Video: Woman types 520 Chinese characters per minute

For those of you wondering how Chinese people can actually type all those weird-looking complex characters, this video will surely make you go WTF@*#$! With the help of a Yawei Steno Kit (亚伟中文速录机) which possesses only 14 keys, and which we're told appears at almost every press conference here, this lady by the name of Huang Xia hacks out 520 Chinese characters per minute. Apparently, the official record for stenotyping in American English today is 375 words per minute. As any China Twitterer will inform you, every 100 characters in Chinese can contain a ton more information than 100 characters in English. Hand this lady a 100,000 character novel and she will finishing typing it for you in 192.3 minutes.
