Do you believe there are UFOs or aliens living among us? You're not alone!
GoKunming interviews Zhang Yifang, founder and former director of the Kunming UFO Research Association and the organizer of the 2009 International Astronomy Year and Extraterrestrial Life Forum about
extraterrestrial activity in China.
The dismal state of sex education in China is illustrated by this post on
China Hush about the reaction of a small town to a 14-year-old girl who managed to
keep her pregnancy secret until she gave birth to the baby in her dorm room.
The disaster movie
2012 has been under the spotlight for its perceived
positive,
neutral, and negative portrayals of China. But the comments translated by
ChinaSMACK hint that people are getting a little bored of nitpicking over anything that might possibly be construed as negative about China's role in big foreign movies.
For all those pondering the potential of tennis in China after the
low turnout for the ATP Champions Tour in Chengdu this month,
China Sports Today has an interview touching on these matters with rising
tennis star Zhang Shuai.
Naturally, much of the China blogosphere is buzzing about U.S. President Obama's three-day visit to China this week. Adam Minter of
Shanghai Scrap was
deeply unimpressed with the phrase "big supporter of non-censorship", while Sam Crane at
the Useless Tree notes the negative coverage and
rises to Obama's defense (Requires proxy).
China Digital Times and
China Beat do a good job of
summarizing (requires proxy) media coverage, and the
New York Times Room for Debate blog invites opinions from scholars on China about whether or not Obama was
too soft in approaching China's leaders on the issue of human rights.
And in an amusing piece (yes, there is one this week!), Evan Osnos of the
New Yorker writes about the experiences of the
press corps that follow the president on trips abroad.
