Cyberwar? China hijacks US government and military web traffic

Cyberwar? China hijacks US government and military web traffic

Despite Chinese people being some of the most enthusiastic internet users in the world, we all know that China and the internet don’t exactly go hand in hand…actually that’s probably an understatement. We are all subjected to the great firewall of China, but it seems that the government (accidentally?) opened the gates earlier this year; but instead of removing the censorship, they hijacked US web traffic. more ›

Hunan TV to make Chinese version of <em>Ugly Betty</em>

Hunan TV to make Chinese version of Ugly Betty

Well, it's all over the news. Hunan TV is going to do a Chinese version of the hit US TV show Ugly Betty. According to a report from the BBC, the lead character—the Chinese Betty—has already been chosen. A Chinese article that we read, dated March 7, says that Hunan TV wants to hold nation-wide auditions to find the ugliest girl possible. So we're not sure what the case is, but in any case, whoever is chosen will soon have their identity known to the world, because the show is supposed to start shooting in April. The plans are to stretch the show out over ten seasons, with about 40 episodes each, for a total of 400 episodes. However, unlike in the US, there aren't going to be longish breaks between seasons (and presumably, no writers' strikes either). more ›
