Hao Hao ReportThe best China news and blog posts

Hi all, that last submission made me realize that I never made it entirely clear how to submit YouTube (or other) videos to the Hao Hao Report.

I had put the information in the FAQ, but who looks there, and it was broken regardless. So... here it is:

Not for the timid, this rather disturbing video is a tough watch even for those of us without a pet cat or dog. This video, put out by Peta, shows some rather inhumane conditions.

To be "fair", the conditions aren't much different than other animals being sent for slaughter in China or Western countries. Just tougher to watch when you're used to cats and dogs as your lap sitter or toe warmer.

A group representing more than 1,400 music companies in 73 countries has said it is preparing to sue Yahoo! China over allegations that it links users to Web sites offering pirated music.

From the Danwei article: "A group of American students of Chinese has produced a spoof kung fu film and posted it to Youtube. Apparently shot in Vermont, the film is titled House of Flying Bananas. The dialogue is in laowai-inflected Mandarin, with English subtitles."

It's a fun piece of silliness, which you can watch below or on YouTube.

Here's an interview I recently did with Neocha SEO Sean Leow. Sean gives us the low-down on the changing Chinese creative landscape as well as talking about his company, Neocha - a social network of creative Chinese who upload everything from pictures to music.

Also in the article are links to Neocha's cool NEXT player, which streams non-stop independent Chinese music free for all to listen to. Let it never be said again that China doesn't have any "good" music.

The country's government has let it be known that western classical and religious music is no longer acceptable. Why?

A very outrageous video of Cantonese teens attacking a naked girl in a hotel room while four boys watch and laugh. Supposedly 6-8 of the teens in the video were eventually arrested. NOTE: This video contains nudity.

The international outrage over the shooting of Tibetan refugees attempting to cross into Nepal has intensified today with the posting of a video of the event on YouTube, shot by a Romanian cameraman. The killings were captured on video from the slopes of Cho Oyu at a distance of approximately 1 kilometer. The video clearly shows several of the refugees falling to the ground as PLA soldiers fire rifle shots in their direction.

Video shot at a Free Tibet Protest outside the UN.
