for five years. In fact, I was expecting to experience discrimination when I was first sent to the city in 2000 to work for the local bureau of our newspaper.

After all, I had experienced not so subtle discrimination in big cities such as Shanghai where I could not speak the local dialects. Given Hong Kong's history as a British colony for more than 150 years, what more could I expect?

Yet my fears never materialized. Instead, my five years living and working in Hong Kong are some of my most pleasant memories. Instead of enmity and discrimination, I was shown hospitality and care by the local people, who were always polite and ready to help.

And here some part with english subtitles:


Controversial ultra-nationalist Peking University professor and 73rd generation descendant of Confucius Kong Qingdong (孔庆东), who recently handed out the Confucius Peace Prize to Vladimir Putin via two Russian babes, does not like the Hong Kong MTR bitchfight that we just saw taking place between mainland tourists and local passengers. He has some harsh words for the people of Hong Kong, who he thinks are mostly bastards, running dogs of the British, and thieves. With English subtitles thanks to Youtuber @languagelover7.

This is one in the first video in this post ! Kong Qingdong is his name & he is a Beijing University professor !

News on China Corruption

We all know chinese people in whatever position are easily getting victims of their own greed. If it is in micro-small, small, big, bigger, huge or enormous amounts - it doesnt matter. Everybody like to "take advantage of possibilities". The idea that this maybe not "right" or "against some law" is almost not existing, because "everybody" is doing it. As said before micro-small for example is the market woman cheating the foreigner or unknown customer for a few RMB.....big for example is the guy in the factory cheating you for RMB 2 per meter on a 50,000 meter order of jersey, because he simply buy it at cheaper source and lower quality & smaller fabric width.....with the result that during production they are running out of material because the calculation for the consumption was "misleading"...and so on and so on......About the big shots you can read here. There is still a lot to be done by the Government to tackle that problem. And that problem is A BIG PROBLEM:

More SOEs caught up in corruption: report

Global Times | January 16, 2012 01:05
Over 200 entrepreneurs were involved in 199 criminal cases in China last year that saw a total of 1.4 billion yuan ($222 million) embezzled or exchanged in bribes, according to an annual report on crimes committed by entrepreneurs released Sunday.

The report was jointly published by Faren Magazine, subsidiary of the Legal Daily, and the King and Capital Law Firm.

The number of entrepreneurs involved in crimes was 95 in 2009, 155 in 2010 and 202 last year, the Legal Daily reported Sunday.

Among the 199 cases, 88 involved entrepreneurs from State-owned enterprises (SOEs) whose average age was 53, and 111 of them involved private companies’ entrepreneurs whose average age was 46, according to the report.

Wang Rongli, a researcher with Faren Magazine and author of the report, told the Global Times that the cases were all taken from widespread news reports that he has collected for the past year.

"I have 10 years of experience working in SOEs as a legal advisor and witnessed several managers sent to jail," Wang said.

Wang added there were 76 entrepreneurs from SOEs who were convicted of a total of 122 crimes, of which 92 were bribery and corruption related crimes.

Forty of the 202 entrepreneurs were also former deputies to the National People’s Congress (NPC) or members of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), the report found.

Huang Jianhua, former CEO of the State-owned Hebei Port Group Company and also a Hebei NPC deputy, was sentenced to death with two years’ probation in November last year for receiving bribes of over 20 million yuan, according to the Legal Daily.

"One unique trend in China is more and more government authorities are involved in commercial competition," Li Shuguang, deputy director of the Graduate School with the China University of Political Science and Law, said at Sunday’s press conference.

Li explained that more government officials were becoming CEOs or managers of companies, which was the reason why more SOEs were becoming involved in corruption.

About 40 percent of the cases involving entrepreneurs that the King and Capital Law Firm dealt with since 2000 were related to people taking advantage of their position.

Wang Jiuchuan, a lawyer with the King and Capital law firm who attended the conference, suggested the entrepreneurs maintain a distance from the government, and learn to balance their interests among family members to prevent corruption.

By the way: Also Hong Kong is far away from being free of corruption. Very well I remember when my first boss here in Hong Kong (this was a german) told me one day: "Why shall I pay my staff too high salary - they anyhow take from the factories.....". This was a company running several 100,000 of pcs production a month for a well-known german brand. Very much I remember at other occasions a german managing director of another famous brand was coming to visit the office (this guy normally stayed in THE PENINSULA) - after doing some normal work this guy always needed to meet the directors of this company for a short moment.....for what ? My boss clearly told me: "He needs to pick up his commission........". This was most probably an amount of between HKD 200,000 - 500,000 each visit - surely then the accommodation in THE PENINSULA was no problem.
So - if you offer they take easily. Only the honest ones are the loosers !

Chinese business attitude - No moral No ethics - Just Rude & Greedy !

