A 120,000-word book about sex written by a 21-year-old female college student is making waves all over China and will be published soon.

The Mutant Palm unearths a gem of a manga that incorporates a female Uyghur separatist leader as a main character; the situation of the Uyghurs is discussed in brief before the usual elements of anime pop in. Like evil mutant world government soldiers.

First 3D moving (lenticular) book for children. When you take by list, pictures going to moving.

Two women have been identified as carrying a mutant gene that is immune to HIV/AIDS, the first such cases uncovered in China, a researcher said.

I was just sitting here ready to write a post when our whole building started to sway, I thought it was a case of vertigo until the pictures started to sway. Outside what I found most strange was that some construction workers remained on the cranes and continued working.

Danwei reports a new book has been rushed to completion that lays bare the "truth" behind the Lhasa riots last month. The book "Lies and the Truth" cites such reliable and truth-worthy sources as People's Daily, Guangming Daily, China News, and Xinhuanet... handy at a road-side pitstop I'm sure.

Sinosplice has a funny and interesting post about a Chinese children's book that teaches the kids the finer points of how to say, write and draw the likes of machine gun, heavy machine gun, handgun, rifle, semi-automatic rifle, Uzi, revolver, hand grenade, flame thrower, rocket launcher, smoke grenades, tank, aircraft carrier, bomber plane, fighter jet, guided missile, stealth bomber.

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.”*
