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:

This article, via Imagethief shows dark skies in the distance for everyones favorite search engine - no, no, the other one. Yahoo is facing a possible class-action lawsuit in the US for its involvement in disclosing information to the PRC resulting in an arrest of a journalist there.

Global Voices asks: So where to find live disaster blogging from this past month’s catastrophe? This blogger has looked but still doesn’t know. Is Chinese media coverage sufficient? Project Diaster’s video blog seems to only bring us training videos and clips from old TV shows. So what’s the problem?

A Japanese guy falls in love with a girl he sees on the subway. And (romantically?) posts a video of her in an effort to search her out.

But he's met with some - shall we say, resistance? - from some not-so-Japan-friendly Chinese netizens.

This cool video (got via Sinosplice) shows the demolition of an old building. Just when the building appears to never want to come down, it does - on top of the poor guy demo'ing it.

Al Jazeera's take on modern China is exactly the same easy paradoxes as you'd expect from CNN or Fox News. They make up for the intro by immediately following it up with the stylings of Chinese chef turned rapper Crazy Chef, who guides the presenter around Wangfujing's snack street.

For a cost of $43 million U.S. dollars China has completed a national web project that allows Netizens to search the contents of 6,642 periodical (abt. 99% of Chinese academic periodicals). "If you ain't listed, you ain't nobody."

Google launched a local Chinese book search. Interestingly enough, while this service doesn’t make its censorship explicit, it’s restricted to find less Chinese books than Google’s other localized book searches because it omits Chinese books published outside of China mainland – this is disclosed at the end of search results in italics, reading “These results only include works from Mainland China.”*
