Chinese netizens talk about their experiences donating blood, some criticizing that hospitals charge too much money for giving patients blood that was donated.

BEIJING (Reuters) - A group of Chinese reporters came up with a novel idea to test how greedy local hospitals were -- pass off tea as urine samples and submit the drink for tests.

The results: six out of 10 hospitals in Hangzhou, the capital of the rich coastal province of Zhejiang, visited by the reporters over a two-day period this month concluded that the patients' urinal tracts were infected.

This just gets excellenter and excellenter.

First they had all the fake disney characters.

Blood slaves.

What a term. It's one that recently exposed to describe the hundreds of Chinese villagers in Guangdong province, China, who sell their blood as many as 10-15 times a month, 400cc each time, for a living.

A fantastic article about Hu Jie, a Chinese documentary filmmaker, and his quest to bring to light the story of Lin Zhao - a defiant woman who was arrested and eventually executed during Mao's Anti-Rightest Campaign of the late 50s, and who used her own blood to continue writing her critical analysis of the times from prison. In Hu's own words - the story shows how far China has come.

Have you ever seen a Chinese aircraft carrier? I had not seen one until today, and I was very surprised when I saw one today while driving to Dianshanhu. When we left the highway on our way to the lake, we suddenly saw the huge boat on our right. My first thought was that the Chinese navy has a ship wharf here, and that there might be a connection to the Yangtze river. But it turned out that the boat is fake: it is made out of concrete and a small lake has been dug around it.
