This map is pretty cool.
It shows all the places where China plans to have the relay torch pass through….
San Francisco, the only US stop.
Nagano is the only Japan stop.
Seoul, Canberra, Jakarta….

Beijing is trying to clean up its actors…the spitter and those who litter.

3. Olympic venues
4. scenic spots in the Chinese capital
The aim is [...]

Here’s a collection of the 20 most feminine Chinese women (Chinese translation) as selected by Chinese Good Housekeeping Magazine.

The Rupert-Murdoch-controlled social networking site, MySpace, has taken aim at China's 137 million and growing Internet users.
"MySpace China introduced itself as a 'locally owned, operated and managed company' in which News Corp-owned MySpace Inc was only one among several investors."
The reasons…an expert on Asian technology issues says…"There's no example of foreign Internet companies coming into [...]
