A Shanghai Daily story provides example number 1,029,349 why the Shanghai real estate market is so ridiculously inflated. With 47 square meter, semi-serviced studio apartments at Shanghai Centre going for $2,300 a month, it's no wonder Shanghai consistently manages to rank as one of the most expensive cities in the world ... all with the help of clueless foreign companies throwing piles of money at employee housing. According to the story: more ›

Last month, aging kung-fu fighter Jackie Chan pleaded for more Chinese women to marry westerns and spread Sino culture all over the whole freakin’ globe. Good ol' Hef must have heard the call because Playboy got a rise from western male readers with its first ever Chinese-born cover girl. more ›
