"Countless events have proven the fact that real innovation in China does not exist in culture, but in food and medicine. If only just 1% of this creativity was applied in the film industry, Chinese films would no doubt be the world's best." more ›

We have no doubt that Chinese inventors will soon rule the world. Don't believe us? Well, just take a look at this video. Some wonderful company in Jiangsu has apparently invented a sperm collecting machine. Great! With this machine, now sperm banks around the world no longer need to get donors to "do it yourself". The machine boasts of a cylinder pump which they say feels like a vajayjay inside. Like it tighter? Looser? Faster? Slower? All of that, and the height of the pump itself is adjustable. There's also a screen that can play you your favourite porn in a wide variety of file formats while the machine pumps the baby batter out of you. This machine is supposedly great for sufferers of premature ejaculation because it helps to desensitise the penis. Any PE patients out there? Get one from their Alibaba store for the great price of US$2,800 and tell us if it works! more ›

Hey, did anyone know we got a visit from Hu Jintao over the weekend? According to Xinmin.cn, the Chinese president was here from Thursday to Sunday, chatting it up with the people at Shanghai Manufacturing Co. (who're currently working on building the nation's first jetliner) and doing other things to encourage us to "vigorously promote independent innovation, and strive to break into more key technologies." Thanks Hu! We're working on it. more ›

We always thought farming was a pretty exciting lifestyle- all that cyclical plowing, sowing, cultivating, picking and selling sounds like a blast! If you're actually farming, though, the charm wears off after a while, and you feel the need to move on to something more adventurous. Building walking, talking robots is old news, so why not up the ante and build a submarine, an airplane or a tank? more ›

Shanghai-based startup Qifang.cn has been named by the World Economic Forum as one of 34 visionary companies to be part of its Technology Pioneer Community "for their accomplishments as innovators of the highest calibre, and whose technologies will have a deep impact on business and society." This makes the peer-to-peer microlending platform with the sole purpose of helping poor students complete their university education the very first Chinese enterprise to gain the honour. Our several chance encounters with Qifang's CEO Calvin Chin led us to believe this guy has a grand vision of where he wants to take this next. This is one startup you can expect to hear more of in the days ahead. more ›
