From artbook publisher extraordinaire Taschen comes this oversized
collection of Chinese Propaganda Posters, faithfully reproduced and
annotated with scholarly essays. I couldn't put this down in the
bookstore -- it was only the fact that I've already got thousands of
books in storage and not a lot of room in my suitcase that stopped me
from buying it.

Spammers With Automated Phone Calls
12/15/2003 02:26 AMIt appears that authorities in Shanghai are picking up on one
anti-spam method: spamming back the spammers to knock them out of
commission. The BBC is reporting that a system has been set up to
automatical
ly call phone numbers found posted in posters and fliers around the
city once an hour, telling people to take down the illegal posters
(and to pay a fine). After a couple days of hourly annoyance, the
system will
increase the rate of calls to the point where phone
numbers found in such posters should expect to receive one such
automated call every eight minutes. The only way to stop the calls?
Pay a fine or disconnect the phone number.

Chinese Standing Up
Chinese Standing Up
04/02/2005 01:52 PMWhen the Chinese Civil War ended in 1949, Mao Zedong famously said
“China has stood up.” While it took another forty years to get
started, the recent economic explosion has been a world-changer. But
that story isn’t over; there’s
a remarkable piece in the NY Times this morning outlining
how the Chinese are doing a bit of standing up on their own,
economically. They’re walking away from those “cheap labour”
manufacturing jobs that have served as one of the main economic
drivers of the last couple of decades. At the end of the day, cheap
labour doesn’t stay cheap. And while there are probably some more
“cheap labour” places for businesses to move—India, Africa—the
consequences for China have to be profound. And I can see the day
coming, maybe not in my lifetime but not that much further out, when
the whole notion of moving businesses around the world so you can pay
people less has become, finally, self-defeating. What happens then?

I was wondering why so many of my favorite feeds weren't coming
into my news reader and I realized (duh!) that I'm in China and
Blogger and TypePad are blocked. It's one thing blogging about it from
Japan, it's another thing actually being blocked and realizing how
much of my world just sort of disappears. There are proxy servers, but
I hear that even then, if you use one for too long, they get tracked
down and blocked literally while you're surfing...

Tian says: Regarding the "
Bizarre anti-Beatles pamphlet located", I have found an old "Meet
the Beatles" album cover in Chinese.
1. Notice all the band member's eyes? They have been changed to
make them look more 'Asianized' (and in John Lennon's case, more
stoned).
2. The phonetic translation of the band name "beatles", actually
means "disheveled hair" in Chinese."

Image: the cover of a pirated "Kill Bill" DVD in China with the
headline "HERE COMES THE BRINE." BoingBoing reader
Jon Rahoi says:
I'm living in mainland China for a couple of months. The dearth of
English TV and the terrible quality of Chinese shows made me set out,
on my very first day, to a local DVD store.
They're on every street. These people must listen to and watch a fair
number of movies and CDs. But since the average wage here is, very
roughly, US$150 a month, and the average DVD costs about US$15 back
home, how can they afford it? Do they get a continental discount?
I walked in and got right to the discount rack. Dozens of American and
foreign movies were on sale for 6RMB, about 75¢! The full-price ones
ranged from 12-18RMB ($1.50 - $2.25.) Obviously, these are copies,
fakes, pirate booty. But how good are they? For the sake of
journalistic thoroughness, I bought 35 of them.
(...) The DVD cases are works of pirate art. They are all made in the
same style from hard glossy cardboard. Cheaply made, but
professionally graphically designed. They're so uniform, you can tell
they almost all come from one maker. What makes them art, though, are
the mistakes: made by a genius dyslexican who flunked the TOEFL.
English literacy here is almost zero. A Chinese person picking up a
movie to buy would not read the title, the quotes, the description, or
the credits if they were in English. But any American movie case has
to have English, right?

The Chinaplex":

BoingBoing reader Charles Lin adds,
I lived in China for a short while, and the pirated DVD's
tend to have OCR errors. How they got "brine" from "bride" is a horrid
mistake, but especially when it comes to recognizing movie blurbs and
the blocks of credits on the back, most of the errors don't appear to
be typing transcription errors, but OCR errors from a scanner. Much of
the box art doesn't look like the American version because it's
scanned in from foreign posters for the movies, which often are of a
slightly different design.

there were hundreds of Chinese players that "farmed" the game for
profit. They travel the map generating game "gold" so they can
sell it on eBay. It was an online example of clear
cutting. LOL. Sure enough.

Modern Chinese Secret
Modern Chinese Secret
07/23/2004 01:25 PMMATT GALLANT -- Two researchers at the
Hong Kong Polytechnic University have developed a process to coat
cotton clothing and textiles with titanium dioxide so that, when
exposed to sunlight or artificial UV, the "dirt, pollutants and
micro-organisms" that have collected on the treated fabric will be
broken down and presumably fly right off into the air, and only some
of it will go up your nose.
One of the researchers, Dr. Xin, says the self-cleaning clothes are
ideal for people who lack the time to wash their clothes, like
"military people", or hikers, or people who have to take care of the
meddlesome Dr. Benton Quest and that infuriating tow-headed boy of his
before they ruin everything.