Labelled with "China Dirt" as it is clear that in general chinese business attitude is simply DIRT.
Now almost 15 years here & I cannot see any change into something positive with most of our suppliers & I have this confirmed by many colleagues:
Shortsighted Greed - this is the final solution.
Business manner ? Ethics ? Moral ? Behavior !
These words are not existing in Chinese Language !
Short story here:
One of our main suppliers since 5 years - we always paid him upfront (as he always complaining need money).
Suddenly we find a lot of other goods (not from us) in his factory.
90% of his capacity was used by us. All material supplied by us.
So today he is telling us a big bull shit of  his losses blah blah blah ....................
And he does not want to continue with us (actually the last 5 years we made him survive & build up his facilities). Do not await any words of thank !
His new customer a local internet seller on Tabao or whatever kind of internet service is placing so
big orders to him. As he is saying full of PRIDE !
We have borrowed him money all the time ...............
He is holding a lot of stock fabrics of us !
I have already told him today:
Once the door is shut - you never ever ask me again to give you some orders !
That made him rather nervous !

Clue: All the books want to tell you the truth of China Business Etiquette - all rubbish - just scratching the surface !
Once you have to deal with the real Chinese - then you will find out better !
Be careful !
By the way - do not forget this:
Most of the achievements made in China business over the last 2 or 3 decades - ALL WAS COMING INITIALLY FROM THE OUTSIDE by placing it to them.
Conclusion: The big bucks they are making is also coming from the outside.
Innovation from China - barely non - existent.
The only point is COPIES.

Another story from Foshan !

This Foshan seems to be really a wonderful place with a lot of people there "having a real heart" - please read the below and you can find a related video on chinasmack here.
This one is from THE TELEGRAPH:

China hospital disposes of live baby

A hospital in south China has suspended four medical workers for mistakenly diagnosing a stillbirth and disposing of a baby By
9:04AM GMT 04 Nov 2011

Health authorities in Guangdong province have launched an investigation into the incident on October 26 at the Nanhai Red Cross Hospital in Foshan city, the Beijing News reported.
Liu Dongmei - eight months pregnant - had been rushed to the hospital with internal bleeding and stomach cramps. She later had an emergency birth, but the baby was neither breathing nor crying when it came out and its skin had turned purple, the report said.
Believing it was dead, the medical team disposed of the child but did not follow proper hospital procedures, it added.
When Liu's sister-in-law asked to see the body around 30 minutes after birth, she was handed a yellow plastic bag containing the infant and found it was still alive, said the Foshan News, a local website.
“I opened the plastic bag and saw the baby's hands and feet moving, the stomach was going up and down and air bubbles were coming out of his mouth," the paper quoted her as saying. She was further shocked when she saw the baby was a boy - not a girl as the family had been told, it said.

According to the Foshan News, nurses had told the family the child was a girl in an effort to blunt the blow of its death. In China, baby boys are often viewed as more precious than girls, as many families can have only one child as part of the nation's population policy and desire a male heir.
Following the discovery, the newborn was rushed to intensive care where he remains in stable condition.

Officials at the hospital and Foshan's Nanhai health bureau refused to comment on the incident when contacted by the AFP news agency.
China's healthcare system - once widely praised for improving the health of millions - is now panned as costly, underfunded and providing shoddy treatment, especially in poorer regions.
Liu and her husband are seeking to sue the hospital for 300,000 yuan (£30,000), the Beijing News said.
The head of the maternity ward, a doctor and two nurses have been suspended pending the results of the investigation, it added.

There are rumours now that this was an organized attempt in baby - selling, just telling the parents the newborn is dead - disposing it somewhere and later let it dissappear - means sell it to somebody !

Not enough yet about disgusting things ?

Here you go ! Just a few weeks ago this has happened in Shanghai - you read below later. Just coming back from a meeting with a good friend (almost 20 years in China now) - we both have agreed on following: The overall attitude of people in the bigger (1st, 2nd & even 3rd tier chinese cities) cities is getting more crazy, disrespectful + simply horrible. And still the "china drunkeness" of foreign "investors", foreign employees etc. seems never to end.
Do you all really know the truth with whom you are dealing with ? Do you ever question about the "business structures"you have to obey to ? Are you sure that this is all safe & "good & honest" business ?
Anyhow here now "enjoy" that nice story about an AUDI driver killing a parking maid in Shanghai rich district Xuhui (this is from here)
quote
 Crazy Audi driver in Xuhui refuses to pay parking fee, kills meter maid.
A 40-year-old man has been apprehended by police after crushing a meter maid to death with his car over a disputed parking fee. The scene unfolded this morning at 10:30am in Xuhui District on Dong'An Road near XieTu Road.
Witnesses (Chinese link) described seeing the man and the meter maid arguing by the side of the road. The man was parked in a fee zone and was attempting to drive away without paying when the meter maid stepped in front of the car in an attempt to force him to stop. The man continued forward regardless, knocking the attendant over and dragging her under the wheels of the car.
Passersby quickly moved to rescue the meter maid by lifting the vehicle off of her, whereupon she was rushed to the hospital, but she died shortly after.
After the incident, the Audi driver got out of the car looking extremely scared, took out his cellphone and walked to the street corner where he was eventually apprehended by police.
In that area of Shanghai, the cost of parking is a paltry 15RMB per hour.
With the recent Li Shuangjiang incident, and the infamous "My Dad is Li Gang" debacle, not to mention scores of other cases, we have to ask: should luxury sedan owners in China be required to undergo regular psychiatric evaluations?

Chinese Men...............

seems to be a very special species: Especially if they are so-called officials of whatever small county, village etc. They have power and they abuse it: Taking advantages (bribes) whenever possible, being corrupt in the real meaning of this word. Besides this surely heavy drinking, big mouth attitude, cheating on their wives & families, beating others - simply said: They are above any law (in their idea / mind-set). Mostly they get in trouble because of some whistleblowing of envy, greedy compagnions or of the CCTV footage (which is almost everywhere in China) catching them during "action".
This one is from March this year - quite brutal. The guy in the red jacket is the security staff at this hotel.
Please read and then see the video by the CCTV of that hotel.
Yibin County [Sichuan province] group of men beating women exposed by surveillance camera, perpetrator suspected of being deputy captain of the traffic police. (This is the guy in black with the bag at his shoulder).
Truly completely lawless, barbaric, outrageous!!! Quoted from a discussion forum: They were caught off guard and completely amazed, subconsciously protecting themselves: “Why are you touching me? We are good girls, not out to sell ourselves.” The other party arrogantly replied: “So what if I touched you?” … Ultimately, it escalated into this scene.





update on the below: The said guy with the bag on his shoulder, the so-called "deputy captain of the traffic police"- it seems he rather tried to ease the trouble - he did not beat anybody - at least not seen on this CCTV footage. But it seems he is hanging around with the wrong kind of people.

And here a few days ago:
Female cadre uses real name to report being raped by county Disabled Persons’ Federation Chairman while drunk
Summary: Recently, Sichuan Pengan County a female Safety Supervision Bureau cadre using her real name claimed online that around noon on October 19th, she and the local Administration of Work Safety Deputy Director Zhang Sen and Pengan County Disabled Persons’ Federation Chairman Liu Xiquan were drinking together and after she became drunk, the two men carried her into a hotel then Li Xiquan raped her. In response, officials have expressed that they will seriously investigate this matter and at present, the relevant individuals involved have already been suspended and are under investigation.

Here we go again: Crazy driving killing again a kid in a very cruel way !

Who knows China & ever been travelling in cities by car or even better on highways or roads knows it:
Chinese driving skills / knowledge are below 0 for 90% of all the drivers. Crazy speeding, crazy lane changing, no distance keeping, aggressive driving in general: THE ROAD IS MINE - DO NOT GET INTO MY WAY !
Penalty system is weak - non - existing, traffic police can be easily bribed - result almost 80,000 dead only by traffic accidents each year - figures rising. So whenever you have to think about traveling in China - if you can take a train - better take a train - dont rely on the crazy drivers.
Here another sad story happened a few days ago -this one is from the shanghaiist
In wake of Yueyue's passing, another child-death tragedy strikes in Sichuan
Luzhou Evening News brings us a report from October 20 that in Luding County, Sichuan Province, Luzhou City, a truck knocked down a five-year-old child returning home from school, causing the child to die on the spot. Luzhou citizens have claimed the accident was actually cold-blooded murder.
The victim, five year old Xiong Maoke, was still in kindergarten. His mother recounted the horror of what happened, eyes red with tears. After school, 11 am, Xiong Maoke and several children left to go home whereupon they were involved in what appeared to be a simple accident.
Zhang Shifen witnessed the accident. "I saw the truck coming, the children were walking by the side of the road, not in the street." Zhang Shifen recalls the truck didn't hit Xiong Maoke directly, but rather cuffed his ear. "He fell, but after being knocked over, immediately stood up again and bent over to pick up his umbrella. "
The next scene left Zhang speechless, "I saw the truck move back a little and then move forward again, Xiong Maoke became wrapped up in the wheel, and then the truck continued forward another 10 meters." Zhang Shifen said she was standing behind the truck, and clearly saw a child under the wheels had been badly mutilated. She shouted at the driver, "What are you doing? Will you stop!" The driver stopped, got out, swore, and turned away.
He then asked, "How much should I pay?"
The driver, Ao Yong, 35, denies he stopped the truck the first time Xiong Maoke was hit. He refuses to talk about his behavior after the accident, but maintains, "I will compensate them (the family members) however much they want."
Police are investigating the incident and are working with the driver and villagers to ascertain what transpired and whether or not it was an accident or something more sinister.
For witnesses and friends of Xiong Maoke's family, this "accident" was a deliberate child murder as brutal and heartless as the death of Yueyue that gripped the nation and the world earlier this week.
In the Yueyue case, the driver who ran her over was infamously quoted as saying "If she is dead, I may pay only about 20,000 yuan ($3,125). But if she is injured, it may cost me hundreds of thousands yuan."
